- Tyshawn Sorey
For Roscoe Mitchell (2020)
- C.F. Peters Corporation (World)
Like his subsequent "non-certo" For Marcos Balter – also composed during the upheavals, political and otherwise, of the year 2020 – Tyshawn Sorey's For Roscoe Mitchell for cello and orchestra is a single-movement work that imagines a non-adversarial, non-hierarchical relationship between the soloist and the ensemble. The 20-minute piece is named in admiration of Sorey's friend and collaborator Roscoe Mitchell, the Chicago-based bandleader, composer, educator, and performer. Cellist Seth Parker Woods gave the world premiere in November 2020 alongside conductor David Robertson and the Seattle Symphony, who commissioned the piece.
This full score is available for purchase as part of the Peters Contemporary Library, with solo and orchestral parts available on hire.
