A striking new debut from the Emissary Quartet, [moment]um explores movement, change, and momentum through a program of contemporary works for flute quartet. Inspired by the Japanese concept of "Jo-Ha-Kyu" - a progression from calm beginnings to rapid culmination - the album unfolds as a carefully shaped arc, moving from the stillness of Herman Beeftink's Frequency to the driving energy of Jennifer Higdon's Steeley Pause. The program features music by living composers including Nicky Sohn, Heike Beckmann, Sung-Hyun Yun, and Kai-Young Chan, while showcasing the unique sound world of the flute quartet. Delicate lyricism, rhythmic intensity and percussive effects all contribute to the album's sense of forward motion. Founded in 2009, Emissary Quartet has established itself as a leading flute quartet, with a strong commitment to contemporary music and collaboration. The ensemble has performed and taught across the United States, appeared at the National Flute Association Convention and Mid-Atlantic Flute Convention, and was among the few flute ensembles ever to reach the live quarterfinal round of the prestigious Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition.
