Four Sharks
Dennis Bathory-Kitsz
About this work: The four movements of this chamber work, written for the Craftsbury Chamber Players, are each cast in a quasi-minimalist style, major/minor tonality, and familiar harmonic territory. Together they form a miniature symphony of colors and textures, ending in the last, quiet shark that fades into harmonic purity.
