Then I heard the JACK Quartet, and I understood how I might be able to make the medium my own. The result was The Wind in High Places - a twenty-minute work composed entirely on natural harmonics and open strings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOver the next few years, two more quartets followed. The second quartet, untouched, is a further exploration of the aeolian sound world of the first. Then, in Canticles of the Sky, the musicians finally touch the fingerboards of their instruments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd now comes Everything That Rises.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis fourth quartet is more expansive, both in time and in space. It grows out of Sila: The Breath of the World - a performance-length choral\/orchestral work composed on a rising series of sixteen harmonic clouds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEverything That Rises traverses this same territory, but in a much more melodic way.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach musician is a soloist, playing throughout. They surround the audience. Time floats.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOver the course of an hour, the lines spin out - always rising - in acoustically perfect intervals that grow progressively smaller as they spiral upward... until the music dissolves into the soft noise of the bows, sighing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chester Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53472441467198,"sku":"00284555","price":31.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/1396\/9982\/files\/00284555-wl.jpg?v=1778652792","url":"https:\/\/themusiciansclub.net\/en-gb\/products\/everything-that-rises-string-quartet","provider":"The Musicians Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
