String Quartet No. 4 "Kaddish"

String Quartet No. 4. “Kaddish קדיש"

In Judaism, the Mourners Kaddish is a prayer said over the dead. I originally wrote this over the COVID lockdown in 2020, inspired by personal loss. My aim was not to concretize any specific event but to capture the pain I was going through at the time. I personally can’t think of a more appropriate time to share this work, and to do so with respect to ALL of the innocent lives that have been lost in these dark and horrible times.
