By Justin Michael Mckay
Regular price
$85.00
String Quartet No. 1 is a post-modern work in five movements, c.22'00
The opening movement is playful and dance-like, with some surprising harmonic shifts. The lyrical second movement, Coiffure, is the original version of what became Coiffure -Serenade for Chamber Orchestra in 2013. The third movement, the emotional heart of the piece, is an hymn in the Phrygian mode, with overtones of minimalism. The fourth movement, a quirky but elegant waltz, provides a lighthearted respite before the concluding movement, a prelude and fugue. Overall, the work maintains a link to the German and Viennese chamber music tradition, with a modern twist. Composed 2011 and 2013.
