Busker Suite, written for violinist Amy Hillis, is a collection of short pieces that were composed during moments of spontaneous inspiration. They represent musical snapshots of what inspired me during those moments while capturing the spirit of busker music. A “busker” is a person who performs music (or other forms of entertainment) on the street or in public spaces for monetary donations. Collectively, these short works represent my take on busker music and my appreciation of the busker tradition. These were meant to be fun pieces for violinists to perform for any occasion – in a pub, in a concert hall, or anywhere they choose.
