For violin, viola, cello, and guitar. In the first
movement, Voices of an Ancient Land, unique and delicate sonorities merge. Individual lines of counterpoint are
layered for an impressionistic effect. Movement 2, Perfect Passage, contains two different sections with their
own themes always audible as variations of counterpoint. The harmonic vocabulary is contemporary jazz in some
sections. Harmonic clusters with all instruments sustaining harmonies is used in this reflective movement.
Zaragato, third movement, means king cat of the night dance. The combinations of harmonics, sul ponticello, and
foot tapping with rich orchestral color make this an impressive finish.
