Pratt, Stephen: Entre Nous

Entre Nous, written for the outstanding Norwegian cellist Jonathan Aasgaard, is one of a proposed series of three related works, all featuring solo cello. The title reflects the sense of collaboration at the heart of the project, and is, in this first piece of the set, a starting point for the music itself. In effect, there are two “voices” in the piece, engaged in a dialogue, in which one gradually becomes more animated while a more lyrical and reflective voice attempts to keep things calm.
