Publisher Desc.  Originally a duet exclusively for cello and bass, this newly reimagined version of New Birth includes a fully orchestrated accompaniment for strings. Commissioned by the duo "Low and Lower" and dedicated to the celebration of the composer's first-born child, this original composition is filled with beautiful harmonies and soaring melodies, sure to render an emotional response by any audience. While the solo cello and string bass are of a more advanced difficulty, the string orchestra parts are accessible to less experienced orchestras.
