Written as a 60th wedding anniversary gift for friends of the composer, the three movements of Eric Ewazen’s A CELEBRATION DUO portray the joy, reflection, and festivity of the occasion in an inviting and inventive dialogue for Cello and Double Bass. Enthusiastically embracing the idiom, the players’ parts are rich with resonant double-stops, broad, expressive ranges, and characteristic string instrument colors. Whether for the recital hall or your own at-home fête, A CELEBRATION DUO is a piece low string players will not want to miss!
