String Quartet (2vl,va,vc) SKU: BR.EB-9383 Composed by Misato Mochizuki. Chamber music; stapled. Edition Breitkopf. New music (post-2000). Full score. Composed 2019/2020. 12 pages. Duration 7'. Breitkopf and Haertel #EB 9383. Published by Breitkopf and Haertel (BR.EB-9383). ISBN 9790004188538. 9 x 12 inches. Two years ago in Rome, I encountered a murmuration of starlings and I was amazed with its overwhelming beauty, changing shape as it moved. Moving of a fish school that you can watch in an aquarium, has the same beauty and the energy. According to the scientists, their fine movement in a flock is based on the following three simple rules: - steer to avoid crowding local flockmates - steer towards the average heading of local flockmates - steer to move towards the average position (center of mass) of local flockmates The word Boids refers to bird-like objects (bird-oids), representing the beauty of their movements in a flock which is a result of balancing out with each other, following the principle of least effort. I wonder if these rules can be applied to the way a string quartet is shaped. Boids again has been written as a sequel to the piece Boids (2017), a 4 minute study for string quartet in the frame of the Kronos Quartet's educational project 50 for the Future. (Misato Mochizuki)
