Quartet No. 6
Matthew Whiteside
Description
Instrumentation Genre Ensemble (no conductor)
Tag orchestra
Duration 12 minutes
Instrumentation Violin [2 players]; Viola [1 player]; Cello [1 player]
This piece was written while I was staying in an Air BnB in Tallinn, Estonia and begin life when I picked up a set of windchimes the owner had left lying around. The piece is an orchestration of those chimes and imagines a great hand jiggling the quartet to initiate each gesture. Recording released on Entangled on 25th October 2019 performed by the Aurea Quartet.
