The Gelato Trio was composed during a music festival in Assisi, Italy. It just so happens that the finest gelato in all of Italy is located right across the street from the festival hotel, and many of the musicians became fixtures in that particular gelateria! Many great friendships were born over a gelato, or two, or three… each day. The trio was composed for 3 friends in particular, a violinist, bassoonist and pianist. Some time later, A violist friend of mine asked if we could perform the piece together. I was thrilled with how nicely the viola fit into the instrumentation. The piece is divided into two distinct movements. The first movement, “Life Without Gelato” expresses (in a slightly melodramatic way…) the emptiness and longing one feels when deprived of such a delicious treat. The joyous, boisterous second movement, “Life With Gelato” exhibits the energy and happiness you can’t help but feel after sharing a REAL Italian gelato with friends. Thank you Shelley for demonstrating how much violists enjoy gelato too!
