Programme Note
Cello Cycles, for Jan Vogler, is a quick set of variations for solo cello and orchestra. Each variation has its own orchestral obsessions and colours, whilst the soloist remains constant: a straight line moving through antagonising brass, interrupting percussion, and a near-constant halo of higher strings.
