A Narrative Piece for Cello & Piano by Joanna Borrett
This book of ten short narrative-based movements for cello and piano tells the tale of an ancient indigenous Scottish clan. Through a rich and vibrant musical journey, players will experience a variety of sounds and emotions as they follow the clan's story. A unique and moving composition, this book will transport you to a world of ancient beauty and tradition.
Suitable for Grade 4-5 level players and above, it uses many easy specialist effects, such as specialist pizz, col legno, ponticello, tapping, and singing, to enhance the drama of the work.
With stunning original music and an engaging narrative, this cello and piano book is the perfect way to connect with the spirit of Scotland.
Clan has been well-received by critics, with the string orchestra recording of Clan chosen as Album of the Weekend by Scala Radio, and Video of the Day at Gramophone. The third movement was recently played on Jools Holland’s Radio 3 programme ‘Earlier’
“Ravishingly beautiful music” - Paul Carr, Composer“Joanna Borrett’s Clan is an authentic journey with warm melodies that makes you feel part of a story which is sometimes peaceful and sometimes projects intense emotions. A true work of art. " - Eduardo Cruz, end sessions.com
“The music plays out like a ballet suite, a wistful introduction leading to a pithy, catchy reel lasting barely a minute and a euphonious celebration of unity, 'Us'. Borrett’s language is tonal and accessible, the string writing alluding to a very English tradition. Think Holst or Warlock, in a good way.
Borrett’s concision is striking, with much incident packed into movements which rarely exceed three minutes; Clan lasts just over 19 minutes but feels much bigger. 'Betrayal' and “Armour and Battlefield” take us into impressively astringent territory, and a final 'Chant' has wordless vocals before a solemn, downbeat close.“ - Graham Rickson, The Arts Desk, March, 2024.
“Clan forges a strong connection between folk and classical music and the stories come to thrilling life with such passion, beauty and feeling.” - Simon Godley, God is in the TV, April, 2024.

When asked to review this new book of fourteen Celtic cello tunes by Joanna Borrett I suspected that the interests and needs of the beginner cellist would be in good hands.
The composer is a cellist and the writing sits well in the lower positions with plenty of opportunities to use different fingerings and positions for the more seasoned cellist.
There is also due consideration given to the expressive and playable piano writing for the teacher who, like myself, may not be an accomplished pianist.
Techniques are explored to expand the sound world from open strings and the lower positions. 'Rocking' is played entirely with natural harmonics in third position, 'Travelling by Wolf Light' asks for a speedy transition from first position to tapping the cello - in the interests of cellos not getting bashed I might have liked a bar to transition to this - 'Improvise' invites the cellist to play their very own theme in G major using Twinkle Twinkle Little Star as the base rhythm, a great opportunity to stimulate and encourage musical imagination.
Several of the tunes have characterful melodies that scamper around, excellent for keeping an even tone with all the string crossings, while needing to be super rhythmic. 'Revelry' is straight out of a ceilidh party and is suitably infectious. 'Lorn' (Andante lacrimoso) invites the musician to be expressive and to leave the confines of first position. 'Howl' and 'Valour', both have opportunities for the older player to explore their mature expressive side, and 'The Rebel' has dark, furious undertones introduced with wild pizzicato.
This is a valuable new compendium of Celtic melodies for Wild Cellists in any age group, easily sitting within Grades 2 to 4, supported with simple and interesting piano accompaniments for both teacher and parent to also enjoy.

Light in Our Darkness is a collection of chants and psalms. All the music is underpinned by prayers of gratitude, of praise, of repentance and reconciliation. Margaret Rizza composes hauntingly beautiful melodies and is now recognised around the world as an icon of all that is holy and best in Christian composition. Her music is wonderfully melodic, often with simple, repetitive melodies carrying short, usually scriptural texts.ContentsIn God aloneYour word is a lampO give thanks to the LordThe Lord is my light and my salvationO Domine, O ChristeA Celtic BlessingChant for instrumentsBless the Lord my soulO Lord listen to my prayerVeni Sancte SpiritusI will bless the Lord
