New Book Cello Chords An Innovative Look At Cello Harmony
To Go on Sale Monday, August 22nd



Cellists Can Finally Live in Harmony



New York, NY - The cello is world renowned for its beautiful melodicism, but its role as a harmonic instrument has remained largely untapped. Until now.



Cello Chords, written by cellist, composer, comedian, and author Bryan Wilson, is the perfect reference for the modern cellist and the first book ever to cover 11 different chord types in all 12 keys on the cello. The book details everything from simple Major and Minor Chords, to Augmented Major 7ths and Half Diminished. Cello Chords, which goes on sale Monday, August 22nd, can be purchased online by visiting www.bryanwilsoncello.com/cello-chords.



Cellists who are looking for a fresh way to play an A Minor 7th will find 28 unique variations on that one chord. With intuitive categorization and suggested fingerings for every chord, Cello Chords makes finding new harmonic possibilities on the cello easy.



"This highly informative and comprehensive study of Cello Chords will be a great asset to any cellist regardless of their level and genre. This type of book has been long overdue and will be a great resource of information for all cellists," said Tómas Ulrich, New York jazz cellist-composer and leader of Tómas Ulrich’s Cargo Cult.



The cello continues to increase in popularity in a growing number of musical styles. Cello Chords provides the quintessential harmonic reference for cellists interested in all genres of music from rock, pop, and classical, to jazz and improvisation. Composers looking to expand the cello repertoire will also find this a handy reference.



“Cello Chords is a unique resource with the depth to inspire a wealth of new compositions for the cello that capitalize on the instrument’s rich harmonic capabilities. Cellists and composers alike will find something new and exciting in this book,” said world-renowned cellist and California Institute of the Arts professor Erika Duke-Kirkpatrick.



For those interested in harmony on the cello, look no further than Cello Chords.
