SE0093-01 Nossek, C. - A Fiddler in the Desert PREVIEW by T.U.X. People's Music

A FIDDLER IN THE DESERT STRING QUARTET

INSTRUMENTATION:

Violin I

Violin II

Viola

Cello

ABOUT:

Adapted from the second movement of Colin Nossek's wind quintet Dream States, A Fiddler in the Desert expresses the composer's love of bluegrass music at full force, with its fiddle-like material and its continuous variations of motives.

FROM THE COMPOSER:

Adapted from the second movement of my wind quintet Dream States, A Fiddler in the Desert pays homage to the musical genre closest to my heart - bluegrass. This energetic work imitates a fiddle tune, chopped up and put through a blender. It is a continuous variation of several motives, one of which is a brief quote from a fiddle tune composed by my dear friend Rebekah Rolland called Lion and the Fawn.

DURATION: 4'02"
