Sheet Music: Score & Part(s)The Dreaming Land : Sonata for Cello and Piano / Natalie Williams.by Natalie Williams (2018)
|
Product details
The Dreaming Land is a sonata for cello and piano, exploring emotional connections to the physical world. The piece presents a sonic journey across a fictional landscape. The listener is offered the chance to travel with the protagonists through an idealised world. The Dreaming Land of the title alludes to the vast terrain of the Australian continent as the piece traverses ideas of time and place in three movements.
1) Voices of the Ancients
The players appear amidst a timeless landscape, floating in
memory. They gradually reveal interjecting voices from the past
as the movement transforms into a slow hymn from eternity,
dissipating into the echoes of the past.
2) The Chanting Walker…
The solo cello personifies a lone traveler walking steadily
across a flat landscape, trudging slowly through time. The low
bass punctuations in the piano ground the traveler on the earth
as the walker chants in time with each footstep, while wandering
across the land.
3) Ethereal Furies
The narrator and companion are forced into a battle with the land
and the elements, as they dance across the limitless earth,
navigating the furious expanse of time, life and the eternal.
