"Cloud Hands" is a solo cello piece written for Jennifer Langridge as part of Psappha Ensemble's Composing for Cello scheme in 2015/16.
Programme note:
‘Cloud Hands’ (or ‘Waving Hands Like Clouds’) is the name of a sequence of postures in Tai Chi, a Chinese martial art and meditative practice. I wrote this piece when I was returning to Tai Chi and mindfulness after a long break and wanted to use the versatility of the cello as a means of conveying the different feelings and experiences encountered whilst meditating.
