Œ​.​3 No​.​2 Violet's Quartet

about

The 'Violets Quartet,' a sombre and melancholic composition, draws upon the haunting madrigals of Gesualdo and the heterophonic singing traditions of the British Isles. The effect of the synthesis between these two styles is a kind of crippled symmetry where organic, expressive and instinctive melody sits within a strict formalist structure. The works ending sees an symmetrical four part cannon ascend to the highest registers of the quartet, before a fragmentary choral offers final conciliation. It is the second piece from the 'Elwood Gymel Quartets,' a set of twin quartets that form the closing of the album 'Hic Leo Noster.'
