A Meadow Calls is a short solo work for viola, also available in a version for violin. Written for Carlos Boltes Palma, the piece evokes memories of earlier days when walks through meadows and woods offered an invitation to explore nature.

With its intimate scoring and reflective character, A Meadow Calls suggests a quiet personal landscape shaped by memory, solitude, and the natural world. The work reflects Baxter’s lyrical voice and his ability to create expressive meaning through clear, direct musical gestures.

Well suited for solo recital programs, nature-themed concerts, and reflective contemporary repertoire, A Meadow Calls invites warm tone, lyrical phrasing, and a sense of inward reflection.
