Description: This is a quartet with various possible instrumentations. It is a mostly mixolydian hora and lullaby. It was performed at the ISCM in Brussels in 1981 and at The Kitchen in NYC. The video is of Baroque flute, alto recorder, cello and harpsichord but C-flute/violin/oboe could easily substitute for the upper winds.
