Romance in G Major for Violin and Orchestra

Samuel Coleridge-Taylor
Piece Duration: 12:00

About this Piece

"His one movement work Romance in G Major is one of several works he wrote for the instrument. It's a lyrical showpiece, eschewing technical wizardry in favor of rich melodies, and lush, opulent lines. Beautiful melodies, generous use of double stops, and the use of the violin's full range contribute to this work's richness and opulence." - Performer's Edition
