Breitkopf & Härtel plans to publish Kareem Roustom’s Four Dances from Clorinda Agonistes for string quartet in late November 2026, according to the sheet music publisher.
The work is scored for two violins, viola and cello and has a listed duration of about 17 minutes. Breitkopf lists a 40-page score and a separate set of parts, with digital editions also shown in its catalog.
Roustom describes the four movements as drawn from a larger work combining opera and dance theater. The dramatic production was commissioned by Shobana Jeyasingh Dance, Sadler’s Wells Theatre and the Royal Philharmonic Society as a companion to Monteverdi’s Il Combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda.
The movements are titled “Transitions,” “Pursuit,” “Shawq” and “Unity.” In the publisher’s description, Roustom connects the final movement to the Iraqi line dance Chobi.
Breitkopf gives late November as the expected publication period; it does not specify a day on the product page.
