"Canterbury" for Cello and Piano (2004)
Cello and piano; ca. 5 min.
The composer writes: “Canterbury” is the third movement of my Sonata for Violoncello and Piano (2004); it may be performed as a stand-alone piece.
The piece is based on a four-bell change-ringing pattern of the same name. Four “bells” (represented by four piano chords) are presented in all possible groupings – while the cello plays long, lyrical phrases that rise to a high C and descend to the instrument’s lower range.
