KAY: Memento Mori for String Quartet

Memento Mori (2001) for String Quartet

Don Kay

In 2001 I was invited to compose a short work for a string quartet to be performed by the string section leaders of the Tasmanian Youth Orchestra. The occasion was a memorial service for Claudio Alcorso, an important supporter of the arts in Tasmania. The piece is brief but deeply felt, as I knew Claudio and his wife, Leslie, often attending musical occasions at their Moorilla home.

Memento Mori was completed on 14th August 2001

Duration 3:00 minutes approx.
