A CELLO SOLILOQUY OPUS 5 No.1
One day, in some text I was reading, I read the word soliloquy. I love words and this one caught my attention as it feels good saying it. I starting thinking about its meaning....speaking while alone when no one is listening....I know that word is applied in plays but it could be just you ,meandering along a path, thinking and talking out loud....no one can hear your words or thoughts. One thing usually leads to another with me and I got this thought about my cello.....what soliloquy would Zadlo sing if he was alone ? Of course, this lead me to think about writing for A Cello Soliloquy. I imagined what voice my cello would use when alone...certainly, it would be his richest and warmest sounds. I have always thought a cello's sound was serious in tone and smooth but , not sad. So, my intent for this music was project a feeling serious contemplation but, and overall good feeling when listening. I hope your ears like it :-)
