Joseph Haas was the teacher, Paul Hindemith the model of the director of many years' standing of the Frankfurter Musikhochschule. The Heitere Suite was created in 1945. After a slow introduction (quasi rezitativo) with a viola solo full of suspense, the first violins start playing a succinct, rhythmically accentuated theme dominat-ing the whole movement and appearing in many different forms. Lively intensifications and, not least, the occasional soloistic use of the instruments are giving colour to this work. A valu-able addition to our concert programmes of moderate modern style. (Das Liebhaberorchester).

Aeolian Adventure is a straightforward concert overture in pure A minor (Aeolian mode). It should be performed in a march-like manner at a brisk tempo deemed appropriate by the director for the ensemble. The countermelody first heard at m. 31 should soar above the ensemble. The counter lines found in the contrasting middle section beginning at m. 50 will require careful attention to balance. The section beginning m. 89 will provide young students with an opportunity to learn the skill of performing a crescendo poco a poco.

As a composer, Joseph Bologne was quite prolific, composing six operas, fourteen violin concertos, four symphonies concertantes, and numerous chamber works and songs. His Six String Quartets, Op. 1, Nos. 1-6 date from 1770-1771 and are dedicated to Anne Louis Alexandre de Montmorency (1724-1812), 7th Prince of Robeck and Grand Duke of Spain. All of his quartets feature a prominent first violin part and the Opus 1 quartets all display a similarity to the Italian opera overtures from earlier in the century in A-B-A form with the ‘A’ sections being robust allegros and all ‘B’ sections marked rondo.This lively Rondeau from Bologne's Six String Quartets, Op. 1 is a classic seven-part rondo with an ABACAB’A formula. The ‘A’ sections are set in G Major, ‘B’ in D Major, and ‘C’ in G Minor. As was typical of the Classical style, the primary melody is heard mainly in first violin, while other sections provide supporting harmonic and rhythmic roles. The essence of the string quartet scoring is retained by having the bass double the cello part. This makes more of this significant composer’s music accessible to school ensembles, resulting in a charming concert selection appropriate for concert or festival.
