The
quartet begins with a
5-note motif, played in
unison that permeates
melodically and
harmonically throughout
the movement. The
energetic and hard-driven
character of the second
musical idea propels the
music forward with fast
moving notes and greater
urgency. It often
alternates with the more
lyrical rendition of the
5-note motif, yielding
contrasting sections.
After a brief coda, the
5-note motif concludes
the movement much the
same way it had begun but
with greater intensity.
The second movement
explores the world of
fantasy. To some extent
the beginning and the
ending of the movement
function as the opening
and closing doors that
separate the reality from
the dream and
subconscious. It is one
continuous movement in an
arch form that gradually
accelerates to an
expansive emotional
climax and returning
steadily to the surface
led by an ethereal solo
cello. The transcendent
ending is similar to the
beginning, though half
step higher. The third
movement begins boldly
with the 5-note motif
transformed into a dance
character in a compound
meter. The asymmetrical
meter of the Persian folk
music influences much of
the rhythmic character of
the movement. The return
of many materials from
earlier movements
interwoven into the
fabric of this movement
reinforces the cyclical
and organic character of
the quarter.
Particularly, a
mysterious passage,
reminiscence of the
second movement leading
to a brief full-blown
ballad is a favorite
moment of Ranjbaran's in
the quartet. A blazingly
virtuosic viola leads the
quartet to an uplifting
conclusion.

Andrea
Gabrieli was a major
force in moving the
classical music world
toward the more modern
Venetian school of the
Renaissance. Called by
Alfred Einstein One of
the greatest and most
influential masters of
the Renaissance period,
Gabrieli fully developed
the use of choirs of
voices and instruments,
often in opposition to
each other. David has
selected three examples
from a posthumous 1589
collection, advising that
the four-part pieces were
originally scored for
viols but are here
arranged for modern
instruments. And while
the arrangement will
accommodate a number of
players per part, single
players would be more
historically correct. As
important as Andrea was
to the Venetian School,
his fame would be
eclipsed by his nephew
and student, Giovanni
Gabrieli.

The
inspiration for Tread
Softly came from two
contrasting sources: the
religious music of early
medieval Spain, and
Debbie Locke’s
work of art
‘Retracing Your
Steps - Bristol
I’. Although over
a thousand years apart,
these two sources share a
common feature - a
powerful sense of
movement enclosed within
a static form. In early
Spanish music this
manifests in the use of
extended melisma, and in
Locke’s work it is
depicted through the
seemingly moving,
web-like form of the
central image. Tread
Softly explores the idea
of movement within stasis
through the use of a main
melodic gesture that
transforms very slowly,
but constantly,
throughout.

Two
years ago in Rome, I
encountered a murmuration
of starlings and I was
amazed with its
overwhelming beauty,
changing shape as it
moved. Moving of a fish
school that you can watch
in an aquarium, has the
same beauty and the
energy. According to the
scientists, their fine
movement in a flock is
based on the following
three simple rules: -
steer to avoid crowding
local flockmates - steer
towards the average
heading of local
flockmates - steer to
move towards the average
position (center of mass)
of local flockmates The
word Boids refers to
bird-like objects
(bird-oids), representing
the beauty of their
movements in a flock
which is a result of
balancing out with each
other, following the
principle of least
effort. I wonder if these
rules can be applied to
the way a string quartet
is shaped. Boids again
has been written as a
sequel to the piece Boids
(2017), a 4 minute study
for string quartet in the
frame of the Kronos
Quartet's educational
project 50 for the
Future. (Misato
