Fade (2018)
for cello and ensemble 05'
solo cello, flute, clarinet in A, glockenspiel, piano, violin, cello (alternate version, bass)
PROGRAM NOTE
Fade is a brief piece for Solo Cello and mixed ensemble. At first the work is so slow that there is little distinction between the soloist and the ensemble. Gradually, from one gesture to the next, a momentum is built and the soloist comes into focus.
This piece was written for Orford Music Academy as a contribution to their annual composition workshop. It was premiered in the summer of 2018.
