String Quartet #1, First Movement Completed
April 29th, 2011 by robmosher
Over the past week I’ve been hammering away at my first string quartet. While I’ve already composed several works for this instrumentation, I feel I’m now ready to create a traditional four-movement work. My quartet will be reading through the completed work (and other pieces of mine) in mid-June. Since I’ll be playing the second violin part on soprano sax I suppose it should be called a string trio with soprano sax, but I’m tightly integrating myself with the strings and in it’s essence it feels 100% string quartet to me. More updates coming, and I hope to premiere the ensemble within a year.
(ps – yes, my eraser is the Canadian flag. still not sure if i’m honoring or dishonoring my native country with that… but it sure is awesome!)
