In addition to Bryars' many vocal laude there are a growing number of connected instrumental works. Tre Laude Dolçe for solo cello is the second of these to be released as a Schott Edition publication and follows Bryars' Lauda (con sordino) originally for cello and piano. Based on the same principals as the composer's vocal laude and as always, attempting to retain the purity and austerity of the original form, Tre Laude Dolçe is characterised by long phrases and open structures, a beautiful work perfect for any good cellist.
