The viola is almost completely limited to classical music, and even so is less often used for solo concerti and sonatas than the violin and the cello. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viola      Discografie van Morton Feldman 1987/Piano, Violin, Viola, Cello/Piano, Violin, Viola, Cello/UE 18751 1962/The O'Hara Songs/Bass-Baritone, Chimes, Piano, Violin, Viola, Cello/EP 6949 1970/The Viola in My Life I/Viola, Flute, Violin, Cello, Piano, Percussion/UE 15395 http://studwww.rug.ac.be/~jnclaeys/feldmandiscografie.htm      Vertical viola Since all of the instruments are designed based on the violin, Hutchins gave the name alto violin to her vertical viola design. Web data suggest, however, it may find a niche as an instrument for cellists who wish to play viola music. The cellist Yo-Yo Ma has employed a Hutchins vertical viola to perform and record Béla Bartók 's Viola Concerto. http://www.sciencedaily.com/encyclopedia/vertical_viola      LCHS McConnell Mansion Out there somewhere in the music world are all of Arthur’s violins, violas, ‘cellos, and string basses. Of all the instruments of the violin family, the viola is the least benign to its player. At that time, Ross had made 110 instruments, 40 of which were violins. http://users.moscow.com/lchs/ross.html      [No title] The new album continues the band’s progression towards an edgier, electric, full-band style of music. Their sound was anchored in folk music and harmonized vocals and their catalog constisted of mostly covers and a few originals. Percussion for the album was provided by Carter Beauford of Dave Matthews Band. http://www.vmd-musikk.com/sider/friend_114E.htm      CR Series Viola Now the violist can shed the constraints of the acoustic instrument, and enjoy full, rich, powerful sound from an instrument that is very comfortable to play. The 4-string NS Viola completes the NS Design family of electric concert stringed instruments. Set in the vertical mode, plucked notes are remarkably even and sustained. http://www.nedsteinberger.com/files/viola.html      ¤¤¤ Music :: Classical. The New York Album [ Sony '1994]; Stephen Albert, Bela Bartok, Ernest ... Bartok's Concerto for Viola and Orchestra is next, and it gives us the opportunity to hear Ma on alto violin, a vertical viola. The other works on the disk, the Bartok Concerto for Viola transcribed for cello and Ernest Bloch's Sholomo are showcases for the cello that show off Ma's incredible skill. Unfortunately, it is also one of Albert's final pieces as he sadly died in a car accident in 1992, before this CD was released. http://classical.music.webmarket.ws/en/B0000029K5/the-new-york-album/      Founding a Family of Fiddles - Sec. 7 After you decide what kind of acoustics you want, you still have another problem: You have to make fiddles that people can play. For years we worked toward design of an acoustically good instrument with genuine viola tone. From our set of experimentally adapted instruments, which represent a variety of styles and designs in violin making, we had learned many things. http://www.catgutacoustical.org/research/articles/fiddfam/fiddfam7.html      Directory of Australian Violin and Bow Makers Thought to have made 2 violins and 1 viola. Made about 170 violins, 40 violas and 3 cellos.

Ten Bright Spikes version features Previn on lead vocal and Violin, Honea on second vocal, Ostoya on Viola and Stabell on Piano, with two members of the San Francisco Bach Choir on backing vocals. Melodic, beautifully textured songs which employ a violin, a viola, a piano, and tribal drumming. http://www.newredarchives.com/bands/xbs      Carleen Maley Hutchins - The Violin Octet They brought with them a one-eighth-sized violin tuned an octave higher than a viola and a small cello strung as a tenor violin tuned an octave below a conventional violin, but were not satisfied with either. Conventional string instruments relate to the octet in the following ways: the violin has the same tuning as the mezzo, the viola the same tuning as the alto, the cello the same tuning as the baritone, and the double bass the same tuning as the contrabass violin. The group's discoveries about violin acoustics were incorporated into the design of the instruments. http://www.newviolinfamily.org/cmh/cmh-octet.html      THE REBEC PAGE Nonetheless, the general sense is that the instrument has a high sounding voice, higher than the contemporary fiddles and viols, which were tuned similarly to modern violas and cellos, and had a soft, mellow sound. Pegbox: For the early instruments (up to the 14th century), the standard was to have the "box" as a flat disc or diamond through which the pegs were mounted vertically. Chaucer's Friar comments that a woman's voice was "shrill lyke a rebekke," and a similar comment in made by John Skelton. http://crab.rutgers.edu/~pbutler/rebec.html      Founding a Family of Fiddles - Sec. 8 In fact several musicians have indicated that it may be the violin of the future. Early polyphonic music, where the tenor's counterpart in the viol family had a voice, has been rearranged for either cello or viola. The body length of the tenor was redeveloped from the Dautrich vilon which had a length ratio of 1.72 to the violin. http://www.catgutacoustical.org/research/articles/fiddfam/fiddfam8.html      ACMP Newsletter,June 2003 Ms Oshima has been based in Tokyo and currently is on a faculty of viola and chamber music at Toho School of Music Orchestra Academy where she earned her BA.

The lack of strong harmonic identity in most of the music reinforces the rather dry nature of the polyphony. No doubt these play essential parts in the group's sound, but it is Ernesto Rodrigues's viola, Guilherme Rodrigues's cello and Margarida Garcia's electric double bass that appear to predominate. http://www.paristransatlantic.com/magazine/monthly2004/04apr_text.html      CR Series Viola Specifications ACTIVE ELECTRONICS Dual mode preamp allows the player to choose between two distinct tone qualities: (1) the extended frequency response of modern low impedance electronics, for full-blown “electric” sound, and (2) active electronic shaping to replicate the frequency response of the traditional violin, for a more “acoustic” sound. ™ directional piezo pickup system responds selectively to either lateral string vibration (for dynamic bowing) or vertical string vibration (for remarkably even and sustained plucked/pizzicato sound, like a mandolin). http://www.nedsteinberger.com/files/violaspec.html      Sodar measurements, DdU 1993 For each channel, the facsimile records, the instantaneous profile of radial velocities as well as the vertical profiles of the averaged horizontal wind component, the vertical velocities, and the echo intensities were recorded on a 589 Mbyte optical disk.

It has six strings tuned in fourths, except for the two middle strings which are tuned a third apart.
