A Recording Project Featuring an Unaccompanied Solo Cello Work by Eun-Chul Oh
Description
The purpose of this research project is to expand the unaccompanied cello solo repertoire. This composition, Traveler for Solo Cello, was commissioned to South Korean Composer, Eun-Chul Oh by the author in April of 2020. This research project includes a recording of the work to highlight Eun-Chul Oh’s musical creativity. Traveler for Solo Cello is structured in four movements: The Gyeongbokgung Palace, Night Gypsy, A Fiddler in Ireland, and Tango Bar. The four movements each present the musical elements of different cultures while exploring extended musical techniques and rhythms. Eun-Chul Oh uses the cello as a means of transport, for the audience, on a journey through different cultures’ traditional music styles and sounds.
This document includes a brief historical background, compositional analysis, and performance recommendations for each movement. The original score of the piece is included at the end of the paper. In addition, there is a recording of the work.
