“The all too acquainted hymns of my childhood have come again to hang-out me,” wrote American composer Ingram Marshall (1942-2022) above this system be aware for his 1992 work for string quartet, Evensongs. Marshall went on to explain the six sections of Evensongs as “hymnodic meditations” regarding twilight.
The concluding part, Quick falls the eventide: Wanderer’s Evening Music is haunting and atmospheric. Regularly, Marshall blended parts of minimalism and digital music (hearken to the 1982 Fog Tropes). Wanderer’s Evening Music is only acoustic, however its soundscape remains to be otherworldly. It’s music of a composer continually in the hunt for “the darkish and the gorgeous and the infinite.”
