String Quartet No. 1 (2016) - in press at Masters Music
Program Notes: Music historian and IUP colleague, Irving Godt, once said to me: “You are not a real composer until you’ve written a string quartet!” With the establishing of the Litton Quartet at IUP, I began work on this four-movement work in 2008. The movements are quite contrasting with the Excursion movement being the most serious and dedicated to my faculty colleague, Irvin Kauffman; the Lament dedicated to the memory of Irving Godt and influenced by the early symphonies of David Diamond; the Calypso reflecting minimalism and having a “Bolero” feel; the Introduction and Dance which opens with another “nod” to David Diamond and adds quoting material from the first movement.
