Impressions On Beethoven's Harp Quartet. Par AMANTI LUCIO. When Cuarteto Casals approached me with the idea of illuminating Beethoven´s quartets anew, you can imagine the many thoughts and feelings that where going through my mind: what a joy, what a great honor… What an intriguing head-scratcher! How can you possibly shine a new light on something that is already perfect? Weeks, months went by in search of a common ground between the Master and myself until I finally found it in the realization that a word lays “hidden” in the St. John’s hymn that gave musical notes their original name: ‘Re, Sol, Ut, Io’ (D, G, C, B in English music notation) Perfect! “Resolutio” in Latin means both the resolution of a problem and the re-solution: a re-blend of many elements that will eventually coagulate to make something new. There was finally the melodic and a rhythmical canvas for my piece. On this canvas I wrote the story of a funny little contest, played on a sunny Mediterranean square, between street musicians and Cuarteto Casals just minutes before they are about to go on stage to perform Beethoven´s “Harp Quartet”. After all the characters, each in his own way, had the chance to tell their story, a gentle rain starts to fall, dissolving (Re-solving) again the music sheet to eventually leave us with just a white piece of paper for somebody else to continue the Work.

This is the Study Score edition of Per Nørgård's String Quartet No.8 'Night Descending'. Programme note: This piece is based on 5 sections from my chamber opera Nuit des homme where a string quartet is the leading instrumental ensemble. Even though the subject is The Great War (1st World War) the plot is on a psychological level and follows the development of a couple - in poems of Guillaume Apollinaire. The couple's war enthusiasm in the beginning is replaced by horror and in the end dehumanizing. The five movements of the quartet express phases in this process: from the Eulogy of the prologue praise of the The Sun of Gold above the humananimal - a rhythmic tense and still more and more militaristic movement - to The Journey whose enlargement of conscience due to the exhausting tempo of the new era is suddenly stopped in the fourth movement carrying the title of the piece and expressing the calm before storm not as a blessing of peace but as a latent anxiety. In the epilogue of the fifth movement the theme of the prologue reappears but it is changed from hymn to elegy. The quartet is dedicated to the Zapolsky Quartet who took part in the world premiere of the opera in September 1996. Per Nørgård 1997

Three arrangements including Ave Verum Corpus and the Lacrimosa from the Requiem.During the year 1771 when Mozart was 15 years old he and his father Leopold were touring Italy which was at that time the most formidable citadel of the music world. In the following four years the young Mozart was received at the homes and villas of Italy's aristocracy. He met the most famous musicians of the time including Niccolo Piccinni operatic rival to Gluck and Padre Martini from whom he was to benefit from studies in counterpoint. He also met many noted male soprano singers and for one the celebrated Venanzio Rauzzini he wrote in 1773 the motet Exsultate Jubilate from whichcomes the well known Alleluia.At the end of his life only 19 years later in Vienna 1791 Mozart was very ill and working on a number of massive works such as the operas The Magic Flute and Titus also the Requiem. Titus was completed in 18 nerve-shattering days as it had to be performed in Prague in September 1791. At its premiere it was a complete flop. This affected the now overworked almost penniless composer's spirit and he returned to Vienna suffering from mental and physical exhaustion. Rest was denied him. The Magic Flute had to be finished for its premier on September 30th 1791. The task of the Requiem still faced him. In this weakened state Mozart thought that he was in fact writing his own requiem reading evil omens into the commissioning of the work. He thought someone had calculated the precise time of his death and was thus troubled with sombre thoughts. He completed the first two of the twelve parts. The next six parts were in an unfinished state and his manuscript ceased at the Lacrimosa. Süssmayer who was working closely with Mozart at the time was given the task of finishing the Requiem.Ave Verum Corpus is also one of his final works. It is a setting of an anonymous hymn written as a motet for Anton Stoll the choirmaster at Baden in June 1791.Mozart was a composer of great genius who

Alle großen Komponisten seit der Renaissance haben die feststehenden Teile der Messliturgie, Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus und Agnus Dei, vertont. Auch das Requiem, die Hymnen und Sequenzen [darunter Te Deum und Stabat Mater] oder die Karwochenliturgie sind Gegenstand vieler herausragender Kompositionen. Michael Wersin, Musikwissenschaftler, Sänger und Chorleiter, führt in diesem einzigartigen Band mit etwa 400 Werkbesprechungen von über 150 Komponisten in den Kosmos der lateinischen Kirchenmusik ein, der heute im Konzert und auf Tonträgern so präsent wie niemals zuvor ist.

Originaire comme l'équivalent musical d'une oeuvre d'art conceptuel, cette pièce dispose de plusieurs versions de la scène, provenant souvent des occasions particulières et des environnements. Tous les matériaux utilisés sont issues de la recherche et de concussions sur le naufrage du 'insubmersible' paquebot le 14 Avril 1912 après avoir heurté un iceberg lors de son voyage inaugural. Le point de départ initial était le fait rapporté de la bande jouant 'Automne' la mélodie de l'hymne dans les derniers instants de naufrage du navire, ainsi que d'autres caractéristiques de la catastrophe qui génèrent des matières performance musicale ou sonore ou qui 'se l'esprit à d'autres régions '. Autre matière est superposée à l'hymne, y compris des fragments deentretiens avec des survivants, des séquences Morse, les références musicales à différentes mélodies possibles pour l'hymne, le son de l'impact de l'iceberg, et ainsi de suite. / Quatuor A Cordes

The popular seasonal music of the English Georgian parish church - often called gallery music - yielded a wonderfully rich harvest of hymns carols and anthems. Drawn from a repertoire only recently rediscovered and recorded on the Hyperion label by the choir Psalmody and The Parley Instruments these new editions offer a sparkling array of fresh alternative Easter and passiontide music.

Wer kennt es nicht, das Lied ?Guantanamera'? Auf eine Melodie des kubanischen Musikstils Guajira und einen Text des dortigen Nationalhelden José Martí zurückgehend, wurde sie von José Fernández Díaz in den 30er-Jahren als Refrain zu Improvisationen über aktuelle Tagesthemen benutzt. Pete Seeger griff das Martí-Original 1963 bei einem Konzert in der New Yorker Carnegie-Hall wieder auf - es wurde zu einer ?Hymne' der amerikanischen Gewerkschaftsbewegung. In unzähligen Versionen ist der Titel seitdem gesungen worden, bis hin zum Rudi-Völler-Schlachtgesang, der im Jahre 2002 in den Fußballstadien widerhallte. Die vorliegende Ausgabe gibt Gelegenheit, den Welthit nun mit Klaviertrio zu musizieren - viel Vergnügen! / Quatuor A Cordes

Allerheiligentag Iii. Par LINJAMA JYRKI. Jyrki Linjama's second string quartet (2018) is subtitled Allerheiligentag III. The material for the Allerheiligentag cycle is a Finnish folk chorale for All Saints' Day (no. 146 in the Finnish Hymn Book). The first work in the cycle is a string trio (2007), the second a piece for orchestra (2009), and the fourth and fifth are solo works for viola da gamba and violin.The composer tells: “The choice of topic and material for the string trio was originally prompted by the venue at which it was to be premiered: the old church on the island of Seili (Själö). The bleak history of the island's leper and mental hospital evoked images of suffering and death. I got so attached to the harsh and beautiful melody that it began to generate a whole cycle.” The string quartet is in three movements (slow-quick-slow) tensed in different ways by contrasts. The first movement has both swinging softness and cutting sharpness, the Scherzo the wildness of a dance of death and lyricism, and the finale the irrevocability of a funeral march and tender melodiousness./ Répertoire / String Quartet
