Program notes:
Between threads and glimmers opens with phrases of delicate, high, and melodic chords interspersed with varying durations of silence or extremely quiet held tones. Melodic lines and flickers of motion begin to emerge from this, creating a constellation of activity, density, sparseness, and stillness that flow fluidly between each other. Lines and shapes come in and out of focus, allowing for a journey of shifting energies. My heartfelt thanks to Quatuor Diotima for their dedication and artistry when working on this piece.
Justin Weiss' between threads and glimmers for string quartet premiered on April 9, 2022 with Quatuor Diotima.
