Marti
n discusses his childhood
fascination with
composition, and eventual
discovery of
counterpoint, fugues, and
canons. He was brought up
short, upon learning that
such composition was so
out of favor at 1970-era
Peabody. Even so, he
created his third
quartet, Canons, from his
journals of those
previous efforts. These
movements are titled
Prelude, Episode I,
Interlude, Aria, Episode
II, and Meditation. There
are canons, fugue-like
pieces, and even some
double canons. Other
sections are strict in
pitch but free in rhythm.
One piece is imitative,
but freely so. For
advanced performers.
Duration: 11'30.
