String Quartet Cello,String Quartet,Viola,Violin - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1418479 Composed by Roy Swanson (ASCAP). 20th Century,Chamber,Classical. 60 pages. Runway Region Publications, LLC #1000048. Published by Runway Region Publications, LLC (A0.1418479). A string quartet in three movements by Roy Swanson.  The piece begins with contemplative and flowing music as the title of the movement is Flowing.  The second movement is titled Rap due to its rhythmic pulse.  The instruments each take parts in the driving rhythm, giving the listener a sense of a group of rap artists improvising a song in this genre.  The third movement returns to a slow and contemplative feel before suddenly changing into a rhythmic figure characterized by triplets surrounded by eighth notes that compliment the melodic tune in the other instruments. String players will love playing this piece for their audiences!
