string quartet

written for the Frankland Quartet

workshopped by the Frankland Quartet in 2021 (Durham)

This piece is based on the poem of the same name by C.P. Cavafy. In the piece, the players must incant their notes in the rhythm of the words as they would be spoken.

Thank you to the Frankland Quartet for the workshop and recording.
