String Quartet No. 1

About the Work

Winner of the Wayne Brewster Barlow Prize at the Eastman School of Music. Recorded commercially by the Invoke String Quartet on their Golden Hornet release. The piece focuses on the alternation between tension and release. The tension is created by conflicting melodies between each instrument and irregular rhythms. Towards the middle of the piece, there is a fugue section. It begins with Violin I and it creates a dream-like mood that contrasts with the first intense rhythmic part. It is such an intense and energetic piece that will bring you into the piece and travel through time.
