Tombeau-Aria (2003) for string quartet was commissioned for the Premieres Festival in Kyiv, Ukraine and was composed and dedicated in memory of American composer Meyer Kupferman (July 3, 1926 - November 26, 2003) . The work is a brief aria -- a solo violin plays a melody exploring a fixed position 12-note chord over a moving passacaglia idea of inwards moving chords in the viola and cello. A reposed coda explores the same material at a slower pace.
