Colin Kirkpatrick’s Sanctusfor cello and piano is a lyrical, elegiac melody that reflects the spirit of abygone age. The musical language istonal but chromatic and has proved a popular item at cello recitals where it’sbeen played. The piano shares some of the melodic material with the cello andthe music evokes peace and tranquility; there’s a brief yet passionate passagenear the middle of the piece before the music returns to the quite place whereit began. Some sections of the cello part are written in the tenor clef and therange goes into the fourth position, though the note A5 appears once. This workwould make an excellent addition to a cello recital. The score (piano andcello) and the solo cello part are presented in a single 7-page PDF file. (Duration:03:07)
