Distant Strophes for String Quartet is dedicated to the American Cellist Stephen Evans. The work is written in five movements and is based on a series of poetic images.

The first movement, "Remembering the Sounding Bells...", uses bell-like sonorities and tonal fragments whichare developed between the four instruments of the quartet The second movement "Interrupted Ricacares" beginswith a compact, accelerating atonal motif which alternates with contrapuntal passages which evoke motet and ricacare forms.

"En Croisant le Diable Boîteux" ("Upon meeting the limping Devil") takes its inspiration from the novel by Lesage. This movement is a lively bi-tonal scherzo in classical ABA form which exploits off-the-string bowings and doublestops. The fourth movement, " ...L'inflexion des voix chères qui se sont tues" ("the sounding of dear voices which have been silence") is a line from Paul Verlaines : Mon rêve familier (Poèmes saturniens/ melancholia VI 1866). A slowly unfolding dirge-like theme is passed through the four instruments in an expressive lament. The final movement, "Appels et invocations", is inspired by a strophe in Charles Baudelaires le Serpent qui Danse in Les Fleurs du Mal which speaks of preparing for a voyage, real or
imagined, which is expressed here in the angular, robust theme in unison which opens the work.
