Granular Dusk (Solo Cello)

Version For Solo Cello (2022)
Jonathan Nangle

Programme Note: Granular Dusk (2022)
During the winter season, when I wrote this piece, the sun is low on the horizon and on a nice day, the sunset puts on a particularly vivid display of colour. The sky is ablaze as it shifts through a spectrum of blue, violet, pink, orange, red, eventually settling on the darker hues and finally black as the sun dips below the skyline. So often, this scene has a granularity to it, like a photograph speckled with noise. My piece loosely seeks to express this image, a frame that remains the same while elements within shift in colour and granularity.
