Muzak For Four Cellos is a set of five short individual movements written for cello quartet. They can be performed as a set or individually. The parts are written so that the first cello is the most challenging and the fourth cello part is the easiest, however all parts share equally important melodic, rhythmic, and expressive roles. The music though modern, has it’s roots in tonality. The five movements explore various textures, colours, and compositional techniques that are fun, challenging, and exciting to play. All movements are available for listening on Soundcloud.
