The composer states:'The term 'oblique strategies? was coined jointly by British musician Brian Eno and German-born British visual artist Peter Schmidt to describe a series of printed cards they developed throughout the 1970's. The cards had their origins in sets of uncannily similar working principles that both artists had established independently, and featured aphorisms intended as a means of triggering inspiration or providing useful stimulus during the creative process, particularly when encountering difficulties of fatigue or time constraint.As Eno and Schmidt wrote in their introduction to the first edition in 1975: 'They can be used as a pack (a set of possibilities being continuously reviewed in the mind) or by drawing a single card from the shuffled pack when a dilemma occurs in a working situation. In this case, the card is trusted even if its appropriateness is quite unclear. They are not final, as new ideas will present themselves, and others will become self-evident?.I chose eleven of Eno and Schmidt's strategies, ordering them in a way that revealed to me a logic and potential inter-relatedness within a hitherto disparate set of single ideas I had assembled for solo cello, each of them in turn a reflection upon the commission's initial purpose of creating a test piece for the 2014 Emanuel Feuermann cello competition.It's my hope then that the resultant composition may provide not only an interesting test of the competitors' talents but also offer the interpreter an opportunity to reflect upon the delights and pitfalls of creativity as he or she comes to terms with the various musical and technical challenges to be found within these ten minutes of music for solo cello.? / Violoncelle

This is a deeply felt concerted work for cello and orchestra. It is in a moderate twentieth century style modal rather than chromatic a tonal work with a mood that is elegiac and dramatic. The Kaddish is a prayerordinarily given during Jewish services for the dead though it never mentions Death. There are traditional melodies and Hebrew cantillation associated with the text but Diamond did not use any of these nor indeed anyparticular Jewish music. The themes he says are his own concept. In describing the form and style of the music Diamond relates the Kaddish to others of his compositions that have some connection to ritual neither theater musicnor abstract music.The music is primarily melodic. Its modal quality suggests the work's Jewish connection but the actual mode is not specifically Jewish in sound. The work rises to a serious and affirmative climaxtowards its end then subsides.

Cheryl Frances-Hoad's Excelsus for solo Cello. 'Excelsus takes the form of a suite each movement being based on a passage from the Requiem mass text. Although I spent many hours refining my interpretation of the words the work is ultimately a more instinctive reaction to the evocative language of the excerpts. However my stance was always totally atheistic and this infiltrates everything from the mood through the disregard for the text’s order to the instrumentation (the use of a lone figure which I viewed as a musical equivalent to the ‘first person’ offending against the liturgical norms which areconcerned with people as a community). Musically the entire work is based on two themes one melodic (the Rex Tremendae or ‘King of Awful Majesty’ theme which is heard at the very opening) and one chordal (the Lux Aeternum (Light eternal) chords not revealed in their pure form until the pizzicato passage that concludes the suite). The order ofthe movements is as follows: Requiem Aeternum (Grant them eternal rest)Kyrie (Lord have mercy)Tuba Mirum (Hark the Trumpet)Sanctus (Holy holy)Dies Irae (Day of Wrath)Agnus Dei (Lamb of God)Quid Sum Miser (What shall I a wretch say then?)' - Cheryl Frances-Hoad
