In addition to Bryars' many vocal laude there are a growing number of connected instrumental works. Tre Laude Dolce for solo cello is the second of these to be released as a Schott Edition publication and follows Bryars' Lauda (con sordino) originally for cello and piano. Based on the same principals as the composer's vocal laude and as always, attempting to retain the purity and austerity of the original form, Tre Laude Dolce is characterised by long phrases and open structures; a beautiful work perfect for any good cellist.

The source of the present edition is preserved in the Archivio di Stato, Bologna. Editorial principles: In the score, the number of editorial interventions has been kept to a minimum. The original dynamic and expression markings are extremely few and far between, but precise. Only three dynamic levels are specified: forte, dolce ( = piano) and dolce assai ( = pianissimo). As regards expression markings we note the complete absence of the legato sign, though the appoggiatura, staccato, trill and two different types of bow-vibrato (both in association with dolce or dolce assai) can all be found. It is a well known fact that 18th century vibrato, obtained not by a movement of the left hand but rather by a variation in the pressure of the bow, was an expressive effect to be used with discretion and not, as today, a constant means of sound production. Territorial restrictions may apply. Please ask before ordering.
