1982 saw the
publication of a melody
for written for bagpipes
by the name of
Highland
Cathedral—a
name that draws its
inspiration from a famous
neo-Gothic church in
Glasgow, Scotland. Since
its first appearance,
Highland Cathedral
has enjoyed a triumphant
tour around the globe,
often acknowledged as an
enthusiastic tribute to
the nation of Scotland.
Anthony
Gröger’s
version for string
quartet combines this
passionate character with
unmistakeable echoes of
the Scottish feel of the
original work. Here then
is this true classic,
especially popular at
wedding ceremonies, now
arranged for string
quartet.
In het
jaar 1982 werd een voor
doedelzak geschreven
melodie gepubliceerd,
waarvan de titel
Highland Cathedral
was ge nspireerd op een
beroemde neogotische kerk
in het Schotse Glasgow.
Sindsdien heeft het stuk
gaandeweg de wereld
veroverd en wordt het
vaak ten gehore gebracht
als enthousiast eerbetoon
aan Schotland. Anthony
Grögers versie voor
vier strijkers combineert
dat gepassioneerde
karakter met onmiskenbare
echo’s van de
Schotse sfeer van het
origineel. Een geliefde
klassieker, veelvuldig
gespeeld op bruiloften,
is nu dus ook
verkrijgbaar in een
arrangement voor
strijkkwartet.

The
concerts and exhibits of
the Cleveland Museum of
Art were an important
formative influence for
me during my student
days. So when the
invitation came to create
a new work celebrating
this institution on its
seventy-fifth
anniversary, I was not
only happy to accept, but
knew immediately that I
wanted to write a piece
that would somehow relate
specifically to the
museum. I decided to make
the work a reflection on
a painting in the
museum's collection:
Zurbaran's The Holy House
of Nazareth. My quartet
is not program music in a
narrative sense, but
rather a kind of
meditation that takes its
tone from this painting's
remarkable integration of
intense affect,
mysterious repose and
secret geometry. Besides
Zurbaran's painting, the
piece is occupied with a
purely musical object of
contemplation: the hymn
tune Picardy, best known
with the text Let All
Mortal Flesh Keep
Silence. This tune
permeates the harmonic
and melodic life of the
quartet, sometimes
appearing in a very
simple, straightforward
fashion, but often hidden
amidst more complex
structures. I was
attracted to the melody
for its musical
qualities, but later
realized that the hymn's
text also resonates with
the mood of the painting;
the words speak of a
reverent awe, of cherubim
with sleepless eye, and
of the mystery of the
Incarnate Word who must
suffer: King of kings,
yet born of Mary...

My third
quartet is laid out in a
three-movement structure,
with each movement based
on an early, middle, and
late work of the great
American impressionist
painter Mary Cassatt.
Although the movements
are separate, with
full-stop endings, the
music is connected by a
common scale-form,
derived from the name
MARY CASSATT, and by a
recurring theme that
introduces all three
movements. I see this
theme as Mary's Theme, a
personality that stays
intact while undergoing
gradual change. I
The Bacchante (1876)
[Pennsylvania Academy of
Fine Arts, Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania] The
painting shows a young
girl of Italian or
Spanish origin, playing a
small pair of cymbals.
Since Cassatt was trying
very hard to fit in at
the French Academy at the
time, she painted a lot
of these subjects, which
were considered typical
and universal. The style
of the painting doesn't
yet show Cassatt's
originality, except
perhaps for certain
details in the face.
Accordingly the music for
this movement is
Spanish/Italian, in a
similar period-style but
using the musical
signature described
above. The music begins
with Mary's Theme,
ruminative and slow, then
abruptly changes to an
alla Spagnola-type fast
3/4 - 6/8 meter. It
evokes the
Spanish-influenced music
of Ravel and Falla.
Midway through,
there's an accompanied
recitative for the viola,
which figures large in
this particular movement,
then back to a truncated
recapitulation of the
fast music. The overall
feeling is of a
well-made, rather
conventional movement in
a contemporary
Spanish/Italian style.
Cassatt's painting, too,
is rather conventional.
II At the Opera
(1880) [Museum of Fine
Arts, Boston,
Massachusetts]
This painting is one of
Cassatt's most well known
works, and it hangs in
the Museum of Fine Arts
in Boston. The painting
shows a woman alone in a
box at the opera house,
completely dressed
(including gloves) and
looking through opera
glasses at someone or
something that is NOT on
the stage. Across the
auditorium from her, but
exactly at eye level, is
a gentleman with opera
glasses intently watching
her - though it is not
him that she's looking
at. It's an intriguing
picture. This
movement is far less
conventional than the
first movement, as the
painting is far less
conventional. The music
begins with a rapid,
Shostakovich-type
mini-overture lasting
less than a minute, based
on Mary's Theme. My
conjecture is that the
woman in the painting has
arrived late to the
opera, busily stumbling
into her box. What
happens next is a kind of
collage, a kind of
surrealistic overlaying
of two different
elements: the foreground
music, at first is a
direct quotation of
Soldier's Chorus from
Gounod's FAUST (an opera
Cassatt would certainly
have heard in the
brand-new Paris Opera
House at that time),
played by Violin II,
Viola, and Cello. This
music is played sul
ponticello in the melody
and col legno in the
marching accompaniment.
On top of this, the first
violin hovers at first on
a high harmonic, then
descends into a slow
melody, completely
separate from the Gounod.
It's as if the woman in
the painting is hearing
the opera onstage but is
not really interested in
it. Then the cello joins
the first violin in a
kind of love-duet (just
the two of them, at
first). This music isn't
at all Gounod-derived;
it's entirely from the
same scale patterns as
the first movement and
derives from Mary's Theme
and its scale. The music
stays in a kind of
dichotomy feeling,
usually
three-against-one, until
the end of the movement,
when another Gounod
melody, Valentin's aria
Avant de quitter ce lieux
reappears in a kind of
coda for all four
players. It ends
atmospherically and
emotionally disconnected,
however. The overall
feeling is a kind of
schizophrenic,
opera-inspired dream.
III Young Woman in
Green, Outdoors in the
Sun (1909) [Worcester Art
Museum, Massachusetts]
The painting, one
of Cassatt's last, is
very simple: just a
figure, looking sideways
out of the picture. The
colors are pastel and yet
bold - and the woman is
likewise very
self-assured and not in
the least demure. It is
eight minutes long, and
is all about melody -
three melodies, to be
exact (Young Woman,
Green, and Sunlight). No
angst, no choppy rhythms,
just ever-unfolding
melody and lush
harmonies. I quote one
other French composer
here, too: Debussy's song
Green, from Ariettes
Oubliees. 1909 would have
been Debussy's heyday in
Paris, and it makes
perfect sense musically
as well as visually to do
this. Mary Cassatt
lived her last several
years in near-total
blindness, and as she
lost visual acuity, her
work became less sharply
defined - something akin
to late water lilies of
Monet, who suffered
similar vision loss. My
idea of making this
movement entirely melodic
was compounded by having
each of the three
melodies appear twice,
once in a pure form, and
the second time in a more
diffuse setting. This
makes an interesting two
ways form:
A-B-C-A1-B1-C1.
String Quartet No.3
