Jane Stanley: Winter Song [download]

Composed for solo cello, 2015.

First performed by Robert Irvine at Loch Shiel Festival, April 2016.

Winter Song is a short piece embracing the lyrical, expressive qualities of the cello. It unfolds as a sustained melody, mostly in the instrument’s high register. This is contrasted by intermittent pizzicato tones and presentation of sombre low-register sonorities at the end.
