Peter Thompson’s ’Cello Concertino was written between 2000 and 2001, and is in three linked movements which run continuously. The second movement references music Thompson wrote at Cambridge Arts College in the early 1970s, specifically the Two Sonnets for Small Orchestra, which were prefaced by words of James Joyce: “Welladay! Welladay! For the winds of May! Love is unhappy when love is away.” The Concertino is now available as both a full orchestral score and as a large-format Conductor Score. A piano reduction is also available for purchase. The solo ’cello part is included, and orchestral parts are available on request.
