Programme Note

Whispering Spaces II translates the earlier trio’s attention to breath, resonance and incidental performance sound into the homogeneous but highly differentiated body of the string quartet.

Scored for string quartet, the work brings string quartet, whispering spaces and resonance into a concentrated musical relationship. The premiere context is documented as Quatuor Tana, Opus 4, Antwerp, Belgium.
