Michael Blake
STRING QUARTET NO.3
Bardic Edition BDE963
Score and parts for 2 violins, viola and violoncello
Nofinishi Dywili (d. 2002), from Ngqoko in the Eastern Cape, South Africa, was the greatest performer of uhadi bow songs. My String Quartet No.3 is loosely based on a transcription of Nofinishi singing her great personal song "Inxembula" ("The Ugly One"). It was written for the Bow Project and could be prefaced in concert with a performance of "Inxembula". Michael Blake
Duration 5 minutes
