Lowel
l Liebermann's 4th String
Quartet was commissioned
by the Canandaigua Lake
Chamber Music Festival
and the Wood Library,
Canandaigua, NY, for the
Orion Quartet in
celebration of their 20th
Anniversary. The quartet
was premiered by the
Orions at the Canandaigua
Lake Chamber Music
Festival in Rochester, NY
on February 9th, 2008. To
quote the writer Mark
Greenberg: It's a
remarkable piece. The
mood is elegiacal and
meditative, the melodic
lines sinuous and
searching, the harmonies
rich and astonishingly
beautiful. Liebermann
works within the
traditions of Western
tonality, but that is a
mansion with many rooms.
Liebermann inhabits all
of them as his expressive
purposes require, and he
doesn't mind knocking
down a wall to create new
harmonic spaces. The
Fourth Quartet doesn't
exactly fit the
neoromantic niche into
which Liebermann is
sometimes placed. Much of
the music, especially
near the beginning, is a
highly advanced and fluid
chromatic expressionism
with modernist
tendencies. Sometimes
this roiling cloudscape
breaks open to allow a
patch of near-classical
harmony and
almost-resolution. Near
the midpoint the clouds
lift in leaping
modulations. Several
chordal passages recall
Russian Orthodox chant.
Suddenly, when you've
begun to think the
somber, deliberate pace
has gone on a bit too
long, Liebermann
introduces a kind of
hobbled, stilted jazz
idiom. The piece dies in
pensive quiet.

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

The
term
‘freygish’
is typically found in
klezmer music but derives
from a much older
cantorial mode, also
known under several other
titles including the
Ahava Rabbah mode, the
Mode of Supplication, and
Altered Phrygian mode. It
is used for the setting
of ‘Ahava
Rabbah’, or
‘abounding
love’, the
Ashkenazi prayer and
blessing sung during the
synagogue morning
services. When performed,
either in synagogue or in
a klezmer setting, the
mode can be developed
into a variety of short
phrases and melodic
forms. Jeremy Arden has
taken this beautiful
irregular scale and
filtered its melodic
forms through my own
musical sensibilities to
create a dialogue between
Jewish musical traditions
and the western musical
canon, expressed here
through the rigorous
crucible of the string
quartet.

I fell
in love with the
remarkable singing of the
Tenores di Bitti on
hearing their recordings
as a student. Their
uniquely intense vocal
timbre, their harmony,
which seemed pure and
rough at once, and the
sense that this music
was, at root, not so much
about performance as
simply being together in
the world, in a community
of spirit. At the time, I
had no intention of using
this music to my own
creative ends, but now,
here we are: Sardinian
Songbook is the second in
a cycle of works for the
Ligeti Quartet, all based
on transcriptions of
music from different
throat-singing
traditions. Like string
quartets, the tenores
usually sing in groups of
four voices, but being
free from instruments
they stand very close
together enabling the
resonances of their
voices to blend and
interact in a special
way. The quartet, of
course, can only sit so
close before their bows
clash, so I have chosen
instead to reflect this
physical closeness
inversely, by getting the
players to stand
increasingly far from one
another as the piece
progresses. In so doing,
the initial state of
sonic blend gives way to
hocketing lines, opening
up the sense of
space.Christian Mason,
2018 The four movements
may be played separately
or as a collection. If
played together the
following order should be
observed (see table of
contents).

Staeliana was
commissioned by the
Fundacio Caixa de
Catalunya in 2007 for the
inauguration of an
exposition of the work of
Nicolas Staël at La
Pedrera, Barcelona. In
this work I wanted to
compose homage to a
painter who knew how to
join together in his
unique works both the
traditions of the past
along with the vanguard
of his time. Beginning
with figurative works
which lead toward
abstraction, his body of
work can be defined as a
contrast between these
two concepts which, with
extreme simplicity,
define his entire
artistic conception.
Staeliana, an expressive
chorale, at times both
luminous and dramatic,
dissolves into the most
minimal expression. From
the first joining
together of the voices it
concludes with utter
simplicity of expression.
The suicide of the artist
in 1955 is representative
of the dissolution of his
existence as well as of
his artistic works. This
contrast between
figurative and
abstraction is reflected
in the music by the
contrast between
stability and tension. I
believe that this duality
may be found both in his
work and in his life,
always oscillating
between living a creative
life or opting for death,
which may be seen as a
fusion in nothingness
with the plenitude of
purest simplicity.

surviving work by the
Polish-Ukrainian composer
Józef Koffler.
Originally a follower of
the Second Viennese
School, Koffler, himself
a professor and
functionary in Soviet
Ukraine, had to change
his style in the face of
enormous political
pressure. Despite the
harsh circumstances,
these six miniatures for
string quartet are free
of all kitsch of
'socialist realism' and
radiate an independent
expressiveness and
immediate lyricism in the
interweaving of Eastern
European folklore and the
classical string quartet
tradition.

With his
first String Quartet in D
minor, op. 77, composed
in 1855, the native Swiss
composer Joachim Raff bid
a brilliant farewell to
Weimar. He had been there
as Franz Liszt's
assistant since 1850 and
had made a name for
himself in the city's art
scene - now he embarked
on new paths. He composed
his second Quartet in A
major, op. 90, already in
1857 in Wiesbaden, the
spa town that was to
become his home for 21
years. The two quartets
are unequivocal works:
orchestrally-conceived,
full of energetic vigor,
and at times
uncompromisingly modern.
They confidently continue
the Beethoven tradition
and attest at the same
time to Raff's intensive
confrontation with
Richard Wagner's music
during the Weimar years.
In his chamber music, the
composer wanted to
achieve progress in an
inherently historical way
and to ground the
individual substance in
existing forms, as he
told the Viennese
violinist Josef
Hellmesberger, who
launched opus 77. The
quartets, first published
in 1860/62, found
illustrious interpreters,
among them, the Muller

ensemble, to which opus
90 was also dedicated,
