Summary Extended Description Audio Sample   CMP 1127 Solo for unaccompanied cello. Grade 6. Approx. duration: eight minutes. Set consists of a performance score. Composed in 2000 and premiered that year by Jessica Catron at the California Institute of the Arts, “Antifony,” for unaccompanied cello, confronts contradictory characteristics of expressivity, indiscernible forms of perception that are contrasted with clearly identifiable passages and different harmonies and colorful timbres. The work’s sonorities are organized along two levels, the first of which is more immediate and comprises the notes played by the cellist; the second consists of an elaboration of fluctuating resonances, like clusters in movement around the notes generated by the first level. To put it in a different way, after a performance in 2002 by Michal Schmidt, critic Cecelia Porter noted that Alba’s piece “transformed the sonic riches of a solo cello into a dialogue of many voices.” Mintcho Badev, cello.
