"SIGOL" FOR TWO, Fantasy Duo for Violin and Cello
Brian Fennelly
About this work:
'Sigol' for Two is a fantasy for violin and cello written in 2008 for the Parnas Duo. It is the fifth work based on materials first heard in Sigol Musings (2004) written for violinist Rolf Schulte and dedicated to the composer's granddaughter Sigol Sara Fennelly. The 'Sigol' theme itself can be seen as an imagined portrait of the child, beginning rhapsodically and concluding with a little dance. 'Sigol' for Two is in seven contiguous parts that can be regarded as variations; the 'Sigol' theme, a scherzando, a nervous fantasy, a paraphrase of the tune, a quixotic drama, a lullaby, and a muted reprise of the scherzando.
