After Bach
By Dominic McGonigal, arranged by Dominic McGonigal
For Cello solo (2023), 2'40" mins.
Instruments: Cello
Inspired by Bach, specifically the Prelude of the first Cello Suite, After Bach exploits the sonorities of the cello with the melody intertwined in chordal figuration. It is mostly in the bright Lydian mode, moving through different modalities and moods. Before the final cadence, there is a more contemplative reprise of the main theme, leaving the listener with a good feeling. It was written for Pablo Tejedor-Gutierrez, who has a beautiful tone on his baroque cello and of course loves Bach. 3'40". More at www.dominicmcgonigal.com
