Commissioned by Jennifer Koh with the generous support of Justus Schlicting, to whom the violin version is dedicated. The viola version is dedicated to Carol Rodland. Venus Enchanted – I wanted to compose a short piece that “shows off” the players many talents: elegant soft playing, rich double stops, virtuosic music, athletic music, driving and passionate music, calm music etc. I wanted to try to sculpt a short piece – but one with fertile variety or characters all woven together in a tightly integrated and organic composition – so as to illustrate a variety of colours in sublime string playing. VENUS is the Roman goddess whose functions encompass love, beauty, fertility, prosperity, victory and desire.
