Product Description
This string quartet movement is the first of three which can be played separately or as a set. The others are titled Breathing and Drama, also available here. Moving Between requires a modicum of theatrical movement / gestures by the players.
Composed in 2010, Moving Between has its origins in the abstract thinking which
characterized some of my earlier pieces such as Diasynthèse for piano or Chromatalea
for small ensemble. A fuller title may have been Moving Between Extremes, as it
deals with the contrast between monody (unaccompanied melody) and the
simultaneous sounding of different pitches (harmony).
Transforming one of these extreme types of texture into
the other is achieved in a number of ways.
There are areas where such a transformation is taking place; however,
quite often a texture arrived at remains the same for some time. The piece has the potential to evolve further
along its own free-wheeling path.
