Commissioned by the Presteigne Festival of Music and the Arts Limited with funds provided by the Arts Council of Wales for premiere in August 2012 by the Carducci String Quartet in St. Andrew?s Church Presteigne.Composer's Note'Some years ago I noted down the opening theme of what I anticipated would be a relatively Classical string quartet ?Classical? in the sense of the forms adopted plus perhaps a predominantly lyrical tone of voice. The commission for this work from the Presteigne Festival for their 30th anniversary in 2012 gave me the opportunity of putting into practice this long-held idea. It isdedicated to the Festival and to the Carducci Quartet whose career as much-admired friends and colleagues I have greatly enjoyed.The only break with ?classical? tradition is that there are five movements instead of four with two Scherzi as the second and third though both these are very short and contrasting. I found myself listening to Haydn?s string quartets a lot before and during the composition of this work and I hope the spirit of his delight in writing for this medium is echoed in my own music. The opening movement is in sonata form unusually for me and lyricism is I hope the basis of it though there is a good deal of activity at times. The Scherzo light and marked by frequently-changing rhythms is followed by an equally short but ferocious Perpetuum mobile marked Wild und rasch (one of my favourite German tempo markings). The fourth movement is an intense Adagio in which a single phrase uttered strongly in unison is gradually transformed into gentle diatonic chords before the close intermingled with cadenzas for cello for viola and for the two violins together. The finale (a Rondo) resumes the classical tone of the first movement but apart from one dance-like episode it builds up a fair head of steam towards a final Presto which however ascends slows and quietens towards a gentle summer sky at dusk.'

Set of parts for String Quartet No.4 by Poul Ruders dating from 2012. Score available: WH31600 Programme Note: It might be of interest for some to note that a gap of only six months separates the writing of my second and third quartets (1979) but a 33 year interval stands between the third and the present piece String Quartet No. 4.Which is in five movements and is about nothing but itself. The first movement 'Adagio - Presto alla breve - Adagio' is an overture of sorts lifting the lid as it were on the odd bit of what happens later on in the other movements.A portal into:The second movement 'Vivo scherzando' which is just that: a short (2 minutes only) fast and jocular piece leading up to the next movement: 'Adagio sognante' a slow and hushed dream-world paving the way for the pièce de resistance of the entire quartet: 'Presto alla breve' a ferociously fast tour de force for the four players who with that one under their belts can lean back a little (but only a little) and put the whole thing gently to bed in the fifth and final movement: a simple 'Adagio'. Off the record: my first string quartet (1972) has been withdrawn and is no more a fact that renders the numbering of the subsequent quartets a matter of personal conviction. Poul Ruders November 2012

Ursula Mamlok was born in Berlin in 1923, but was forced to emigrate via Ecuador to New York in 1939 because of her Jewish descent. In 2006 she returned to the city where she was born.Fünf Phantasiestücke, composed in 2012/13 for a small mixed ensemble consisting of oboe, violin, viola and violoncello, draws its appeal from the broad spectrum of emotions, feelings and states described musically in a minimum of time: Unruhig [Anxious] - Schwebend [Floating] - Munter [Lively] - Wie im Traum [Like a Dream] - Spielerisch [Playful] are the headings of the individual sections. Pieces as colourful as life: They are bursting with ingenuity and vital energy, coupled with a healthy dose of humour. / Hautbois, Violon, Violoncelle Et Alto

For 10 players. Par COULT TOM. These mature and well-crafted pieces for an ensemble of ten players showcase Coult 's ear for beguiling, burnished sonorities and his ability to harness the most complex of technical devices to rich emotional ends. Whilst his musical schemas are often audacious and innovative, the security and light touch with which Coult carries them out ensures that his Four Perpetual Motions are always as expressive as they are impressive. Coult was one of the winners of the 2012 Royal Philharmonic Society Composition Prize and was consequently commissioned to write this 13-minute work for the Philharmonia's Music of Today Series. Scored for: fl.ob.cl - tpt - perc(1): vib/mar/glsp/crot/2 bongos - harp - vln.vla.vlc.db / Niveau : 5 / Contemporary / Répertoire / Musique de Chambre

Sarah Feigin *1928: Reflections on a Niggun (1999) (6:05') Helene Liebmann 1795-nach 1835: Andante con Variation (7:06'). 3. Satz der Sonate op. 11 Die zweibändige Ausgabe unter dem Titel ?Miriam's Song' (Das Lied der Mirjam) ist jüdischen Komponistinnen des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts gewidmet. Sie beinhaltet Viola-Bearbeitungen der Werke von Fanny Hensel geb. Mendelssohn, Vally Weigl, Lena Stein-Schneider und Ruth Schonthal (Band 1). Das von Schonthal aufgenommene Allegro moderato ist eine Originalkomposition für Viola und Klavier. Im 2. Band begegnen wir den Komponistinnen Helene Liebmann und Sarah Feigin. Der Titel der Ausgabe bezieht sich auf die Rolle der Prophetin Mirjam, der älteren Schwester von Mose und Aaron. Beim Auszug des israelischen Volkes aus Ägypten führte sie nach der Durchquerung des Schilfmeeres den Freudentanz und Gesang der Frauen an (2. Buch Mose 15,20-21). Bezeichnenderweise hat der Berliner Maler Wilhelm Hensel im 19. Jahrhundert seine Frau, die Komponistin Fanny Hensel geb. Mendelssohn, als Mirjam porträtiert.Das Repertoire romantischer Konzertliteratur für Viola ist recht begrenzt. Den Herausgebern ist es ein Anliegen, den im Original für Violine, Violoncello oder Klarinette geschriebenen Werken durch die Bearbeitung zu größerer Verbreitung zu verhelfen.'Revue Musicale Suisse / Schweizer MusikzeitungApril 2012 Seite 39, Walter Amadeus Ammann: Kompositionen jüdischer Frauen :Die Prophetin Mirjam, Schwester von Moses und Aaron, führte die Frauen beim Auszug aus Ägypten bei Tanz und Gesang an. Das Motto der zwei Hefte Miriam's Song deckt sich mit dem Schicksal der sechs Komponistinnen, die hier mit Stücken von drei bis sieben Minuten Dauer vertreten sind. Fanny Hensel traute sich nicht, ihre Werke zu publizieren, Vally Weigl und Ruth Schonthal mussten wegen der Nazis emigrieren, Lena Stein wurde durch eine Schweizer Delegation aus Theresienstadt befreit, Helene Liebmann änderte 1820 in Berlin wegen antisemitischer Repressalien ihren Namen auf Liebelt und Sarah Feigin wanderte 1972 von Lettland nach Israel aus.Die für Violine, Violoncello oder Klarinette mit Klavier geschriebenen Stücke in mäßiger Schwierigkeit eignen sich vorzüglich für die Bratsche. Gefühlvoll: Adagio von Hensel und Nocturno von Stein. Kurzweilig: Old Time Burlesque von Weigl und Reflection on a Niggun von Feigin. Oder Sätze aus Sonaten: Das fließende Allegro moderato von Schonthal und die anspruchsvollen Variationen über la ci darem la mano von Liebmann. Die zwei Sonaten sind in der Furore Edition auch vollständig sowohl für Violoncello als auch für Bratsche und Klavier erhältlich.Miriam's Song, Werke von jüdischen Komponistinnen für Viola und Klavier, Band 1 und 2, hg. von Bella und Semjon Kalinowsky, fue10050/10064, ? 18.00/16.00, Furore Edition, Kassel 2011' / Alto Et Piano

Score-String Quartet No. 3 was commissioned in 1971 by the Julliard School for the Julliard String Quartet. It subdivides the ensemble into two duos which play contrasting movements both individually and at the same time exploring feelings of rivalry and cooperation. Elliott Carter (1908-2012) was a highly regarded American composer who continued writing innovative music into his 11th decade. His early influences included Charles Ives Gustav Holst Aaron Copland and Nadia Boulanger with whom he studied in Paris in the 1930s. He was known for always adapting and changing with the times and became more and more popular as his stature grew throughthe decades.

This three-minute piece for string quartet unites the typical features of Elena Kats-Chernin's compositions: blues harmony, a motor-like rhythm driven by syncopes, bittersweet melodies and austere-poetic sonority. Silver Eucalypt was written in 2006 and recorded in 2012 by the Acacia Quartet on their CD 'Blue Silence' released by Vexations840. Now there is finally a printed edition which may be a charming addition to the repertoire of professional and amateur musicians alike. / Quatuor A Cordes
