String Quartet
Scored for violin, viola, cello and double bass and inspired by Alexandr Pushkin’s poem “Devils”, this work is made up of 5 movements and was completed in March 2016. Set in Russian winter, a coachman – with his master inside the carriage – drives a horse drawn carriage through blizzard conditions amid swirling howling snows, where heaven and night are blurred into one and evil spirits gather round the hapless stranded pair.
