The 'McEwen Quartet' John Blackwood McEwen No 4 Mvmt 4 (arranged for Wind Quintet by Emma Arandjelovic)

'The McEwen Quartet'

John Blackwood McEwen’s String Quartet No. 4 in C minor, movt. 4 (1905)

Arranged by Emma Arandjelovic for wind quintet (fl/ob/cl/bcl/bn). Duration: 5' 50''

Born in Hawick, Sir John Blackwood McEwen graduated from the University of Glasgow and went on to become a Professor at the Royal Academy of Music. Writing in a late Romantic style, McEwen was a prolific composer but rarely sought public performances of his works. A Scottish idiom can be heard in much of his music, and his fourth string quartet, arranged here for wind quintet, is particularly evocative of traditional Scottish music, featuring a characteristic ‘Scotch snap’ rhythm.
