String Quartet #2 "Five Portraits"
Maurice Saylor
About this work:
This quartet is comprised of five portraits of composers who have influenced me personally and musically. I remain in their debt not only for their friendship but also for the short quotation I have borrowed from each in order to give the portraits a stronger likeness to the dedicatee.
The recording is of the premiere, June 19, 1997, performed by the Sunrise Quartet.
This work received a performance award at the Delius Festival.
