Michael Berkeley At a Solemn Wake, Score and part for Cello & piano. Commissioned for the Ryedale Festival (where it received its world premiere in 2015), At a Solemn Wake is a virtuosic single movement piece for cello and piano. It moves through a series of moods, from mysterious and atmospheric to turbulent and agitated, and takes full advantage of the range of timbral, rhythmic, and textural possibilities allowed by this combination of instruments.
