About Suite

Between 1984 and 2000, Myron Rosenblum (Professor Emeritus at the City University of New York) commissioned Lane to write six pieces for the viola d’amore, all of which were premiered at various International Viola d’amore Congresses. This particular piece, Suite (for three violas d’amore), was world premiered in 1994 at the Seventh International Viola d’amore Congress in Dayton, Ohio. Rosenblum stated that “Lane's melodic gifts, fresh harmonies (gentle and accessible), and hard-to-describe American sounds are evident in his works for viola d'amore."
