String Quartet No.3 'Three Miniatures' was composed by Per Nørgård in 1959. Manuscript copy. Programme Note: The spectrum of sound the gesticulation in short the very nature of the strings has always had a central place in my output demonstrated by the numbers of string quartets concertos with string soloist chamber and solo works. The interest dates back to my school years when I was fortunate to be able to compose for a cello-playing schoolmate and to accompany him on the piano. I discovered then the innumerable nuances of sound and playing varieties offered by just one bow four strings and fivefingers... The Three Miniatures for string quartet has a consequent experimental structure that dictates every note in the three extremely short movements. Each member of the quartet thus plays his own little melody a certain (but different) number of times so that the brand new soundscopes constantly appear in spite of the unchanging parts due to their different length. Per Nørgård

For a man who quit an established recording career in order to study the fine art of making violins David Bromberg sure knows how to work a room. A veteran sideman to Dylan Ringo Starr and Jerry Jeff Walker as well as a solo performer and bandleader of more than 40 years standing the bearded and bespectacled Bromberg may have kept a low profile through the so-called MTV era. But he didn't sleep through the more recent recording industry implosion and its attendant rise of the Pod People. Rather he took his boundary busting energy back to the live stage with the Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank New Jersey playing a big role in this master entertainer's gameplan.The multi-instrumentalist and musicologist has made the Count Basie Theatre a crucial pit stop in his annual tour schedule for each of the last four years ... While Bromberg may take the spotlight for an unaccompanied number or two it's his role as bandleader and raconteur that prompted the New York Times to brand him 'electrifying.' A performance by the 12-piece David Bromberg Big Band fireballs forward like a bull in a used record shop tracing its own musical logic - Bob Wills to Bob Dylan to Bo Diddley to Dave Dudley - with station stops anywhere from Sam Cooke to 'a bluegrass tribute to Ethel Merman.' Not to mention some fondly remembered originals from his vintage albums and a lot of things that you thought had been written by the Grateful Dead Patsy Cline Cab Calloway or even the Clash.Titles include: Sloppy Drunk I'll Take You Back Dark Hollow Make Me A Pallet On Your Floor Who's Lovin' You Tonight This Love Affair Tongue It Takes A Lot To Laugh It Takes A Train To Cry If You Don't Want Me Nobody's Sharon and Driving Wheel
