THE WANDERING WOMBAT SOLO CELLO SUITE... OPUS 6
THE STORY BEHIND THE MUSIC :-)
Yes, this music definitely has a story attached to it:-) A little while ago, a FB friend....posted a picture of the most adorable creature I have seen in a long time.....a Wombat....I fell instantly in love with him...I researched them and found tons of photos and videos...they are wonderful creatures and are very loving.....they are rather large and very "hefty" but many photos are of people holding them and hugging them so they are very lovable...I, of course, would give a lot to be one of those people...since, I am not in Australia ...I can not adopt one so .....the closest I can come to experiencing this wonderful animal is to write music about him....I wrote this solo cello suite in tribute to this wonderful creature....the 3 short pieces are fun and very different. This might be the most unique cello suite ever done...I think I am safe in saying ...the only one with a Blues piece in it...which is all the more reason for me to have done it :-) All three pieces are played on my cello, Zadlo.. They gave me such joy to compose them and then to play them. These 3 pieces are what you hear in the audio story of....WALLY, THE WANDERING WOMBAT....
Please use your imagination along with your ears :-)...I hope you enjoy listening to these pieces.....
