Chaconne
(2016), for string
quartet, was commissioned
by the Daedalus Quartet
to celebrate its 15th
anniversary. The
commission was supported
by New Music USA, made
possible by annual
program support and/or
endowment gifts from
Pennsylvania Council on
the Arts, Helen F.
Whitaker Fund, and Aaron
Copland Fund for Music.My
music has a substantial
history with Daedalus. I
composed the Third String
Quartet (2008) for them,
and subsequently they
performed my three string
quartets on several
occasions and recorded
them brilliantly on
Bridge Records (Bridge
9352: Music of Fred
Lerdahl, vol. 3).
Chaconne is in one
movement lasting 19
minutes. It is
effectively my fourth
string quartet. Quartets
1-3 form a unified cycle
lasting 70 minutes. When
I finished the cycle, I
thought I would never
write again for the
medium; yet I could not
resist the opportunity of
working again with
Daedalus. The issue was
how to compose another
string quartet unrelated
to the earlier cycle. The
solution came from my
solo cello piece There
and Back Again (2010),
which was based on a
four-bar variation
pattern from a
17th-century chaconne.
Unlike the asymmetrical
phrases and expanding
variations of much of my
music, the chaconne form
requires symmetrical
phrases and strictly
periodic variations. I
wished to work again with
these symmetries but on a
larger scale. Chaconne
also differs in character
and expression from the
three-quartet cycle. The
cycle is inward and
intense, a kind of
psychological excavation.
Chaconne is, for the most
part, transparent and
playful. Many of its
textures emerge from
little canons, not
completely unlike the
rounds that children
sing. Any composer who
writes in chaconne form
(one thinks above all of
the last movement of
Bach's D minor violin
partita and the finale of
Brahms's Fourth Symphony)
is confronted with the
challenge of how to
create a larger form out
of a constantly repeating
pattern.My Chaconne grows
from paired
antecedent-consequent
phrases, each variation
lasting eight bars. The
50 variations group into
three large rotations,
forming three arcs of
tension and relaxation,
with subtle parallel
connections across the
rotations.
Notwithstanding my
attraction to chaconne
form, I purposefully
disguised its symmetries
and periodicities in
order to build an overall
dramatic shape. Fred
Lerdahl.

's 3rd Quartet is the
third of six pieces which
make up a cycle with the
overall title 'Terrain'.
Lasting around 23
minutes, this wonderful
work is arranged for
String Quartet and was
co-commissioned by The
Radcliffe Trust, NMC
Recordings,
Internationales
Musikfestival
Heidelberger Fruhling and
Wigmore Hall. The
premiere was performed on
19th January
2015. This is the
set of parts for 2
Violins, Viola and Cello.
The six different
compositions, of which
3rd Quartet is
the third, are for
different combinations of
stringed instruments,
featuring Piano in the
second piece. The music
that comprises 3rd
Quartet is drawn
from the other parts
ofthe cycle as a whole,
yet in a reverse order.
In this way the piece
develops what has come
before, foreshadows
what's to come, all the
while encompassing the
entire cycle in a single
piece.

This cycle
arranged by Aribert
Reimann of eight Lieder
by Mendelssohn contains
well-known items like:
'Leise zieht durch mein
Gemut' and 'Auf Flugeln
des Gesangs'. The songs
are joined to each other
by specially composed
intermezzi which attempt
- with refer-ence to the
thematic material of the
songs - to re-interpret
Mendelssohn's idiom for
our time. '... oder soll
es Tod bedeuten' ist the
final work in Reimann's
series of adaptions of
19th-century songs for
voice and string quartet.
Franz Schubert's 'Mignon'
(ED 8466) has already

Many pieces
with a classical cycle of
movements lead to an
examination of baroque
counterpoint in the form
of a fugue. Widmann's
fifth string quartet,
which closes his first
cycle in this genre like
a finale, wants to remain
a deliberately tentative
'Versuch uber die Fuge',
through it's dialogue
with the singing voice's
quotation from the Bible:
'That which is, is far
off and exceedingly deep.
Who can find it out? -
Vanitas vanitatum omnia
vanitas!'.

Tanahashi.
In my
opinion our world is
currently in great need
of reestablishing strong
connections one to
another, be it with
family and friends,
neighbors and strangers,
nations and nations, or
with those of different
cultures and religions.
In his important book, I
and Thou,
philosopher-theologian
Martin Buber says that
the most meaningful life
is centered on
relationship. As a
musician, I felt
compelled to express the
I-THOU thesis through the
human voice. In searching
for the right words to
express this sentiment, I
was fortunate to find
Kazuaki
Tanahashi’s
eloquent poem,
“Encounter.â€
Mr. Tanahashi is a poet,
Zen artist, scholar and
peace activist. This
combined-voices version
has been adapted from an
SATB scoring that
features prominently in
the original song cycle,
I-THOU, written for vocal
quartet, commissioned and
premiered in 2018 by
Fourth Coast Ensemble in
Chicago. —Wayland
