String Quartet No. 3 (2004)

Part I (excerpt)

I. Allegro moderato (excerpt)

Part II (excerpt)

II. Frenetico (excerpt)

Part III (excerpt)

III. Largo desolato (excerpt)

St. Helens String Quartet

Stephen Bryant, violin; Adrianna Hulscher, violin

Michael Lieberman, viola

Paige Stockley, cello

In summer 2002 I moved from Milwaukee, Wisconsin to Seattle, Washington to pursue graduate studies. Leaving the state of my birth and the place that I had (until then) spent my entire life was of course a big deal, and perhaps this piece was a musical response to processing this major life change.

Although I explored, perhaps blatantly so, various feelings of conflict in this piece, the overarching feeling that emerges from this piece is a sense of farewell and uncertainty.
