Clocks
Cuarteto Latinoamericano
Clocks
"Clocks” was composed in 1998.
The six individual movements form a suite in which each movement represents a clock, a group of clocks, or a story related to clocks. In its entirety it becomes akin to an aural visit to a clock museum.
Composer Miguel del Aguila avoids the piano quintet sound so often associated with the quintets of Brahama and Mozart, instead exploring different sounds and ways of producing them: plucked strings on the piano, extremely high registers, and pizzicatos as well as rhythmic ostinatos with the strings.
The piano is not as dominating as in a typical quintest, taking a more prominent role only in the last movement.
