Score and parts for Saariaho's Cendres arranged for Alto Flute Cello and Piano.Quoting Saariaho: While writing Cendres I was mainly concentrating on the interpretation of particular musical ideas by the threedifferent instruments of the trio each of which has its unique character and palette of colours. Musical tension is created and regulated by sometimes bringing the instruments as close together as possible in all ways (pitch rhythm dynamics articulation colour etc.) or at the other extreme letting each of them express the music in their most idiomatic fashion. Between these two extremes there is an unlimited number of possible ways to createmore or less homogenous musical situations. The consciousness of this variety was the rope on which I was balancing whilst working on the piece.Cendres was commissioned by the Gesellschaft fur Neue Musik Ruhr andKulturbüro der Stadt Essen for the Wolpe Trio. Duration 10 minutes.

Quatre Mouvements is a piece written by Marc Berthomieu for a Flute or a Cello with Piano accompaniment. Written for intermediate players this piece is divided into four distinct parts: 1. Larghetto – romantic 2. Scherzo – cheerful 3. Andante 4. Presto Quite romantic to start with the piece becomes cheerful in the second part and ends up on a fast section. It includes a coda some trills and will require some basics of breathing technique. Marc Berthomieu (1906-1991) was a French composer. He created one of the Conservatoire inParis'' “15th arrondissement” and has composed many small operas.

This diptych consists of two brief contrasting movements which however have a common focus on the amalgamation and fusion of tonal colour in the three instruments.The harmonic foundations of the first movement are provided by ring modulation spectrums although these are also based on equal-tempered tuning in semitones. In the manner of a deep intake of breath, life is breathed into the first movement through numerous clashes, contrasting registers and runs at lightning speed.The second movement has an unmistakable focus on tonal colouring and the concept of echo and reverberation complemented by simple acoustic effects, unfolding a substantially extended tonal spectrum in continuation of the first movement. / Flûte, Violoncelle Et Piano
