"Gavotte for String Quartet" by Kyle Randall at www.writingmusic.org

Played live by musicians Sam Weiser, Maria van der Sloot, Justine Preston and Evan Kahn  at San Francisco Conservatory of Music.

This piece for string quartet was originally written for piano, as another modern take on old dance forms. As one of the more sprightly Baroque dances, the Gavotte jumps and moves around with a light touch, and it loves to turn the rhythm inside out on itself.
