Dedication(not set)
Program NotesScree is the small broken stones which tend to accumulate at the bottom of a steep slope. Scree, in the course of its 15 minute length, presents all three musicians in virtuostic roles. The cello takes the lead much of the time in melodic lines which vary widely in expressive character... The piano and percussion at times accompany or partially double the cello, but they play very active roles nonetheless. At the end of the first, third, and fourth movements, the percussion takes the lead in serene, static music that features metal sounds and harmonics in cello and piano. The last occurrence of this music will give rise to the final melody in the cello, now mainly in harmonics, accompanied by gentle chords and quiet bells. - -Donald Crockett
