Mark Carlson (1952-) /aworks guide/

Mark Carlson is a professor at UCLA, plays flute and is the founder/artistic director of the Pacific Serenades chamber music ensemble.

As if hit by a bolt of lightening, I thought, “These are as much art songs as Schumann and Schubert songs are,” and I became determined to include some aspect of my American-music roots in all of my music from that point on.

1. Quartet (1994). For flute, clarinet/bass clarinet, cello, and piano.
2. Abschied (1993). For cello and piano.
3. Piano Quartet (1992). For violin, viola, cello, and piano. Low key.
