Composed by Zack Richards. 20th Century,Concert,Contemporary. Score and parts. 56 pages. Zack Richards #2115149. Published by Zack Richards (A0.894376).

This String Quartet was written during my Graduate work in Composition. The idea of the piece was derived while I laid in my bed simply thinking about nothing specific one night. The opening melodic and rhythmic ideas just jumped into my mind. After writing them down, the first movement flowed naturally out and I finished it within a few hours late that night. I wrote the third movement in a similar state of mind. I began to think about how my mind general worked when trying to create music. As I was "wondering" the music just started to appear in my mind. Then my mind started "groovin'" as the music came flowing out. The second movement came much later. I had much more difficulty trying to come up with ideas for that one. In order to write it, I had to put myself into a "serene" state of mind with no distractions whatsoever. Again the music flowed from my mind and in one night I finished the second movement. To this day, I find that these three "states of mind" are where I am best able to create music.
