Come Along
Kevin McCarter
About this work:
Come Along begins with the four instruments playing short figures that interact to create a buoyant composite texture. After the initial exploration of this idea, it yields to a second idea characterized by lyrical phrases and sustained tones. Eventually, the lyrical phrases gain momentum and lead to a variant of the opening texture. The music develops through expanding on these two ideas, sometimes combining portions of them.
The recording is from a performance by the Euclid String Quartet at the 2019 Mostly Modern Festival. (For information about the festival, go to http://www.mostymodernfestival.org.)
