Lowell Liebermann's Chamber Concerto No. 2, Op. 98, was commissioned by Concertante for violinist Xiao-Dong Wang. Scored for violin solo accompanied by String Quintet, the work is in one compact movement whose material evolves from the opening accompanimental figure and the solo violin's almost improvisitory-sounding cantilena.   The mood of the piece is predominantly dark and foreboding, and includes a somber march whose cumulative canonic entrances build to the work's final climax. The news of the sudden death of a close friend during the final month of composition contributed to the somber tone of the piece.
