Description
SKU: A0.869410
Composed by Thomas Oboe Lee. 20th Century,Baroque,Classical,Contemporary,Romantic Period. Score and parts. 26 pages. Thomas Oboe Lee #515271. Published by Thomas Oboe Lee (A0.869410).Sodium was originally titled "Jasmine Variations." It was a setting of poems by Jasmine Lin, who is both a superb violinist and a poet. But that work never materialized; it was never performed. So I thought maybe the work for practical considerations should be a purely instrumental work, without the texts. With a little nip and tuck, here and there, it is now a bona fide string quartet; my eleventh!!!
I did not like the sound of the title, "String Quartet No. 11." So I decided to call it "Sodium." Why? The atomic number for sodium is 11.
The quartet is in five movements.
1. Sodium Bicarbonate … Adagio
2. Sodium Chloride … Allegrissimo
3. Sodium Cyanide … Adagio
4. Sodium Cyclamate … Allegro
5. Sodium Pentothal … Largo
