String Quartet (1985) - In memoriam Urmas Kibuspuu. This impressive two-movement string quartet by the popular young Estonian composer Erkki-Sven Tuur (b. 1959) displays minimalist influences. The most pronounced ostinato tendencies are in the first violin, which repeats the same motif for several bars while the other instruments accompany it with their own recurring motifs. Released on the BIS label, the quartet is dedicated to the memory of a friend of Tuur's, the Estonian actor Urmas Kibuspuu.

Dona nobis pacem and Lux aeterna were both written for concert programs devoted to specific themes. They share the use of the techniques of minimalism in their organ parts, enabling the broad vocal lines in the choral voices to stretch out above this instrument, thus imparting a special aspect to the concerns addressed by the texts: the longing for freedom in the here and now, as expressed in the Dona nobis pacem, as well as the desire for peace and tranquillity in the Lux aeterna.

Inspired by so-called minimalist ostinato music thriving on fast textures with slow, luscious harmony, Dorff found this an enticing approach to composing for marimbas. The work was simultaneously premiered in late 1985 by Nachiko Maekane on the East Coast, and by Brian Prechtl and Hitoshi Maeda on the West Coast. Each dance etude has a characteristic interval and ostinato rhythm, and may be performed by any number of players.

I have an obsession with the poetry of William Carlos Williams (1883-1963). In the spring of 2016, I was re-reading his Collected Works and was struck by a line in his poem The Well Disciplined Bargeman. The bargeman is carefully rowing over the murky water and then under the Presence. Whatever there is else is moving. Having plucked my title from WCW's poem, I have attempted to capture that same sensation of attention being given to what is not in the foreground. The pitch material is fairly simple: steps going down. The goal is for the listener (and especially the performers) to notice what cannot be notated. This work can also be performed with an optional drone on concert E-flat.
The work was premiered by Jeff Anderle, Kevin Tang, Sophie Huet and Dan Ferreira at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music on October 16, 2017 at the concert Centennial Concert: Guitar & Clarinet

“One need have no hesitation about designating my writing of the past ten years as dodecaphonic, since the twelve tones are always in close proximity. It is atonal, since it rejects tonal centers. I only occasionally employ the stricter disciplines of the dodecaphonic and serial techniques, since I am more interested in a suppler writing style. I have nothing to do with new tendencies like ‘New Simplicity’, ‘Neoromanticism’, ‘Minimalism’, and so forth.” Ernst Krenek, 1989.
