Note from the Composer
Rage/Resolve is the third and final work in my Introspection Trilogy, a set of string quartets with electronics written for the JACK Quartet, that examine inner emotional states through musical expression. The piece begins by reflecting on feelings of anger and frustration that arise from relentlessly bleak and seemingly unsolvable geopolitical conflicts. That is followed by a meditation on the internal resolution required to forge ahead in dark times without succumbing to despair. The entire Introspection Trilogy will be premiered at the Time:Spans Festival in New York City in August 2025.
–Rand Steiger, composer
