Title A name given to the resource Perfect Storm Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2010 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Ran, Shulamit (b. 1949) Description An account of the resource Israeli-born American composer Shulamit Ran composed "Perfect Storm" for viola in 2010. <br /><br />Notes on the publisher's website state: "Melia Watras, a foremost performing violist and professor of viola, has commissioned a good number of composers for new works for her instrument. In her commission of Ran, she requested that a starting point be an excerpt from any established work in the viola's repertoire of Ran's choosing. Ran immediately turned to the haunting viola solo passage from Luciano Berio's Black Is the Color (from Folksongs). While the Berio is infused throughout Ran's Perfect Storm, she has crafted a sonic landscape of varied mood, using an array of the violist's skills and techniques in an impressive concert work. See a video excerpt on YouTube from the world premiere, which includes a discussion of the work by Ran and Watras." <br /><br />Dedication: In spirited gratitude to Melia Watras for her ispirare project, and to my "viola iinspiration" -- Black is the Color...from Folk Songs (1964) by Luciano Berio Duration: 10.5 minutes Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Shulamit Ran (Wikipedia), <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shulamit_Ran">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shulamit_Ran</a> Shulamit Ran, Perfect Storm (score), <a href="https://www.presser.com/114-41510-perfect+storm.html">https://www.presser.com/114-41510-perfect+storm.html</a> Shulamit Ran, Perfect Storm (Spotify), <a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/3i4AP1V1M33ehvjPT5cMhu?highlight=spotify:track:0bRftmcUXakkDd1qeFyMlN">https://open.spotify.com/album/3i4AP1V1M33ehvjPT5cMhu?highlight=spotify:track:0bRftmcUXakkDd1qeFyMlN</a> Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant 2000- Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Theodore Presser Company Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource 10-20 minutes 10-20 minutes 2000- Ran, Shulamit (b. 1949) solo viola / violon-alto
