Marvelous intense energy in the first section that is beautifully contrasted with this reflective and poignant second section.

There is a breathtaking, intense beauty to this music.  Very powerful and consuming.  Congratulations!

Excellent composition and wonderful performance!

Such a wonderful composition and performance! Well done Jack!

Spiral Sequences is a string quartet performed in two movements. The first, the shorter of the two, is frantic and pulse-driven, carried by momentum generated by spiraling 16th note patterns and repeated ostinatos. It presents fragments of a sequence-like pattern, one which is played in its complete form at the beginning of a longer, introspective second movement. The first movement presents an inward spiral, constantly tightening. The second works to unravel it.
