About this piece
Galwad y Mynydd ('Call of the Mountain') is a seven-minute scene for electric cello and piano by the London cellist-composer Jo-anne Cox, who describes her music as embodying 'the sensitivity of my Neurodivergence'. In her note the cello calls out from the foot of a Welsh mountain, past a waterfall, before a dark warning call announces the witch Gwyllion; in the storm that follows, her cries, voiced by the cello, seep through the rumbling piano, and when she vanishes she leaves an eerie calm. Cox and the pianist Siwan Rhys premiered it at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama in November 2023 and recorded it for NMC's Letting the Light In, the first commercial album of music by disabled composers working in the UK.
