To a jewelry maker, findings are bits of stuff they use in their craft - not the centerpiece gems or festoons, but just as essential to the finished piece. These quartets by Hailstork, Perkinson and Beethoven show composers working freely from hymn tunes found in vastly different traditions

Adolpuhus Hailstork: Quartet No. 2. Variations on “Sing Low, Sweet Chariot”

Coleridge Taylor Perkinson: Quartet No. 1 “Calvary”

Ludwig van Beethoven: Quartet in E minor, Op. 59, No. 2, “Rasumovsky”
