String Quartet #2: "The Revenant"

A revenant is a ghost, especially one who has returned to earth for some specific purpose. This quartet contains many musical ghosts. Listen for the ghosts of Bartok (I) and Stravinsky (III); as well as ghostly allusions to various musical styles throughout (a tango and a waltz in I; 16th century counterpoint in II; and a drinking song and lullaby in IV). Each movement of the quartet (with the exception of the Fantasia) is cast in an old fashioned musical form, as the titles indicate.
