Ellen Taaffe Zwilich?s Septet is the first major work written for this combination of instruments, and the pioneering process was greatly enjoyed by the composer:?While the instrumentation of the Septet provides an almost orchestral palette, and it was interesting to explore that, I love the idea of seven artist-performers, each of whomcan be a stunning virtuoso one moment and a thoughtful partner the next, and I relish the electricity that results from those shifting roles.? Septet was written for the Kalichstein-Laredo-RobinsonTrio and the Miami String Quartet, to whom it is dedicated. String parts available on rental. For advanced ensembles. Duration: 24?
