Five Easy Pieces (for String Quartet)

By Michael Hannan

Regular price $30.00 Sale

String Quartet, Grades 3/4, also for more advanced students.

These short works are targeting stringed instrument players who are a couple of years into their studies as performers, and find themselves in a music instruction environment where students are encouraged to form and play in ensembles. The word "easy" is used in the sense that the melodic lines are not difficult intervallically or rhythmically and there are no daunting techniques employed such as harmonics and double stops.
Composed 2022

Four Suits of Thirteen

By Vincent Giles

Regular price $50.00 Sale

Chamber quartet for flute, clarinet, violin and cello, c.7'00-9'00 

This piece is designed around processes of indeterminacy using cards as the basis for pitch material, each card from A through to Queen represents a different pitch based on a set theory (C=0, C#=1 and so on) while the King represents a wild card. Each movement is quite short and represents a different characteristic of a suit of cards - clubs, diamonds, spades and hearts. Composed 2011

This piece was written for Allan Von Schenkel's instrument, the Solo Bass, tuned one fourth higher than the orchestra bass.
