"Abire" comes from Latin and means "to go away." "Abitur" is derived from it. This also explains the occasion of the work: it is a commissioned composition by Raphael B. Meyer for a school.
The meaning of the word is reflected in the music. The four players begin pattern-like in unison with alto recorders. Successively the voices move away and go their own ways, so that the work sounds in four voices, only to meet again - and now with different recorders - and move away again.
Abire is a lively and entertaining recorder quartet in which there is much for players and listeners to discover.
