INSTRUMENTATION : Score in C Solo Viola 1 Solo Viola 2 Strings --Minimum recommended string section size: 6-5-4-3-2 Minimum string section size: 5-4-3-3-1 Maximum recommended string section: 16-14-12-10-8 If the work is performed unconducted, the Concertmaster should perform/direct the conducted sweeping gestures notated in the bottom staff of the score. A separate Concertmaster part is included with the set of performance parts and should only be used if the work is unconducted, as it contains the conducting staff in this part. Violin I performance parts are divided into three booklets (Stand 1 / Inner Stands / Last Stand). Violin II performance parts are divided into two booklets (Stand 1 / Stands 2-Last Stand). Violoncello performance parts are divided into three booklets (Stand 1 / Inner Stands / Last Stand). The orchestra librarian or principal players should indicate the partitioning of divisi of a2, a3, a4 as necessary in the performance parts to accommodate the specific string complement used in performance. Double Bass should use C-Extension, or perform with scordatura tuning of E-string tuned down to C. There should be no octave doublings in the Double Bass section.
PERFORMANCE NOTE: Seating Diagram (recommended): The string orchestra should ideally be arranged in the following general spatial setup to achieve the effects of sounds rippling across the ensemble (from ensemble left to right and right to left). It is ideal for the Viola section to be on the right side of the ensemble.
The placement of the Double Basses in the center of the ensemble is not vital, and they may be placed wherever is needed/possible for space considerations of the stage and the logistics of the performance.

Performance Techniques:
“Wind/Breath Sound”:
Players should finger the pitch indicated (always a quarter-tone sharp, one whole-step above the open string, on each respective string indicated) with light finger and bow pressure so that the result has little to no pitch, imitating a breath-like sound. The quarter-tone pitches are used because they are in between harmonic partials and therefore have a more complex spectra which will more regularly result in a pitch-less sound at soft and medium dynamics. If players find a different position on the string on their instrument that results in a more reliable breath-like sound, they may finger that position/partial instead.
“Tiny Swells/Shudders” (only in the Violas):
Players should begin performing the “Wind/Breath Sound” (as described above) and then swell in dynamic so that random airy and unstable harmonics sound. This is performed very quickly. Players should perform at the dynamic indicated even if a stable pitch sounds, though they can slightly glissando their fingers in quartertone increments to find a sound that has a more unstable/less pure harmonic sound. After cresc./dim., players should return to the “Wind/Breath Sound.” “Rustling Sound”:
Players should begin performing the “Wind/Breath Sound” (with tremolo) and then cresc. in dynamic so that a mix of random unstable/airy/broken harmonics sound on the crescendo. The goal should be to find a “gritty/dirty” sound on the crescendo, like rustling leaves/branches/feathers. Players begin with light finger and bow pressure for the “Wind/Breath Sound,” but should increase bow pressure and position (sul tasto/ord.) as needed to achieve a proper crescendo. Players should perform at the louder dynamic indicated even if a stable pitch sounds, though they can slightly glissando their fingers to find a sound that has a more unstable/less pure harmonic sound. After cresc./dim., players should return to the “Wind/Breath Sound” technique (light bow/finger pressure/pitch-less). In sections that include the “Rustling Sound” within boxed notation, players should choose the total duration of each gesture between the durational range indicated. Each time they play this gesture they should randomly choose a slightly different duration within the range, so that the rustling sounds are different each time (players may perform the same duration twice in a row, but not three times).
“Airy/Woody Ric.”:
Perform a ricochet on the strings, with an indeterminate number of bounces (ad lib.), lightly dampening strings so there is a deadened sound with very little to no pitch. The resulting sound should be airy/woody.
“Fluttering Sound”:
Players should bariolage across all four strings while lightly touching the strings where indicated, and then glissando their fingers to the pitches indicated, keeping an approximate hand shape, ad lib. All pitches in these gestures are approximate pitches and will achieve random indeterminate harmonics/sounds. These are not supposed to be natural harmonics, though if natural harmonics sound in the process that is expected. The resulting sound should imitate a flock of seagulls. Slash Notation: Players should memorize the figures used in the sections marked by slash notation, and only perform these when cued by the conductor. In these sections, players should watch the Conductor (or Concertmaster, if unconducted) intently and the Conductor will gesture in sweeping motions across ensemble (Left / Middle / Right) with their hand (or hand/bow/instrument, if Concertmaster). During these sections, players should play when gestured/pointed at by the Conductor, performing the figures indicated in the boxed figure corresponding to that specific section. Each player begins the boxed figure(s) independently when cued by sweeping conducted gesture. Where appropriate, each player chooses a duration from range indicated, playing independently from one another during the duration indicated. The result should sound like a breeze of rustling leaves rippling across the ensemble.
Conductor Gestures: There is a Conductor staff at the bottom of the score. The Conductor (or Concertmaster, if unconducted) will use their Left Hand (or Right Hand/bow/instrument as feasible for the Concertmaster) to motion across the ensemble as indicated in the notation. The goal is for each wave of sound initiated by Conductor’s sweeping gestures to ripple through the ensemble in ways that change slightly each time. It should evoke the sense of wind rustling the leaves in trees in a forest. Conductor Notation: Conductor “paints” with gestures sweeping across ensemble. Staff notation: Top line of staff: point to left side of ensemble Middle line: point to middle of ensemble Bottom line: point to right side of ensemble Glissando line: Slide hand from starting to end points (L to R; or R to L across ensemble)
Double Bass: Double Bass should use C-Extension, or perform with scordatura tuning of E-string tuned down to C. There should be no octave doublings in the Double Bass section.
If scordatura tuning is used, the pitches on the C/E String in the “Wind/Breath Sound” and “Rustling Sound” techniques should be transposed down a Major 3rd, so that the positions touched on the strings are in the correct harmonic series (in between standard partials) and so the double-stops in the “Rustling Sound” gesture are possible.
COMPOSER’S NOTE: I took daily walks as I wrote this piece. I walked along a path that sits atop a ridge in the Italian countryside and is lined with trees on both sides: towering cypresses that stand tall and erect like ancient living pillars or guarding giants, and younger lindens that reach across to each other and gently entwine their branches above. The path stretches straight from a castle on one end across the ridge and through a gate to a forest beyond where the eye can see. Walking down this path evoked in me a sense of a procession through time. It was only after completing this work did I realize how much the experience of my daily walks had seeped into my conception of this concerto, both consciously and unconsciously. At its heart, Double Concerto No. 2 is an exploration of the intertwining relationships between discrete and opposing forces. I contemplate various acts of weaving-together: of one life with another, of the human and natural worlds, of stasis and movement, of the past and present, and of feelings such as love, loss, joy and remembrance. While the concerto is symphonic in scope, its central focus is the two soloists and their interactions between each other and the orchestra. The work is structured in five movements and a coda. The movements are woven together without pause by five interludes. In each interlude, waves of sound ripple and rustle across the ensemble, which often are “painted” by the conductor’s sweeping gestures. The two solo violists are often put into conversation with a consort of three violists from the orchestra. In movements II and V, this trio consort introduces quotations from music of the past, which are reimagined and reframed throughout the concerto: 16th-century composer John Dowland’s Flow My Tears (originally Lachrimae Pavan, c. 1596 A.D.), and 11th-century composer Pérotin’s Viderunt Omnes (“All the Ends of the Earth,” c. 1198). Dowland’s lamenting lute song was originally composed in the form of a pavane, which is a slow processional dance for couples that often precedes a faster, joyous dance. Pérotin’s luminous setting of a Gregorian chant is one of the first instances of polyphony in Western European music. Double Concerto No. 2 was composed for violists Misha Amory and Hsin-Yun Huang and was cocommissioned by Yellow Barn, Seth Knopp, Artistic Director, as part of Yellow Barn’s commissioning project in memory of Roger Tapping; co-commissioned by The Juilliard School; co-commissioned by the New York Classical Players, Dongmin Kim, Music Director; and co-commissioned by Rhode Island Chamber Music Concerts. Double Concerto No. 2 is dedicated to Misha Amory and Hsin-Yun Huang, and to the memory of violist Roger Tapping. This work was composed during a residency at the Civitella Ranieri Foundation, situated in a 16th-century Italian castle on the site of an 11th-century church. - Eric Nathan
