Product Description

The Eternal Reciprocity of Tears String Quartet No. 2
Shane Woodbornes String Quartet No. 2, composed in 2018, is inspired by the centenary of Armistice Day and the poignant war poetry of Wilfred Owen. Titled after the closing line of Owens poem Insensibility, the quartet serves as both a reflection on the horrors of World War I and a personal requiem for the composers great-grandfather, who died from injuries sustained in the war.

The quartets four movements draw from Owens poetry, portraying the emotional landscapes of war. Anchored in classical form yet integrating modern harmonic techniques, the work highlights the humanity conveyed in Owens "Poetry of Compassion." This composition serves as a musical tribute to the impact of war and the shared experience of grief.

The movements of this work correspond to Owen's poems as follows:

I. The Send-Off (04/1918)
II. Strange Meeting (11/1917)
III. The Next War (09/1917)
IV Insensibility (10/1917)
