Lucian Moraru

Faculty of Law

This is a fascinating work for string quartet and percussion. The song was commissioned to be performed at the event that celebrated in 2019, 160 years since the founding of the Faculty of Law in Bucharest (Romania). Musical themes and accompaniment combine both classical and jazz genres. It is a 7-minute work composed in a single movement that contains lively contrasting sections, energetic, with interesting rhythms, with some mysterious passages in the flageolet and of course with a small insert from Gaudeamus igitur. The piece exploits all four instruments in equal conditions through which the instrumentalists can fully show their technical skills, being a pleasure for the members of the string quartets who like to show their virtuosity. The piece can be interpreted in two variants: only with the string quartet formula without percussion or string quartet together with percussion (drum set / single percussionist). This score is a smart choice for string quartets that want to achieve the acclaim from the audience.
