The
First String Quartet in C
major, Op. 37, was
written in the autumn of
1917 and earned
Szymanowski the first
prize in a competition
organized by the Ministry
of Religious and in a
competition organized by
the Ministry of Religious
and Educational Affairs
in January 1922. The
First String Quartet is
notable for its clar and
simple construction. The
first movement is in the
formof a sonata allegro;
the Andantino semplice
(in modo iuna canzone) in
the middle is a cross
between ternary and
variation form. The final
Scherzando alla burlesca
also keeps to the form of
a sonata allegro. The
combinations and
proportions of formal
factors and the treatment
of thematic material
betray a fairly
conventional adoption of
classical models.
Similarly, the expressive
and structural use of
melodic material shows a
respect for traditional
norms. Szymanowski
created, in other works
from the same period, his
own individual type of
melodic line, which was
strongly expressive and
achieved its effect
chiefly by its tonal
qualieties; nevertheless
in this Quartet he
returns to a fluid,
cantilena-like,
symmetrically shaped
melodic line, which runs
along in broad phrases of
a concentrated,
reflective character.
Melody becomes the chief
factor in the development
of the form, both in
thematic usage and in the
application of a more
polyphonic texture.
Harmonic and tonal means
are considerably
simplified in the Quartet
[]. Most of the writing
is linear, or horizontal,
with individual treatment
of each part, the
parallel continuation of
the four sound planes,
almost a matter of
principle. The functions
of the particular
instruments in realizing
these planes are
constantly changing,which
accounts for the even
greater variedy of
tone-colour. The decision
to forego experiment with
forms and sonorities is
reflectedin the overall
approach to musical
expression. The
predominant atmosphere of
restrained emotion, quiet
lyricism and serenity is
strongly suggestive of
classical aestetic
models. (Based on Zofia
Helman Commentary on
Szymanowski Complete
Edition, Vol. B6) (II)
The ''Second String
Quartet'' represents an
interesting attempt to
revert to classical form
coupled with the new
harmonic and tonal
vocabulary worked out
previously in the
''Slopiewnie'', ''Stabat
Mater'' and ''Mazurkas''.
It was also the first
time the composer had
used folk elements in the
framework of a major
classical form. The
''Second String Quartet''
is in a special category
among Szymanowski's
works. Though it dates
from the composer was
still occupied with folk
music, it nevertheless
shows him returning to
classical models, but at
the same time using an
aesthetic of subjective
expression, which gives
the work its own
individual stamp. The
''Second String Quartet''
synthesis of the various
directions in which
Szymanowski was
attempting to develop.
The sonority and texture

amazed with its
overwhelming beauty,

moved. Moving of a fish

in an aquarium, has the

movement in a flock is
based on the following

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

balancing out with each
other, following the
principle of least

rules can be applied to

Norgard 's Gennem Torne /
Through Thorns (2003)
Harp Concerto No. 2 -
Passage for Harp Solo
with Flute, Clarinet and
String Quartet. Premiered
by Tine Rehling (Harp)
and the Esbjerg Ensemble,
conducted by Kaisa Roose
at the Concert Hall of
the Western Jutland
Academy of Music,
Esbjerg, 28th January
2004. Programme Note
THROUGH THORNS has a
duration of about 20
minutes, in one
continuous movement, thus
the subtitle passage. The
work is scored for harp
solo, flute, clarinet and
string quartet. The title
is borrowed from the
lines from an old Virgin
Mary Hymn: Mary wanders
through thorns, a hymn
which ends with the
following line: then
roses grew forth amongst
thethorns. I only came
across the poem after
finishing the
composition, the passage
of which is a journey of
sometimes dramatic
events, concluding with a
rose-blooming, as does
the hymn. For
THROUGH THORNS to borrow
its title from a Virgin
Mary Hymn has to do with
the musical material and
current of the piece,
which brings motives from
an earlier choral piece
of mine, FLOS UT ROSA
(Latin for a flower like
a rose), and the rose in
question is of course the
one which grew forth when
the Virgin Mary gave
birth to the Infant Jesus
in a hitherto unheard-of
fashion, a NOVA GENITURA
(new birth), which is the
title of another work of
mine that also derives
its material from my
original rose-melody from
1975. THROUGH
THORNS is dedicated to
Tine Rehling, and
together with her I have
tried to expand the
sonorities of the harp,
by exploring existing
techniques and their more
remote regions, in order
to gain access to new
territory and new
soundscaoes, as realised
by the constantly
experimentally-minded and
virtuoso player.
