Sonata for Violoncello and Piano (2004)

Three movements, cello and piano; ca. 10 min.

The composer writes: My Sonata for Violoncello and Piano (2004) is in three movements. The first is in a modified sonata form, which may lend some legitimacy to my use of the word “sonata” in the title. And the second movement is in a simple ABA form.
 
The third movement, subtitled “Canterbury,” 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.
