| John Joubert: String Quartet No.2 Op.91 (Parts) String Quartet: 2 violins, viola, cello Music Sales

String Quartet SKU: HL.14031816 Composed by Jean Joubert. Music Sales America. Classical. Book [Softcover]. Music Sales #NOV12053901. Published by Music Sales (HL.14031816). 8.5x11.75x0.3 inches. Though conceived as four separate movements, my second string quartet has a single motif which is common to them all. This is the three-note Muss es sein? from Beethoven's last quartet, Op. 135. But whereas Beethoven's theme is notated G E A flat, thus giving it an F minor connotation, I have sued an alternative spelling - G E G sharp - which suggests an ambiguous E minor-major. This ambiguity, in fact, becomes the tonal basis of the whole work, only to be resolved at the end of the final movement. Each movement begins with a variant of the basic motif on the cello. The first has the original form of the theme, while the second has a majorised version which is also expressed as a chord. The third movement, with its scherzoid middle section, reverts to the major-minor ambiguity of the first, and the finale begins with the majorised version as an ostinato accompaniment on pizzicato cello. The slow movement is sub-titled In memoriam DSCH and concludes with a quotation of Shostakovich's motto - D E flat C B - which is basically the same as Beethoven's with the addition of one note. This is not to imply that the work contains no other thematic material. One important theme, a rising fifth and a second, is also common to three of the movements, and is ultimately derived from my first quartet, Op. 1 of 27 years earlier, to which this second contribution to the form is in many ways like a sequel. Like the earlier work, too, this quartet is dedicated to my wife. $60.00 - See more - Buy onlinePre-shipment lead time: 2 to 3 weeks | | |

Chamber Ensemble SKU: HL.14015171 Composed by Vagn Holmboe. Music Sales America. Classical. Book [Softcover]. 12 pages. Music Sales #KP00796. Published by Music Sales (HL.14015171). ISBN 9788759878224. Danish. Quartetto Sereno - String Quartet No.21 Op.197 (op. posth.) by Vagn Holmboe. Holmboe's last quartet work, which is unofficially also String Quartet No. 21, was the last work he ever composed, and was unfinished on his death in 1996. His pupil Per Nørgård has finished the quartet, and himself characterizes his contribution by saying that the score existed “in an only partly completed form, which could however be written out with only a few cases of doubt”. With only two movements and a playing time of about nine minutes it is at its existing length the shortest of Holmboe's stringquartets. The first movement takes the form of one long arch in a rocking triple time which constantly shifts among different tempo and pulse sensations. At the same time the rhythmic energy increases until the movement, in a faster Con moto tempo accelerates to a more flowing 12/8 time, coloured both rhythmically by cross-rhythms in duple time and timbrally by harmonics in the viola. In its middle section, Con fuoco, the movement culminates in both tempo and expression until it falls calm in brief recapitulations in reverse order of the first two sections. The rocking feeling continues in the second movement, but now at a more extroverted level from the outset, Allegro and pizzicato. The energy builds up further as the mood intensifies to Con fuoco, while all instruments go over to bowed playing, but like the first movement, this movement ends Adagio here however not as a gradual attenuation but through a sudden shift in tempo to a calm, imitative passage before the movement slowly thins out to the almost inaudible through a last, dense, open sounding chord with a brief violin solo above it. The quartet is dedicated to Holmboe's wife MeLa May Holmboe, and was given its first performance by the Kontra Quartet on 22nd March 1997 at the Carl Nielsen Academy of. $15.95 - See more - Buy onlinePre-shipment lead time: 2 to 3 weeks | | |

| Wash Rag for String Quartet String Quartet: 2 violins, viola, cello - Intermediate LudwigMasters Publications
String Quartet - Grade 3 SKU: AP.36-52703617 Composed by Alan Shulman. Th...(+)
String Quartet - Grade 3 SKU: AP.36-52703617 Composed by Alan Shulman. This edition: Latham Music. Quartet; Solo Small Ensembles; String - Quartet. LudwigMasters - Latham Music. Book. LudwigMasters Publications #36-52703617. Published by LudwigMasters Publications (AP.36-52703617). UPC: 735816385521. English. This humorous little vignette for string quartet was composed in 1979 and was originally intended to be published by Piedmont Music, the ASCAP division of EB Marks Classical. For reasons unknown, however, it remained in manuscript form until 2021, when a copy of the composer's autograph parts was discovered in the archives of a completely different Alan Shulman piece. This newly engraved Latham Music edition therefore represents the first publication of Shulman's delightful work, as well as the first full score. As the title suggests, this is a medium-slow rag, or cakewalk in a loose AABA form. The bluesy and graceful main melody is introduced by the first violin in a call and response exchange with the rest of the ensemble. The restatement of the primary theme is led by the second violin, with the entire ensemble playing pizzicato, having the effect of playful mockery. In the B section, the first violin earnestly reasserts the stately grace from the opening however, the cello is clearly becoming restless and decides to take over the lead just before the final reprise. The lighthearted ending again has the first violin doing its best to bring the tune to a refined conclusion, but the rest of the group still has mischief in mind. After a couple moments of seeming confusion, the ensemble regroups at last and plays the final riff with resolute emphasis. If you're looking to add a light moment to a recital program, or looking for a short, medium level contest piece that players and audiences alike will enjoy, this little miniature is an ideal choice!

String Quartet SKU: HL.49045761 Toward the Savage. Composed by Tokuhide Niimi. String Ensemble. Classical. Softcover. 52 pages. Duration 1110 seconds. Zen-On #ZN590227. Published by Zen-On (HL.49045761). ISBN 9784115902275. 8.25x11.75x0.145 inches. Improvisational energy inherent in music that spouts The Savage Mind, which is mentioned by Japanese musicologist and anthopologist Masakuni Kitazawa in his book Sound as Metaphor, always fascinates me. One of the aims of writing this work was to test whether a highly refined medium like a string quartet can produce the energy. 'Inherent in music' mentioned above can be restated as 'inherent in human being.' Beyond the intellectual inquiring mind, I hope this worl is strongly connected to 'living in the present.'
