This string quartet takes its subtitle from a poem by Andrew Rudd in which he celebrates the magnificent stained glass windows of the historic Manchester Cathedral in England, pointing out that all of their colors are "born of one light." Likewise, in music, all pitches are born of one fundamental tone, out of which comes the harmonic series of overtones that produce the myriad pitches and tone colors composers have arranged and rearranged for centuries. This quartet attempts a representation of that fundamental truth, basing its musical materials on the note C and gradually finding all twelve tones and all tonal centers, exploring along the way some of the unique timbral effects possible on string instruments. The music, in three movements, is variously tonal and non-tonal, free form and traditional. Approximately 21 minutes duration.
