Program Note
As the title suggests, One Movement for Cello is a straight up piece for solo cello. In other words, music without words. The purity of this form demands that the music make sense as music above all. My approach is not atypical of my personal character: one moment I could be a goofball vibrating with rhythm from hell. The next, I surrender to the magic of a beautiful melody. Cello has always been my hero in the melody department. In this piece, it’s time to vibrate with rhythm from hell.
