Elisha's gift

James Newton

Scores And Parts String Quintets

Inspired by the story of the Prophet Elisha, as well as viewing the Northern Lights. Many of the musical figures are full of gesticulation and, at times, echo the hyper-precision of musical phrases performed simultaneously, with great life force, by Charles Christopher Parker and Dizzy Gillespie. --Program notes.
