Sonata for Cello and Piano
By Dulcie Holland
Regular price
$50.00
Cello and piano, c.16'00
The sonata is in three movements. Allegro begins with a dramatic piano broken chord while the cellist introduces the theme which is built on a strong rhythmical motive. The piano echoes this theme in octaves. This movement is antiphonal with both instruments alternating between introducing the thematic material and then supplying the answer.
The second movement marked Lento sounds like a plea for help created by repeated two note slurs over a semitone played firstly by the cello and then the piano.
The jolly and light-hearted third movement (Allegro) opens with a cheeky sequence played by the piano which, this time, is echoed by the cello. The character of this movement reflects Holland’s cheery and welcoming manner.
The sonata is technically challenging for both instruments and is a good example of a work for a duo rather than some of Holland’s other works which favour the instrument while the piano is given merely an accompaniment rather than an equal part to play.
Composed 1993
The volume includes a CD performed Minah Choe (cello) and Jeanell Carrigan (piano). Recorded on In Tribute (Wirr 105) available online

Sonata for Violin and Piano
By Dulcie Holland
Regular price
$50.00
Violin and piano, c.15'00
The sonata is in three movements. The first movement opens with a fanfare-type flourish played by the violin over a dominant pedal in the piano. The Edvard Grieg Sonata for Violin and Piano op. 13 in G major opens in a similar fashion and it is not known whether this sonata was a source of inspiration for Holland. The structure is not a straightforward sonata-allegro form instead it is built on several themes which reappear, closing with a coda.
The second movement is slow and in the style of a fantasy – free form. The third movement contains a jolly opening theme followed by a slower middle section. The opening theme returns to place the movement into a quasi-ternary form. It is a challenging work for both instruments and definitely an example of a duo work, both instruments playing an equal part.
Composed 1937

Sonatina for Viola and Piano
By Dulcie Holland
Regular price
$50.00
Viola and piano
The Sonatina is in three movements. The first is in a fairly traditional sonata form in the key of F major. The second is marked Andante and in the relative minor key, d minor, while the third begins in a very dance-like fashion. This opening is followed by a lyrical, flowing middle section and the ‘A’ section returns finishing on an A major chord. Bowing written into the score by Holland has been retained and Rosemary Curtin has generously contributed additional bowing after an intense perusal of the score.
Composed 1932
Hardcopy score includes CD.

Trio (1944)
By Dulcie Holland
Regular price
$120.00
For violin, violoncello and piano, c.15'00
The trio is in three movements opening with a very sombre and dark first movement, containing echoes of the Englishness of John Ireland, a sprightly scherzo, with a rapturous central theme, for a second movement and a lively third movement. There is a wonderful dialogue created between all three instruments in all the movements.
The work is not technically challenging but containing musical depth and a wide palette of various colour possibilities. Composed 1932
