about

A declamation is an impassioned, performative mode of speaking. The word is also used in musical contexts to describe an expressive,
speech-like singing style, as in opera recitative. In this piece, the first half is quite free: affect, register, and texture change rapidly. The second half is motoric and structurally linear, as the cello climbs across and up the strings. When the cello reaches its upper register, the energy is briefly suspended before a swift drop back to the low register and an emphatic coda conclude the piece.

Sarah Wald is a Lecturer in Music at the Sacramento State School of
Music. She holds degrees from Columbia University (BA in music), the
San Francisco Conservatory of Music (MM in composition), and the
University of California, Davis (PhD in composition and theory).

Sarah’s music has been featured at festivals in the US and Europe and on WFMT’s Relevant Tones. Over he last several years, her pieces were selected from calls for scores for New Music on the Bayou (2016), Vox Musica (2017 and 2022), North/South Consonance (2018), and the Sewanee Summer Music Festival (2020). Sarah has also received a number of grants and commissions from organizations such as the Illinois Arts Council Agency, Chicago’s Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events, the Saint Xavier University Flute Choir, the University of Tennessee Martin’s Contemporary Music Group, Keyed Kontraptions,
and Access Contemporary Music.
