Damselfly Prelude was commissioned by cellist Ka-Wai Yu for premiere at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas November 15, 2021. Written for the five-string baroque cello and fortepiano, I combined some of my favorite contrapuntal techniques employed by Bach with jazzy harmonies and a sultry melody that explores the full registral capabilities of this cello, and the various sonorous possibilities of the fortepiano.

A note from the performers about these instruments: "The five-string cello is a replica of the so-called violoncello piccolo that JS Bach seemed to have in mind when he composed his famous cello suites. The fortepiano is a copy of the one built in 1806 by Anton Walter, who built these instruments for Mozart and Beethoven."

Fun fact: The state insect of Nevada is the Vivid Dancer Damselfly.
