Interview with NDV conductor Bernie Sherlock

A piece for solo cello written for Yseult in August 2013 and performed in her final year recital last year (although I think this is a recording from a rehearsal beforehand). The piece was written as a scabby birthday present.

Rhapsodic and brooding throughout, the piece culminates in a lament played with one finger (very) high on the G-string over a pedal C, marked 'allow to gradually disintegrate into grit'. This sounds easy but it's extremely difficult - and brilliantly done by Yseult. Let's convince her to play it again!

Nachtmusik (peformed by Yseult Cooper Stockdale)

Performed by Raymond Deane in the Kevin Barry Room, National Concert Hall, Dublin, January 29th 2015, as part of his featured concert of the AIC 'Irish Composers on Irish Music' series.

A last minute space became available in an Irish Composers Collective concert for solo harpsichord on 20/4/12 so I arranged and submitted this piece. It didn't take very much to alter the original composition to fit perfectly on harpsichord. David Adams performs excellently. Recorded by Dylan Rynhart.
