string quartet

4 min. 30 sec.

Earthly Delights is the second movement of a longer work, Triptych, originally composed for string octet by Elizabeth Knudson. The piece is playful, sensual, earthy and colourful— inspired by one of the most well-known paintings ever made in that genre: The Garden of Earthly Delights, by Flemish master, Hieronymus Bosch (c.1450-1516).
