Cello Journey

Sorry that it has been a while since a new episode has come out. We actually recorded the Tarantella by William Henry Squire a few weeks ago. It turned out great. Unfortunately the episode will not be released right now. I discovered some copyright issues that I need to resolve first. I make it a point to stay within copyright rules on Cello Journey. Hopefully, I will be able to release this episode some time in the future.

We are cooking up another episode with a really good surprise piece. It will be out towards the end of April. Please stay tuned and thanks for being patient.

So far on Cello Journey I stick to posting news and episodes on the main page. I thought of having a separate Blog tab (up at the top) where I will post more regularly. Sometimes a few weeks goes by between episodes and I would like to communicate better with everyone.

A new episode is in the works. It the Tarantella by Squire. We will try to record it next week. I used to play this piece quite a bit when I was first starting the cello. It has great melodies, double-stops, and a good overall feel. It is very rewarding to play when you are learning the cello because it sounds so good.

In this episode we play the cello concerto in C Major by Joseph Haydn. We decided to play it with organ since it sounds more like an orchestra and it makes a nice match. We are playing in a wonderful church called Mountainview United Church. We hope you enjoy it.

I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season and a happy New Year! I hope you get to spend time with family and have a bit of a break. May all your wishes come true. See you in January.
