        Composer Note:
        The Blues for string quartet (written 12 September 2010), also existing in a version
        for organ, is a simple, straightforward piece in ternary form: two identical outer parts based on irregular, syncopated rhythms enclose a trio section closer to the American folk idioms of ragtime. The piece is in D major, and expresses a mood or colour often linked with that key in my work.
