ROCKBUSTER

for Cello and Piano 1981

David Hellewell

This was the first of the duo instrumentals, and is a sort of ‘mini’ - Rock Sonata of 6 minutes duration. It is a powerful, virtuoso work for the cello (and may be played by two cellists). There are 12 interconnected sections, the titles of which indicate the variety and idioms in the work eg: Rock Blues; Gentle Interlude; Grandioso; Heavy Funk; Country Rock and others.
