Open Air - Cello Solo - Sheet Music
Original Composition for Cello Solo by Michael Linert
"Open Air" was composed specifically for my recital program entitled "Veiled" - a musical-dramatic recital exploring mystery and uncertainty. Through this piece the harmonic and melodic elements are exposed at different times to varying degrees, and expectations of what will be heard are set and then bent. Musically, the piece references the Gigue from Suite No.1 by J.S. Bach, "Flow My Tears" by John Dowland, and also the idea of being on the open sea as if on a pirate ship. The question, "What is freedom?" was central to my writing of this piece, though the overall character should be quite carefree and jovial rather than pensive.
