Cadenza by Hendrik Hofmeyr・Anmari van der Westhuizen・Solo Cello Composition

・About The Composition・ The title Cadenza refers in the first instance to that part of a concerto where the soloist’s capacity for transmuting advanced technical demands into improvisatory freedom of expression is tested to the utmost. As in several concertos, the solo instrument is here treated almost like a one-man-orchestra, with various textures and timbres being played off against each other. Secondly, the title refers to the cadence that occurs at the end of the first phrase (b.12-13); the entire work may be seen as a free fantasy on this cadence. This work eventually served as the starting point for Hofmeyr’s Concerto for Cello and Orchestra. ・About The Composer・ Hendrik Hofmeyr, one of South Africa’s most performed composer of classical music, was born in Cape Town in 1957. His first major success as a composer came in 1988 with the performance at the State Theatre of ‘The Fall of the House of Usher,’ which won the South African Opera Competition and was also awarded the Nederburg Opera Prize. In the same year, Hofmeyr, who was furthering his studies in Italy during ten years of self-imposed exile as a conscientious objector, obtained first prize in an international competition in Trent with music for a short film by Wim Wenders. In 1992 he accepted a post as lecturer at the University of Stellenbosch, and in 1997 won two further international competitions, the prestigious Queen Elisabeth Competition of Belgium (with ‘Raptus’ for violin and orchestra) and the Dimitri Mitropoulos Competition in Athens (with ‘Byzantium’ for high voice and orchestra). Hofmeyr is currently professor and Head of Composition and Music Theory at the University of Cape Town, where he obtained his Doctorate in 1999. His ‘Incantesimo’ for flute was chosen to represent South Africa at the Congress of the International Society of Contemporary Music in Croatia in 2005, and in 2008 he was honoured with a Kanna Award by the Kleinkaroo National Arts Festival. He received the UCT Creative Arts Award for his Second Symphony – ‘The Elements’ in 2018. Hofmeyr’s oeuvre includes six operas, two ballets, two symphonies, thirteen concerti and numerous vocal and instrumental works, of which some 130 are commissions. ・Notes・ Requested by Bjorn Bantock Score Video by Liam Pitcher Uploaded with express permission from Hendrik Hofmeyr ・Website・ Visit my Website to discover more of my music, as well as the music of other living composers and musicians.
