Description
Martin discusses his childhood fascination with composition, and eventual discovery of counterpoint, fugues, and canons. He was brought up short, upon learning that such composition was so out of favor at 1970-era Peabody. Even so, he created his third quartet, Canons, from his journals of those previous efforts. “These movements are titled Prelude, Episode I, Interlude, Aria, Episode II, and Meditation. There are canons, fugue-like pieces, and even some double canons. Other sections are strict in pitch but free in rhythm. One piece is imitative, but freely so.” For advanced performers. Dur.: 11’30”
