Product Description

Composed for professional and college-level viola groups. Improvisation sections in the first and fourth parts. Four Viola friends got together and decided to do a series of concerts of arrangements, standard repertoire and new original works for viola quartet. The title comes from seeing a sundog (astronomical event where a second sun appears next to the real one for a few moments) while driving across the San Francisco Bay Bridge. This piece was also used for a series of "Drive-by Viola" concerts (music presented quickly in strange places before the cops show up) in Boston in 2006 and for the "The Viola is (not a) Joke" concert for Mallarme Players in North Carolina in 2012. Includes a "prepared" viola part using aluminum foil under the strings for a tambura effect.

This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters. ArrangeMe allows for the publication of unique arrangements of both popular titles and original compositions from a wide variety of voices and backgrounds.
