| Title Name | Cello Concerto |
| Marketing Copy | A three-movement, 22 minute concerto. The first movement is generally fast and alternates jazzy material with more moderately-paced lyrical music featuring the solo cello. The second movement combines scherzo and adagio in abrupt juxtapositions. The third movement, by contrast, is an energetic finale in one tempo. Composed for Marcy Rosen. |
| Instrumentation | Cello Solo: 2(1dPicc).2(1dEH).1+BCl.2: 2.2.1.0: Perc(2).Pno: Str(min. 6.5.4.4.2) |

| Program Notes | This new Cello Concerto came into being due to the efforts of Marcy Rosen's manager, Earl Blackburn. Earl had heard an orchestral piece of mine at a convention in California, and decided to try to set up a collaboration between Marcy (in New York City) and myself (in Los Angeles). Tapes crossed in the mail, the musical relationship was established, and I went to work in April, 1992 with Ms. Rosen's exciting, lyrical playing in my head. The result is a three-movement, twenty-two minute concerto for cello and orchestra (woodwinds and brass in pairs, piano, percussion and strings). The first and second movements juxtapose two principal, sometimes sharply contrasting, musical ideas: the first movement, generally fast, alternates jazzy sixteenth note material (primarily in violins and violas) with more moderately-paced lyrical music featuring the solo cello; the second movement combines scherzo and adagio in abrupt juxtapositions. The third movement, by contrast, is an energetic finale in one tempo. The Concerto was completed in October, 1992 and is dedicated to Marcy Rosen. The premiere performance was given by the Colonial Symphony (New Jersey) with Yehuda Gilad conducting and Ms. Rosen as soloist. --Donald Crockett |
