Teahouses are more than just places where tea is served: they are places where people go for conversation, or to conduct business. In China they traditionally fullfilled the same function as coffeehouses in England, and the city of Chengdu is particular known for its teahouse culture.

This quartet (for the unusually grouping of two altos, bass, and contra) is about conversation: voices sometimes debating, sometimes fighting, and sometimes coming together in harmony. Harmony, by the way, is a pretty trick when the highest and lowest instrument have exactly one note in common. But that’s what it’s about: getting unlikely voices together.

This composition made the finals of the 2019 Composers Competition of the (British) Society ofRecorder Players.
