Postlude for Solo Viola and Orchestra by Scott Slapin

Tanya Solomon performs the solo viola part of this all viola version of Scott Slapin’s Postlude, the final work written for his mother’s memorial concert in 2008. The accompanying three viola parts are played by the composer, by the miracle of overdubbing technology.

Composer Bio: Scott Slapin’s viola playing has received critical acclaim in Fanfare, Strad, the American Record Guide, Mundo Clásico, and Musical Opinion, and his popular recital compositions have been performed by hundreds of viola players throughout the world. Scott and his wife, violist Tanya Solomon, have been performing together as the award-winning Slapin-Solomon Viola Duo for more than twenty years. Many of Scott’s compositions can be heard on more than ten albums by the Slapin-Solomon Viola Duo, the Wistaria String Quartet, the Penn State Viola Ensemble, Viola Around the World, and the American Viola Quartet. Scott was the first person to record the complete set of J.S. Bach’s Sonatas and Partitas on viola; in addition to a rare viola recording of Paganini’s 24 Caprices, he can be heard playing Bach, Paganini, and some of his own compositions on various soundtracks for film and TV. At eighteen Scott was one of the youngest graduates of the Manhattan School of Music in New York City. He teaches viola, violin, and composition privately online and has reached students on five continents via Skype.
