Darn!

Instrumentation: String Quartet (Vln 1&2, Vla, Clo)

Duration: About 3′

Program notes: A play on words, this piece is inspired by hobbies I have returned to time and again: sewing, crocheting, and cross-stitching. Anyone who has worked with needles and thread understands the frustration that comes with a sewing machine jam, stitches slipping off needles, or discovering you have used the wrong color.
