Description
For string quartet. Premiered by the Contempo String Quartet in 2015.
Composer note
Pushpulling was commissioned by the Printing House New Music Festival for the Contempo String Quartet. It’s easy to hear what happens. I think there’s a certain poignancy to the ever-elongating pushes away from home, only to return, as sure as night follows day, to the same position again. A line from my teenage idol, Samuel Beckett, resonates when I think of it: “Thirty thousand nights. Hard to believe so few.”
— Donnacha Dennehy
