Representative works
Work | Notes | |
---|---|---|
Slicked back tango (2007) by Elena Kats-Chernin | Cool and trendy, in a popular idiom. | |
| Threnody (1992) by Peter Sculthorpe | for solo cello. This piece, in three, boldly contrasting sections, was written as an emotional relation to the tragic early death of Stuart Challender. |
| Blue upon blue (1991) by David Lumsdaine | A dreamy, lovely piece for solo cello, with gently extended techniques. |
| Jungle fever (1998) by Matthew Hindson | for cello and piano. Fresh and original writing of powerful and memorable effect. |
| Whales, waves and the ocean (2008) by Rosalind Carlson | for cello and piano. A pleasing piece that combines simplicity with modest technical demands. Suitable for intermediate-advanced players. |
| The wind stirs gently (1992) by Nigel Butterley | for flute and cello. Intimately entwined duo writing, with rhythmic challenge and attractive result. |
| Cycle of love (1981) by Anne Boyd | countertenor, alto flute, cello and piano. Pseudo-Japanese sounds combine for gently romantic, 'spiritual' result. A distinctive and not very difficult piece of chamber music. |
| Maninya I (1981) by Ross Edwards | for voice and cello - stylistically conspicuous; technically exacting work, appealing to both listeners and players. |
