Native American String Quartets
Season 2025 Episode 272 | 59m 28s
This week it's string quartets by Native American Composers Jerod Tate, Michael Begay, and more.
Everyone has an album they heard when young that influences them for life. For Chickasaw composer Jarod Tate that experience led to his own cycle for string quartet, Rattle Songs. On the next Arizona Encore, hear those instrumental settings alongside a new work by Tate that gives voice to the animals of the forest.
