letters chased in lead (2018) for string quartet

premiered by the Mivos Quartet at Valencia International Performance Arts Festival, 2018

"Letters Chased in Lead" is inspired by lead books created by the German painter and sculptor, Anselm Kiefer. These books are vast, often weighing near 300 kilos each, and symbolize the weight of history's past through their stored knowledge, fantasy and folklore. Furthermore, lead was prized by alchemists, believing that the metal could be transformed into gold. My "letters" are interpretations of three possible pages out of a Kiefer book.

Letters Chased in Lead is 7-8 minutes long. It was premiered at the 2018 Valencia International Perform Arts Festival by the Mivos Quartet.
