Burgundy in Autumn

for string quartet

I wrote Burgundy in Autumn with the fall season in mind, and my intention was to evoke feelings of warmth. I focused on bringing out the most in each instrument to create a cohesive sound across the ensemble. The piece carries a nostalgic quality and embraces a tonal style harmonically. The melody is shared by all members of the ensemble, and the compound time signature combined with the ascending and descending gestures takes the listener on a journey as if on a boat rocking back and forth gently. It has been performed by Friction Quartet, and Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, and other string quartet groups.
