short quartets - Score and Parts PDF
short quartets (Movement 1) was written especially for the St.Petersburg Quartet readings while they were in residence at the University of Michigan in 2005. The latter movements were written thirteen years later as an expansion to the original stand-alone movement for Quartet Metadata. Movement 2 is a take on jazz, with a walking bass parody. Movement 3 is dedicated to Matt Marks, who will be remembered for his dedication to new music and his fearless, singular musical expression. Movement 4 is a picture of the frenzy of stock trading right at the opening of the markets. It begins with much excitement and volatility and usually ends with sadness, regret and boredom.
