Passing Acquaintance was written for Jung-Ho Pak and The Cape Cod Symphony and is a double concerto for violin, viola, and orchestra. It is based on the famous Handel-Halvorsen Passacaglia for violin and viola, a perennial favorite of virtuosic string players. In fact, that famous duet remains mostly intact, and the orchestral textures are written around it, creating a third context for the original Handel Passacaglia. The piece is an interesting way to program a double concerto using solo music known to many performers already, and presents an intriguing double update, as it were, to Handel's original work.
