Composed for Megan Hamer and dedicated to Dutch violinist Anahi Oraison, this string quartet was written for and about young people. Almost entirely in 1st-3rd positions, it nevertheless offers various technical challenges for the players. Each of the three movements depicts aspects of youth: I. Allegro—Andante—Allegro (“Scènes de la jeune vie” / “Scenes of Young Life”); II. Adagio (“Un portrait de Jodelle Ferland” / “A Portrait of [child actress] Jodelle Ferland”); III. Allegro (Gigue) (“L’enfant espiègle” / “The Mischievous Child”). The score is available from Wolfhead Music.
