The toughest part about being a composer, I think, is finding people to perform, or even just play, your music. This string quartet that I am rehearsing with this month was kind enough to play the movement of the string quartet that I have been working on for the past several weeks. Josh even recorded it and will give a copy to me so I can listen to it without being distracted by playing the viola. I'll polish off this movement and start thinking about the next movement.My inspiration came from Gregorian Chant as well as African drumming rhythms....and the players even have to clap during a short section of the piece.
