Cello Sonata
By Christopher Healey
Regular price
$40.00
Cello and piano.
This four-movement cello sonata is an unabashed return to the days of long, lyrical melodies, idiomatic writing and nourishing harmonies. There is something about the cello’s rich, singing tone that draws from me long lines and tender harmonies. It is a work written for friends and full of life, heart and earnest conviction.

Violin and piano, c.5'30
The piece has a conversational tone, with melodies often moving backwards and forwards between the instruments. At other times, there are two distinctly different melodies happening simultaneously, but weaving together in an unexpected but satisfying way (yes, a somewhat transparent musical metaphor). Melodically, there is much transformation of some core musical material throughout, the dialogue between instruments suggesting an exchange of perspective on what a musical thought might mean.

Solaris - clarinet
By Christopher Healey
Regular price
$50.00
Clarinet and piano.
Written for soprano saxophone, it is also available for clarinet, flute and oboe.
This work is a study in contrasts, mixing sensual and romantic melodies one moment, with agitated and virtuosic writing the next.
The first movement introduces this ongoing conflict and drama, however, in the second movement, Andante, the lyrical wins out and the listener is treated to a tranquillity and simple melodiousness reminiscent of the second movement of the Ravel Piano Concerto in G Major. The drama then resumes in full force in the fourth movement, with sinister machine-like clusters from the piano, and agitated melodies from the Saxophone. Lyrical material from the first movement reappears, only to be overrun by the mechanistic churning of the piano. Like a hamster-wheel, running only turns the machine further, and it eventually becomes apparent that escape is futile.
