SKU: HL.48023972
Version for Cello Octet. Composed by Steve Reich. Boosey & Hawkes Scores/Books. Classical, Contemporary. Softcover. 72 pages. Duration 690 seconds. Boosey & Hawkes #M051214334. Published by Boosey & Hawkes (HL.48023972).
ISBN 9781495083433. UPC: 888680659288. 6.75x10.5x0.214 inches.
Cello Counterpoint (2003) is scored for eight cellos, and can be played by a soloist with the other parts pre-recorded. This tape is available from the Boosey & Hawkes rental library. Alternately, the piece can be played by a Cello Octet. (There are differences in distribution of parts between the two versions.) The piece is in three movements: fast, slow, fast. The first and last movements are both based on a similar four-chord cycle that moves ambiguously back and forth between C minor and E-flat major. This harmonic cycle is treated extremely freely however, particularly in the third movement. The second, slow movement, is a canon in E-flat minor involving, near the end of the movement, seven separate voices. The piece is a little more than 11 minutes in duration, and was co-commissioned by the Koussevitzky Foundation in the Library of Congress, the Royal Conservatory in The Hague and Leiden University, for cellist Maya Beiser.
