Description
Originally written as an octet, this version of Kaija Saariahos Neiges calls for twelve cellos. In the composer’s words, “When I considered the ensemble of eight cellos, I first thought of matt and dark textures. I also wanted to go back to some ideas on symmetry. While I was pondering all that, I saw snow flakes falling from the dark sky of the Finnish autumn. Focusing on the snow, the idea of writing variations on it and its various forms became clearer in my mind.”
