Cello Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.869211 Composed by Thomas Oboe Lee. 20th Century,Contemporary,Jazz,Latin,Romantic Period. Individual part. With Sambinha bachiana ... III. 36 pages. Thomas Oboe Lee #30911. Published by Thomas Oboe Lee (A0.869211). Program note: Canções e Sambinhas is the third of a triptych of compositions written for my friend, the enormously gifted cellist, Andrés Díaz. The first was Eurydice, a tone poem on the Orpheus myth for cello and orchestra, and the second was La Chimera Fantastica for the Díaz Trio. Canções e Sambinhas is in four movements. I. Canção de amor ... II. Sambinha bachiana ... III. Valsa lenta ... IV. Mais uma vêz ... Having lived in Brazil during my teen-age years, I inevitably continue to return to the wonderful music of that country for inspiration: the chôros of Ernesto Nazareth, Jacob do Bandolim, Pixinginha, and Heitor Villa-Lobos. The first movement begins with a slow, dark introduction before the love song emerges .... The second movement is a lively samba. As the title indicates, it is a little samba infused with Bach-like counterpoint, although a bit crazier. Villa-Lobos might find this amusing .... The third movement is a slow meditation for the cello on a passacaglia-like theme in the piano. The last movement, Mais uma vêz (meaning One Mo' Time in English), is a samba like the second movement, but it is set more homophonically, more dance-like in character .... The work is dedicated to my wife, Kris, who is an inspiration to my life and work.Audio link.   Copy and paste the URL link into your browser.https://thomasoboelee.bandcamp.com/album/can-es-e-sambinhas-1996-for-cello-and-pianoVideo link: https://youtu.be/X2gFRiypqTA

Cello Solo - Digital Download SKU: A0.869580 Composed by Thomas Oboe Lee. Contemporary. Individual part. 15 pages. Thomas Oboe Lee #3583395. Published by Thomas Oboe Lee (A0.869580). The inspiration for my Missa Pro Defunctis (2018) was Fauré's Requiem in which he ignored the fire and brimstone text of the Dies irae and Tuba mirum in the Sequence of the Requiem Mass.  And consequently he created a work that is peaceful, tranquil and uplifting.  I'd like to think of death in that way.So, I proceeded by taking the exact text that Fauré used in his work, and instead of a large chorus and full orchestra I decided to do a chamber version.  It is scored for SATB (single voices), flute, clarinet, string  quartet, double bass and harp.The movements, as in the Fauré, are:1. Introit and Requiem2. Offertory3. Santus 4. Pie Jesu5. Agnus Dei6. Libera me7. In paradisumThe entire work has a duration of ca. 27 minutes.Missa Pro Defunctis (2018) is dedicated to the residents in the Protestant Cemetery in Rome.

Cello Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.869656 Composed by Thomas Oboe Lee. Contemporary. Individual part. 14 pages. Thomas Oboe Lee #5888339. Published by Thomas Oboe Lee (A0.869656). There is a lot of time to compose when you are stuck at home during the Pandemic of 2020. This is the fifth work I completed under lockdown.: Trio 803 was completed on April 7, 2020 Kindertodtotenlieder was completed on May 13, 2020 Préludes … Hommage à C.D. was completed on June 5, 2020 Chansons de Maeterlinck was completed on June 20, 2020 I have always been a huge fan of the Mendelssohn Octet for double string quartet.  In my search of octets on YouTube I noticed that there were a number of octets that used a double bass instead of a second cello.  I thought that configuration would suit what I had in mind for my octet. Octet for Strings is in five movements. I. AdagioII. Allegro  III. Adagio IV. Allegro TRIO V. Andantino Total duration, ca. 22 minutes. Enjoy!!!
