Colin Matthews

Composer

His work has its own dynamic originality.

— Geoffrey Norris, The Daily Telegraph

Moto Perpetuo (1988). Violin & piano

cover of score for chaconne with choral & moto perpetuo

Moto Perpetuo is one of a sequence of four short pieces for violin and piano which are all birthday presents for friends and colleagues. It was what is known (in my family, at least) as a half-birthday present, for Helen Carter on the occasion of Elliott Carter’s 80th.

See also Capriccioletto, Chaconne with Chorale and Omaggio.
