	String Quartet String Quartet	String Quartet	20'	Ramsey, Dale	Info/Listen/Buy »	This String Quartet is a balance of dramatic and lyrical material, varying greatly. The opening movement begins with poignant polyphony, but then morphs into rapid-fire exciting passage work in the central portion, returning in time to the quieter mood of the beginning. Movement II reminds one of a classic Siciliano, with its dotted rhythmic patterns […]

	Andante and Jubilation for Flute, Cello and Harpsichord	Cello ⋅ Flute ⋅ Harpsichord	9'	Ramsey, Dale	Info/Listen/Buy »	Little contemporary music is written for the Harpsichord, so “Andante and Jubilation” for Harpsichord, Flute and Cello is a welcome addition to the available new music. The music is written idiomatically for all three instruments. The result is a sound that achieves a fresh expression of Baroque sensibilities without attempting to copy that period’s idioms.
