Peter Dickinson's Lullaby from 'The Unicorns' for Cello and Piano. In memoriam Penelope Lynex.

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

Quelques mois seulement après le parachèvement de sa Sonate pour violoncelle op. 6, Strauss composa une autre œuvre pour cet instrument: une Romance pour violoncelle et orchestre, qui resta non publiée de son vivant. Selon le manuscrit autographe, cette composition fut terminée le 27 juin 1883, et Strauss en réalisa lui-même également la réduction pour piano. Cette Romance passe pour l’une de ses œuvres de jeunesse les plus mûres, mais, malgré quelques exécutions publiques du reste bien accueillies, données par le violoncelliste solo de l’Orchestre de la cour de Munich Hanuš Wihan, alors très renommé, elle resta longtemps dans l’ombre de la Sonate pour violoncelle. Ce n’est qu’après la première publication posthume de l’œuvre en 1986 que cette pièce exclusive et singulière fut redécouverte par les milieux musicaux – et la voici maintenant aussi dans notre édition Henle Urtext très appréciée. / Partitions classique / Cordes / Violoncelle / HENLE VERLAG

Sonate pour violoncelle en Fa majeur op. 6

Outre le Quatuor avec piano op. 13 et la Sonate pour violon op. 18, la Sonate pour violoncelle op. 6 fait partie des œuvres de musique de chambre les plus accomplies parmi l’œuvre de jeunesse de Strauss. Les influences de Mendelssohn, Schumann et Brahms se font sentir, mais laissent cependant assez de place à un langage sonore bien spécifique comportant souvent de surprenantes tournures rythmiques et mélodiques. La première version établie au printemps 1881 fut soumise par Strauss à une révision en profondeur au cours de l’hiver 1882/83: le mouvement initial fut fondamentalement retravaillé et les deux mouvements suivants furent intégralement composés à neuf.
Cela en valait apparemment la peine, car, après la première exécution à Dresde, le compositeur écrivit à sa mère: «Ma Sonate a extraordinairement plu, elle a obtenu des applaudissements colossaux, j’ai été félicité de toute part.» / Partitions classique / Cordes / Violoncelle / HENLE VERLAG

Sculthorpe uses the Plainsong Requiem Mass as the source material for this work for Solo Cello using the music to reflect the words of the Latin text. This is a most interesting concept particularly so as the timbral and expressive qualities of the cello seem appropriate for this type of work (or influenced-type of work at least). The cello has a very rich and warm tonal quality to it which Sculthopre exploits in this adventurous composition. This piece will present an enjoyable and most interesting challenge to both advancing and accomplished cellists alike.'. . .draws its inspiration from plainsong and maintains a wonderful sense of space andstillness.'Helen Wallace BBC Music Magazine October 1995

A practice guide for the modern cellist-A Grand Tour of Cello Technique is a thought-provoking practice guide enabling cellists at all levels to develop their own style through an exploration of different ways of fingering and bowing. The book not only helps cellists improve their playing but also promotes an understanding of musical art through nine stimulating chapters.With a particular emphasis on music of the 20th and 21st centuries and its connections with earlier music Fred Sherry takes the reader on a voyage of discovery of the art and science of cello technique informed by music ranging from Bach all the way through to Berio.Fred Sherry has introduced audiences on fivecontinents and all fifty United States to the music of our time for more than five decades. He has had close working relationships with Charles Wuorinen Lukas Foss Oliver Knussen Elliott Carter Milton Babbitt Toru Takemitsu Chick Corea Pierre Boulez Mario Davidovsky and others whose works he has premiered and recorded. He has been soloist and ?sideman? on hundreds of commercial and esoteric recordings; his discography ranges from Schütz Bach Mozart Beethoven and Brahms through Schoenberg and Stravinsky to the 20th and 21st century works written for him. He is a member of the cello faculty of The Juilliard School the Mannes College of Music and the Manhattan School of Music.

Tailitnama Song is based upon The Song Of Tailitnama a work which Sculthorpe wrote in 1974. The work is made up of three parts. Following the first an impassioned chant the second part is a statement of the melody to which the verses of the original 1974 work are sung. Arranged for Solo Cello.
