Sit With Me: a string quartet in D major for ATX Classical Jams, written for Graham Paasch, 2026-11-02. The second piece inspired by Rameau's Tristes apprêts (Castor et Pollux): one sixteen-bar tune, sung four times, the room changing around it. The viola sings it first over the violins' sighs; violin I sings it an octave up over a chorale tied across every bar line; violin I and viola sing it together in octaves with violin II rising above; the cello sings the first sentence alone as the coda. The bass walks once a bar through the flat seventh, and every slurred pair is a sigh: lean on the first note, let the second go. Slow, singing, quarter = 48; 65 bars; about five and a half minutes plus the ring. Rendered with sfizz and Virtual Playing Orchestra samples; the playhead follows the performance tempo map; every bar is numbered.
