WILLYN WHITING, COMPOSER
Two Pieces (2019)
for string quartet 08'
PROGRAM NOTE
These two pieces were written as a pair of studies on the production of natural harmonics. Piece A systematically explores intervals which are possible using the first eleven harmonics on any available string. The harmonic motion is from intervallic complexity towards simplicity. Piece B explores the range of notes produced by slow harmonic glissandi, on specific strings.
