RAINBOW BRIDGE TO PARADISE starts at the very bottom note of the cello, in the deep, rich, elegant tones of the instrument and traverses (throughout four minutes and thirty seconds) to the very bright, clear, clean, optimistic top register of the instrument. The rainbow is one of humankind’s premier symbols, permeating our myths, art, and literature. Throughout history, the rainbow has been seen primarily as a symbol—of peace, covenant, divine sanction… and the rainbow's image is woven into the fabric of our past, present and future. This music’s vibrant, expressive and distinct “picture” is one of an ascent from earth to paradise across a colorful bridge.

Rainbow Bridge to Paradise is included in the project Cello Solos Today. Cello Solos Today was supported by New Music USA, through a generous contribution from Elizabeth and Justus Schlichting.
