The Waiting Game : for string quartet / Clare Strong.
Library shelf no. 785.714/STR 4 [Available for loan]
Work Overview
The Waiting Game is a minimalist piece with the quartet working to create a web of sound. It starts out with an accented one-note motif which then transfers throughout the quartet until they form a unit slightly out of sync. The texture then becomes a bigger web with all different moving parts, eventually forming wave-like motions. The reprise of the one-note motif then expands to interchanging accents and another web of sound is created. This piece explores the colours of different cluster chords and creating intensity through texture and dynamics.
