Eight Reflections on Swing Low for String Quartet

"Eight Reflections on Swing Low” for string quartet is based on the spiritual, “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot.” It consists of eight short vignettes, each one about a minute in length, with parts of the original melody making appearances in each of the movements. The brilliant variety of texture and timbre, held together by the simple melody, make this charming work a great addition to the string quartet repertoire.
