This important new work was conceived as a continuous composition; a departure from her recent collaged works.
Monk enjoys writing for a string quartet as though the instruments are themselves voices.
Here, she teams up with a string quartet of New York players, who are well versed in new music; and adds winds, percussion and two vocal groups to her own brilliant singers.
An extraordinary musical experience.
