Following
the premiere of my opera
An American Tragedy at
the Metropolitan Opera,
the President of the
Manhattan School of
Music, Robert Sirota,
called me and told me
that the American String
Quartet had asked him to
commission me as part of
the school's 90th
anniversary celebration.
I was very excited
because this meant that
the first new music I
would compose after my
largest piece ever would
be a string quartet for
my alma mater. I embraced
the chance to return to
chamber music with gusto
because I saw this not
only as an opportunity to
incorporate everything
I'd learned writing four
grand operas into an
intimate yet profound
genre but also as the
starting point of a new
direction in my
compositional thinking.
20 years separate my
first and second quartet
and it is not difficult
to hear the evolution
between the two. Tobias
Picker.

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.

This song cycle is a
setting of poems by
Solveig von Schoultz.
They describe some of the
most profound human
emotions: life and death,
love and human relations.
The music reflecs the
message of the words
contraststing quiet
meditation and
impassioned outbursts,
closely interweaving the
human voice and the
string quartet.
