String Quartet 1, Parts

John Tavener's Pluies is a work for Solo Mezzo-Soprano SATB Chorus and String Quartet. The piece was first performed on 31st January 2015 and lasts around 5 minutes. This is the set of String QuartetParts. The words for Pluies come from a poem of the same name by Saint-John Perse. 

Schubert only took ten days to write his String Quartet in G major one of his truly monumental chamber music works. With its almost symphonic dimensions this late quartet is reminiscent of his greatString Quintet in C major. As divulged in a letter Schubert actually wanted to 'pave the way for the large symphony' with this quartet and several other chamber music works that he composed around the same time. Writtenin 1826 the quartet was not performed in public during the composer’s lifetime; and it was only published long after his death. This Urtext edition with its accompanying study edition is therefore based on the survivingautograph.
