Felix Borowski

Adoration

This single-movement work in the key of D has entered the repertoire as an essential Violin piece for the experienced musician. Adoration is a perennial favourite work of composer, Violinist, critic and writer Felix Borowski, witha beautiful melody that builds to ecstatic ending on high D. Borowski was born of Polish parents in England, but, after an invitation from American showman Florenz Ziegfeld, spent most of his life in Chicago where he taught atthe Chicago Musical Conservatory and Northwestern University. He created the music collection at the Newberry Library there. He also edited the programmes of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, as well as composing andteachingprivately.
