Flow, Riffs, and Running Bass (2025)

Orchestration: Vlc Solo—2.2.2.Bcl.2—2.2.2.1—Timp.2 Perc—Hp—Pf—Str
Duration: 11 minutes

This 11-minute concertino for cello and orchestra was composed for Gabriel Cabezas and commissioned by the Northwestern University Bienen School of Music, Concert Artists Guild, Sphinx, and the American Composers Orchestra. The piece draws on rhythms, sonorities, and grooves from Black diasporic and Latin musical traditions, moving through a vibrant landscape of atmosphere, color, and kinetic energy. The cello shifts between lyrical passages and near-improvisatory riffs, while the orchestra responds with a driving, high-octane interplay.
