String
Quartet No.4 was written
for the Camilli Quartet
who gave the first
performance at the Queen
Elizabeth Hall, London,
April 1995. It is
dedicated to the memory
of Nyman's composition
teacher, Alan Bush. This
quartet is a narrative
made up of a chain of
twelve complete but often
cross-related movements,
each quite simple in
design. For instance, the
Scottish melody first
heard in the second half
of I is hinted at in the
2nd violin/viola in the
second fast section of II
and is directly quoted
again during III and XII.
The theme of the fast
section of IV is taken up
again in VIII; IX reverts
to the mood of the
opening of I, while the
rising scale/syncopated
themes of II, IX and the
bass of X and XII are
related. X also
reintroduces the slow
harmonics theme from VII.
XII is (apparently) cast
in the form of a baroque
French rondeau. The main
theme of VI was plucked
out of the Quartet and
used in my score for
Christopher Hampton's
film Carrington. Duration
40 minutes. A set of
parts is available for
sale.

String
Quartet No.3 was written
for, and first performed
by the Balanescu Quartet,
February 1990 at the
Queen Elizabeth Hall,
London. Duration 16
minutes. Instrumental
parts are available on
sale. Quoting composer:
In the summer of 1989 I
composed a choral work,
Out of the Ruins, for
Agnieszka Piotrowska's
BBC2 documentary which
dealt with the physical
and emotional responses
of some inhabitants of
Leninakhan to the
earthquake which
devastated Armenia the
previous December. When
he heard the recording of
the work that I made with
the Holy Echmiadzin
Chorus under the fervent
conducting of Khoren
Meykhanejian, Alex
Balanescu suggested
turning Out of the Ruins
into a string quartet.
There seemed no reason or
opportunity to do this
until I felt the need to
add to the intensity of
my experiences in Armenia
the no less profound
experience of witnessing
the images of the
Romanian revolution on
television during the
later part of December
1989. The compositional
procedure was as follows:
to take Out of the Ruins
as a template on which
the Romanian vocal or
instrumental music would
be superimposed, quite
often stretched into new
intervallic shapes though
the demands of the
completely performed
harmonic structure.

There are
two primary ideas behind
this composition, the
first being to create and
almost orchestral chamber
music, the idea for this
coming from a performance
of the Grosse Fuge
performed by the Arditti
Quartet. The second idea
was to excercise the
impressive and oppresive
history of the string
quartet by making the
work a compendium of
quotations from quartet
repertoire. Influence
from Schoenberg can be
heard in chromatic,
harmonic sequences and
modal/diatonic
varioations are also
actively displayed within
the piece. The quartet is
written with
amplification in mind and
it is the composer's
preference that it is
performed in this way.
String Quartet No.1 is
dedicated to the memory
of Thurston Dart. It was
commissioned by the
Arditti Quartet and first
performed by them on 23
September 1985, Warsaw.
Duration 26 minutes.
