Cello Duet Cello - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1077132 Composed by Andrew Maurer. 20th Century,Romantic Period. Score. 17 pages. Andrew Maurer #681289. Published by Andrew Maurer (A0.1077132). Poème Op. 3 for Cello & Piano is a new composition premiered in June 2022. The composer’s creative process was to collect self-improvised fragments from several compositional periods and assemble these into a unified setting. The result relies less on traditional classical forms, with thematic elements repeating and transforming while exploring key relationships. The work relies on Romantic idioms with the style imitating Rachmaninoff’s chromaticism, with hints of Debussy and Tchaikovsky. It quotes the famous Dies irae, translated “Day of Wrath,� theme often used by the composers Rachmaninoff, Liszt, and Berlioz. You will also hear the beginning of the nursery rhyme Frère Jacques theme as well, similarly quoted in Mahler’s First Symphony, which creates an unusual juxtaposition.
