| program notes: |
Persistent underlying rhythms that evoke the feel of a train ride in all four movements, and the distinctly nocturnal character of the inner two, combined to suggest the work’s title. Night Train was composed for Baroque flutist Stephen Schultz and Pittsburgh's innovative new quartet Cellofourte. Schultz performs his Baroque-era flute (traverso) with a sound processor that provides amplification, reverb, and delay effects. The amplified Celloforte delivers a steady supply of dynamic textural sound and driving rhythm composed with an ear towards the quartet's signature style. The percussion section features a full sized marimba, and a battery of drums including tom-toms, congas, timbales, crotales, temple blocks, and udu. |
