High Country Suite (2009) is a work in three movements for string quartet. Hoedown a lively kick-up-your-heels movement containing cascading scales, measured tremolos, accented double-stops, and a syncopated fiddle motive. The solemn Hymn Without Words begins with the cello playing the simple chorale-like theme alone. In each of the three variations that follow, the theme is played by a different member of the quartet, accompanied by the other three. Hilltop Gallop is in a rollicking 6/8 meter, with long-short-long patterns and melodic fragments characterized by dramatic leaps and arpeggios, punctuated by pizzicato chords.
