String Quartet No. 8 - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

David Matthews’ string quartets comprise a remarkably rich collection of pieces that span over 50 years of composition. In his String Quartet No. 8, Matthews references the Welsh folksong Y Deryn Du (The Blackbird) in the lyrical first movement, before a jagged scherzo. This 18-minute work ends with a slow last movement in which imposing rhetorical outer sections frame a tranquil fugue.
