Wiegenlied Variations

Simon Rowland-Jones

Viola and Piano

Wiegenlied Variations is a set of freely composed variations on the well-known lullaby by Brahms. It is somewhat akin in concept perhaps to Benjamin Britten's "reflections" in his Lachrymae for viola and piano in which Dowland's song is only clearly revealed at the end of the work. In these variations the lullaby is heard in the middle, split into two parts by a central variation that contains the climax of the work.

Duration c.14 minutes.
