Oh, I was standing by the bedside
 Where my fevered mother lay
 When she called me close beside her 
And I thought I heard her say
    
I’ve just seen the rock of ages
 Jacob’s ladder hanging down 
I’ve just crossed the river of Jordan 
Now, my son, I’m homeward bound
 Oh, as we gathered by her bedside
 Tears begin to fill our eyes
 Then she called me close beside her
 And whispered softly her good-byes 
Pine trees blowing cross the mountain
 Where forever she will lay
 There she’ll rest beside the fountain
 There she’ll sleep beneath the clay

about

Originating from Jordan, USA, UK and Palestine, The Four Corners Quartet will take you somewhere you will have never been before. Shattering the traditional impression of a string quartet, they are a self-composing and improvising ensemble with an energy unheard to the jazz, world, or contemporary classical scene.


On 4/4 they release their debut EP - The Four Corners; four new works from their four corners of the world. The EP explores Arabic improvisations, Palestinian folk, Native American Choctaw hymnals, to a jazz cover arranged by the UK’s Mercury Nominated trio GoGo Penguin.

Formed in 2014 at Berklee College of Music, their first recording of Eugene Friesen’s “Maracaibo” quickly became a YouTube sensation worldwide. Now they step out across boarders with their first record, promising to be an new evolution to their own traditions.
