This string quartet was written for the Bennington Composers Conference in summer, 1985. It was later revised to include more material of American country fiddle playing. The score represents the revised version, so score and recording may not be the same in places.

The free materials provided here (complete parts and score) will enable a performer to realize a complete performance. All I ask is that you send me a program as attachment at pbmclean2@gmail.com.
