| Notes |
Even before Moments in Human Life’s first note is heard in a concert hall, its unusual instrumentation is apparent on stage. Two violins, viola, and cello – the classic formation of a string quartet – are joined by the three iconic East Asian zithers; koto, guzheng, and kayagum, as well as various Korean percussion instruments. The East Asian instruments in this piece constitute the unique formation of the ensemble IIIZ+ which is one of the two ensembles that have commissioned Moments in Human Life, the other one being United Berlin.
