Aubade
for string quartet
Aubade for string quartet was premiered on August 26, 2005 at Nagoya’s Fushimi Denki Bunka Kaikan Concert Hall at 10:45am.This piece was commissioned by Chie Morimoto as a program opener for a morning concert- hence the title. It is a short one-movement work. An aubade is traditionally a dialogue between two lovers in the early morning before they both must part. I was enamored of the idea of two lovers still entwined in dreams whispering to each other in the early morning.
