Composed by Amos Chia
Performed by the Benyounes Quartet
An avant-garde composition written for string quartet, built entirely on circle of fifths. The feeling of rubato is created with dynamics, as the entire piece follows a strict tempo. A sense of lament is created, as the tri-tones heard at the beginning develops into circle of fifths, with two circles moving contrapuntally between the strings towards the end of the piece.
