VIOLAFEST is a set of original duets, trios and quartets for viola, with optional violin parts for one or more of the voices in each piece. The harmonies range from fairly traditional to contemporary.  The pieces are notated in score form, so that players can follow what is happening in other parts.

VIOLAFEST VOLUME 1 contains pieces which are suitable for beginning through intermediate level viola players, or for violinists who are learning the alto clef.  Several duets have one part which uses only open strings, along with a melody part for a teacher or more experienced student.  All pieces in this volume can be played in first position, and all are in alto clef.

VIOLAFEST VOLUME 2 contains more technical difficulties than Volume 1, and some of the pieces could challenge advanced players.  Many involve shifting, and Viola 1 parts frequently use both alto and treble clefs.
