El Chan is a work by Bryce Dessner for Piano Quartet. Commissioned by Britten Sinfonia and Wigmore Hall, the piece was composed as a gift for the Academy Award winning director Alejandro GonzálezIñárrituand his wife. The work was inspired by the beauty of the natural landscape around the director's hometown in Mexico. A full performance would last around 16 minutes, and this is the Full Score.
