For string quartet. Composed by Thierry Pecou. This edition: score and parts. Downloadable, Score and parts. Duration 6 minutes, 30 seconds. Schott Music - Digital #Q17840. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q17840).While Western polyphonic music achieved its pinnacle in the fugue, rhythmic polyphony of great complexity evolved in Cuba. It is particularly the “batá” (drumming music originating in the Afro-Cuban “Santería” cult), the “rumba” and the “son” (ancestor of the famous “salsa”) which have provided me with my inspiration. I employ the quartet in the manner of a drumming ensemble and each individual string corresponds to the sound of a particular drum. The quartet plays on scordatura open strings employing a rich palette of percussive playing techniques recreating the different types of drumming attacks. Thierry Pécou.
