Songs for my Cello, by Črt Sojar Voglar

I am very happy to announce, that one of the leading Slovenian composers Črt Sojar Voglar has written wonderful little concert pieces for young cellists, entitled “Songs for my Cello”.

As a cello teacher I can say, that there has always been a lack of these kind of compositions and this contribution will certainly be a significant one.

Compositions come with live recordings and short preparatory exercises, so the young cellist can develop proper hearing perception and master the technical difficulties.

The Pieces were originally written for his daughter Eva, who is currently an aspiring young cellist herself.

Interesting Song Titles

Originally, the pieces were titled “Song for Eva no.1 etc.”, and after the authors consent, I added a bit more imaginative titles, so the young cellists could use their imagination and relate to the pieces on a more personal level.

Črt Sojar Voglar, composer

Črt Sojar Voglar

“Does nowadays each composer create music? No. Should he? Not necessarily. However, he should be attentive to the definition of the word “music” itself. It can by no means encompass all sounds that surround us. From the beginning of time to the present day music has featured three principal foundations without which it cannot exist: melody, rhythm and harmony. Whoever does not use of these elements, does not write music, although he is creating something – composing. How can we today make use of these very elements originally as possible, without falling into the trap of too exaggerated eclecticism or mere experimenting? (trans. Marina Horak)
The principal content of my music is a test of listener’s psychological understanding of sonic colours. In theoretical sense, my music is dissonant. However, it is accessible to most of the listeners. I favor short, condensed forms and try to create as much inner drama to give the listener intense musical experience.”
