About this piece
A set of three rhapsodies for solo cello and string orchestra, composed in 2009–10 and revised in 2013, about 13 minutes long. The movements are titled 'revisiting variazioni elegiaci . . . within the fabric of caressing air', 'echoing fields . . . spreading light' and 'brightness dispersed'; the first title refers back to Mumford's early solo piece variazioni elegiaci. Tanya Ell premiered the first two movements on May 1, 2010, at Lorain County Community College's Stocker Arts Center, and Julia Bruskin gave the revised version of those movements at the National Gallery of Art in 2013 with members of the National Gallery Orchestra under Peter Wilson. Bruskin and Wilson later recorded the first two movements for Albany Records.
