Cerrone, Christopher
DF A Body, Moving, 2021
DIGITAL ID: PACR_MUS_2021_087
Cerrone wrote the concerto A Body, Moving to be a celebration of the movement of air throughout the room in contrast with a time when COVID-19 has made people acutely aware of air's flow and ability to spread illness. This work was commissioned by the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and premiered April 2021.
Score for orchestra; audio
DF Don't Look Down, 2020
DIGITAL ID: PACR_MUS_2021_087
Cerrone described Don't Look Down as an accidental musical diary of living through the pandemic. The first movement recalls the relentless energy prior to the pandemic; the second movement stops the energy and provides an uncertain and static soundscape; the third movement chronicles a construction project and a nostalgia for what would normally drive a person crazy. This piece was commissioned by Elizabeth and Justus Schlichting for Conor Hanick and Sandbox Percussion.
Score for prepared piano and percussion quartet; audio
Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra: The Fanfare Project, 2020-2021
During an earlier era of global disruption, the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra launched its first Fanfare Project, commissioning and premiering 18 fanfares in support of the Allied troops in World War II. Building on that legacy, the CSO commissioned new music from a diverse range of composers to inspire and uplift in the face of the challenges of the pandemic and an uncertain future.

DF Quarantine Madrigals, 2020
DIGITAL ID: PACR_MUS_2021_139
Written by composer Reena Esmail and lyricist Amy Fogerson, Quarantine Madrigals is a set of short, two-minute madrigals inspired by isolation of choral singers during the pandemic. The work is designed to be sung by a single vocalist of any voice type recording the parts over themselves. It was commissioned by the choral ensemble Conspirare and exists in two versions: one vocalist or choir. One-hundred percent of the revenue from score purchases through May 2021 were donated to the CDC's Crush Covid Campaign.
