String Quartet

Inspired by landmark works of the 20th century, this quartet for strings is a 25-minute, four-movement work for advanced players. The opening movement salutes the language of the Second Viennese School; the second movement pays homage to Bartok; the third movement is an Ivesian treatment of civil war tunes; and the finale draws its eclectic rhythms from those of funk. Duration: ca. 25 minutes.
