My Eighth and Ninth String Quartets, begun in late 2017, are sonic cousins. Akin to real cousins, each piece exhibits differing natures. They were requested by two ensembles that have become asecond familiesa to me: The Jupiter Quartet of Urbana, Illinois and the Amernet Quartet based in Miami, Florida. Their collective dedication to, and care for, our art remains a personal and constant are-fuelinga for me. The quartets were commissioned by, and dedicated to, Margaret and Philip Verleger of Denver, Colorado. Additional financial support was provided by the School of Music at Stetson University, Timothy Peter, Dean. Quartet No.8 is laid out in a classical four-movement design. The work does break somewhat from conventional tradition by often placing quartet members into soloistic roles as the movement titles note. individual The opening piece presents at the outset a three-note motto which is turned over, tumbled, and energetically discussed, primarily by a violin duet. It is a duel. The two players part company only infrequently during the movement's progress, pausing briefly for other commentary by their alower cohortsa, the Viola and Cello do not argue, but abet their friends' aeffortsa. The piece's overall character is fairly bright and dancelike, closing in an unresolvedastandoffa. not Two principal asound-objectsa stitch the second movement scherzo together: sliding hands (glissandos) and a plucked ashufflea (pizzicato) - both instigated by the (solo) cellist. The others are influenced - or are not - by their aleadera, and follow - or interrupt - the cello throughout their four-voiced conversation. The third movement (longest of the set) is an elegy dedicated to the memory of a close personal friend, the American composer David Maslanka (1943 - 2017). Its' genesis is a simple 5-note melody derived from my own name (SaC/DaC/EaC/H). This line commences in the (solo) viola and is obsessively uttered without relief during the movement's lamentations. The closing movement revisits much of that opening three-note material, but now dressed up for the full quartet to view. It is a slowly accelerating romp which - twice - cannot avoid a nod to the Amernet and Jupiter performers by offering a humble bow to the 4th movement of Gustav Holst's PLANETS - Jupiter: The Bringer of Jollity. My quartet serves as an honouring salute of thanks for the talent, respect, and friendship of these two young quartets. STRING QUARTET No. 8 is roughly 22 minutes in duration. It was written as an homage to Franz Joseph Haydn, my adesert-island-composera, and completed in Holly Hill, Florida in early April of 2019. S.H.

Nino Rota (1911-1979) war ein italienischer Komponist, der hauptsächlich Filmmusik schrieb. Zu seinen ungefähr 150 Filmmusiken zählen die Soundtracks für Der Pate I und II und zahlreiche weitere Filme von berühmten Regisseuren, wie Federico Fellini, Luigi Visconti und Francis Ford Coppola. Sein Landsmann Lorenzo Bocci ehrt ihn nun mit diesem Medley.

Les musiques de Nino Rota ont marqué l’histoire du cinéma. Ses thèmes mythiques sont associés des scènes inoubliables de films de grands réalisateurs comme Fellini, Visconti ou Coppola (avec Le Parrain I et Le Parrain II pour lequel il reçut un Oscar en 1974). Ce medley signé Lorenzo Bocci rassemble quatre des partitions les plus célèbres du maître italien : Bevete piú latte (Boccace 70), Amarcord, La dolce vota et La Passarella (8 ½).

Nino Rota è il compositore di alcune delle colonne sonore più famose mai scritte, sia per il grande cinema italiano (indimenticabili le collaborazioni con Federico Fellini) sia per Hollywood (basti pensare alla colonna sonora de Il Padrino, vincitrice del meritatissimo oscar). Il medley include musiche tratte da Amarcord, 8½, La Dolce Vita e Boccaccio ’70.
