The Low Quartet
by: Michael Gordon
The Low Quartet is a celebration of the rich, low, reedy register of the bass instruments--the register that usually carries the flow line that holds up the busier stuff on top. I thought it was time to give them some action--a clumsy, fast-moving, hard-driving dance, like fat cows grooving. I wrote The Low Quartet for the low instruments of the world. -Michael Gordon
