Evocative and sometimes unsettling, this work for viola and keyboard (synthesizer or piano) was originally composed as underscoring for Lady Macbeth’s sleepwalking scene (Act V, scene i—“Out, damned spot! out, I say!”) in Shakespeare’s play. The scoring offers considerable latitude for the keyboardist to explore different timbres and effects, especially in the fast moving middle section.

TOTAL DURATION: about 8 minutes
