This is the abridged version of Dancing Lines. This piece was written for cellist Patricia Burton. This was written with her collaboration at Ball State University in January and February 2022. I extend my gratitude towards her expert opinion as she helped me perfect the difficulty and create a piece designed specifically for cello.

Program Note: Dancing Lines is about conveying a dance-like pulse through groupings of
two and three eighth-notes. The idea was to create this pulse that goes throughout the whole piece, never dying out or slowing down. There are moments where the intensity will deescalate, but the pulses will remain in the same tempo. The middle section takes the melody presented at the beginning and scrambles it up, using it to create harmony from combining the different lines, or turning the line on its side. This is what inspired the name: Dancing Lines
