Description
Gates, Philip: String Quartet in A minor
Ref
CM155
Category
Camden Music
By
Philip Gates
This beautiful quartet is in the English lyrical style and reminiscent of Howells, Moeran and Vaughan Williams. Inspired by the composer’s interest in Celtic poetry, it is primarily folk-based with modal and pentatonic writing to the fore. The intensely yearning, extended central Lento is bordered by the faster, more dance-like outer movements.
