I Fiamminghi, Rudolf Werthen

Fratres is based on the repetitions of an austere, hymn-like theme played above a continuous drone on the interval of an open fifth. The dynamic peak is reached in the middle of the work, after which the music gradually diminishes to a silence. The piece ends in a hushed spirituality. Fratres, in its original version of eight variations, was composed in 1977 for string quartet and wind quintet. Telarc presents seven of the eight original variations for the first time.
