The Dabbling Duck for Two Cellos

The Dabbling Duck for Two Cellos

$18.00

THE DABBLING DUCK (7.5′) was commissioned by Roger Wiesmeyer, English hornist with the Nashville Symphony Orchestra. It was written in April of 2020 during the coronavirus pandemic. A rhapsody or whimsical piece was initially discussed, but a week later, what burst out was a piece of rollicking fun. When Markovich approached Wiesmeyer with the change, his response was: “The world could use that right about now!” The world premiere was April 13, 2021 on the Arkansas Symphony (ASO) River Rhapsodies Series V.

(You may make one copy for the other half of the duo if need be.)

“I could hear this as a cello duet 🙂 although I’m tempted to just learn the English Horn!” Professional cellist, Philadelphia

“The end made me laugh out loud!” Susan Leon, ASO principal bassoon

“I SO enjoyed hearing Beth and Jacob play your music. I loved the contrast between the movements and the way the instruments blended together. A great combo, and the music was very charming :)” Violinist Geoffrey Robson, Artistic Director of ASO
