Description

In this episode, Dave and Andrew return to the venerable string quartet for a piece that mixes tonality, modernist music, Baroque dances, and Medieval modality. But will this mixture work for them?



If you'd like more information about Aaron Jay Kernis and the String Quartet #2, we recommend:



  1. Leta Miller's book Aaron Jay Kernis, the first biography of the composer that we reference several times in the episode.

  2. A conversation between Kernis and Frank Oteri right after the biography was published.
