Score onlyAlso available - Set of Parts (Cat. #90940011)The Kronos String Quartet commissioned this twenty-minute through-composed work. Hemphill has created dynamic and evocative string quartet settings of these three Mingus masterworks. The cello part, in particular, evokes Charles Mingus's voice and virtuosity on the bass. This work extends the imperatives heard in Charles Mingus' music with equal daring and virtuosity. It is heads above many of the arrangements of jazz works for a classical ensemble.2 Violins, Viola, Cello Duration: 15' Composed: 1988 Published by: Subito Music Publishing.
