Paranymphus Adiens is the perfect work for choirs seeking to augment their performances with a solo cellist. Hatzis arranged the treble voice parts of a medieval plainsong chant and enhanced it with an original cello part. The virtuosic cello part complements the voices with melismatic lines, pitch bends and ornamentations. The beauty of this work is the unique blend of new and old music, which makes it a perfect fit for any choir programme.
