Andrea Casarrubios - SEVEN for solo cello (2020)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- This work is one of three works from Songs of Isolation, a project aimed at illuminating important voices in this immensely challenging time across the globe. The three composers writing solo cello works for this project are Andrea Casarrubios, Stephanie Ann Boyd, and Carlos Simon.
SEVEN (2020) by Andrea Casarrubios is a tribute to the essential workers during the global COVID-19 pandemic, as well as to those who lost lives and are still suffering from the crisis. The piece ends with seven bell-like sounds, alluding to New York City’s daily 7PM tribute during the lockdown - the moment when New Yorkers clapped from their windows connecting with each other and expressing appreciation for those on the front lines.

my friend plays cello and says this is his favorite piece to play. as a healthcare worker who’s caught COVID 4 times since starting my career last year, this piece is beautiful. it means a lot.
i am currently assigned to sit with a psych patient. he’s incredibly funny, intelligent, and LOVES orchestra and music so i’m playing it for him now. i’m not so good with music so he’s explaining the emotions he feels for each part so i can understand. :)
This is one of the most gorgeous pieces I have ever heard for cello. Ever.
I was fortunate enough to hear Tommy perform this tonight with the composer present… it brought us all to tears - his gorgeous embodiment of this piece, music of shared pain and isolation during the deepest part of the Covid crisis. Appropriately, Tommy book-ended the piece with perfect meditative silence.
i saw a lady play this on tiktok and searched it on spotify in hopes to add it to a playlist but got here instead! this is so beautifully expressive and i think it really does capture the feeling of the time this was composed
it really is so emotional i cried a bit
Just saw and heard this piece performed live by these incedible artists and we are speechless and hope this muisc reaches a very wide audience. We feel privileged to have been there tonight at the Emerald City Music concert!
I just heard him perform this live tonight. Such an amazing piece played by an amazing musician

Thomas, I had the good fortune to hear you perform this live yesterday at the Ordway in Saint Paul. It was a revelation, and I was deeply moved. Your playing was so captivating that I could have listened to you all afternoon!
This is an absolutely stunning piece and played incredibly well. I was able to hear it last night in person in Madison Wisconsin. I want to thank you. This music so incredibly resonates with the existential grief related to this pandemic that we have not even begun to deal with.
Incredibly moving piece for cello. Gripping, dynamic, touching. It is a song in tune with its theme and the times we are living. Pretty rendition of it.
Such a beautiful versatile melody.
Props to you Andrea.
