The quartet is split into two duos, one sharing the set of crotales and one sharing the vibraphone. This arrangement created some very interesting compositional challenges, both technically and musically, and many aspects of the piece arose directly from these challenges. The title comes from John Keats&#8217; famous\u00a0<em>Ode on a Grecian Urn\u00a0<\/em>, although the piece doesn&#8217;t really have much to do with the poem itself. Rather, I found the phrase to be beautifully ambiguous and suggestive when removed from the context of the poem, and I wanted to echo on a variety of levels and in a number of domains the diversity of feelings, atmospheres, and allusions that I read in this expression.<br \/>&#8211;<a href=\"http:\/\/ryanstreber.com\" target=\"_blank\">Ryan Streber<br \/><\/a><br \/><br \/><br \/><span>This recording\u00a0is supported by New Music USA\u2019s CAP Recording Program, made possible by endowment funds from the Mary Flagler Cary Charitable Trust and with funds from The Alice M.
