This quartet was written very quickly and is the first piece I wrote after moving to Florida. While I love the eternal summer in Miami, there is something quite special about the quiet winter in the north, where I had just moved from. The quartet echoes some of the ideas of some of the music I wrote while living in New England, but it has all been transfixed, as if we are seeing it from the 4th dimension. The work builds to a bright and colorful climax, before quietly receding, back into the cold harsh winter.
