Ballad for Cello and Piano Reduction

Composer: Aaron Jay Kernis
Instrument: Cello;Piano
Publisher: Associated Music Publishers, Inc.
Description:
Originally scored for eight cellos, this eight-minute work is dedicated to the memory of the composer's parents. In his words: the piece reflects their fondness for lyrical music, and is lightly colored by the influence of jazz harmonies touched on beneath the cello's arching, elegiac lines.
