Et puis encore (2014)

string quartet
c. 5 minutes

Premiered by the Ligeia Quartet
Eidson-Duckwall Recital Hall, Indianapolis, IN, 8 April 2014
Et puis encore was written for the Ligeia Quartet, who premiered the work in April 2014 at Butler University in Indianapolis. The title is taken from a poem by French poet Charles Baudelaire entitled Le Voyage (1861), which describes the excitement and eventual disillusionment of young travelers. Early in their journey, they meet a group of more experienced travelers and ask them what they have seen, inquiring, “Et puis, et puis encore?” Although I selected the title after writing the piece, I thought Baudelaire’s poem of yearning and sorrow fit perfectly with the musical environment I created.
