Details

Giacomo Puccini composed Crisantemi (Chrysanthemums) for string quartet in one overnight sitting in January of 1890 after hearing of the unexpected death of his close friend Amadeo di Savoia, the former King of Spain. This poignant 6-minute elegy, an early work, soon afterwards shows up in Puccini's first great opera, Manon Lescaut. The chrysanthemum is traditionally brought to the cemetery to mourn loved ones in Italy and other European countries.

Appropriate for advanced performers and beautifully scored by Kevin R. Dombrowski for Trombone Quartet.
