A la Mozart for two violins; Adolphus Hailstork. Set of performance scores.
Adolphus Hailstork's (b 1941) is one of the foremost African-American composers working today. His style and output cannot be pigeonholed as one type of music--he has written in all classical genres and finds as much inspiration in European models as he does in African-American culture.
For violinist Olga Bloom, late founder of Bargemusic in Brooklyn, Hailstork has composed a memorial in the style of Mozart and Bach for two violins. A la Mozart features counterpoint, unison, and duo playing between the instruments throughout its six minute performance.
