Passacaglia

The Passacaglia is extracted from the second movement of my trio for violin, trumpet and piano: La Viaggio Vita. It was obvious that the second movement elicited a strong emotional response from players and audiences alike. With that in mind, it occurred to me that it would make for a nice solo instrumental feature. The original was written as a dedication piece for a 20th wedding anniversary, and it is this five minute section, in particular, that represents the loving bond formed in a marriage.
