String Quartet No. 5, "A Year in a Country" is an 8-movement suite inspired by a five-season, summer-through-summer retreat from New York City life to the composer's second home in the Catskills. A feeling of restfulness and rejuvenation pervades the work, with slow drone movements interrupted only by birds, bugs, leaves, and folk musicians. Schickele's music is absolutely charming and calming.
