With
serious string players
this Latvian composer has
long been recognized
because of his sonorous
tonal concepts and his
modal, occasionally
aleatoric idiom. Works
like 'Cantabile per
Archi' or 'Musica
dolorosa' are already
quite well-known, but
newer pieces like the
violin concerto with
string orchestra 'Fernes
Licht', commissioned by
Gidon Kremer for his
Kremerata Baltica, are
also gaining wide
international exposure.
The genre of the string
quartet is well
represented in Vasks'
output. The 2nd string
quartet 'Summer Tunes'
(ED 8512) has been
published for some time
and the 3rd was premiered
by the Kronos Quartet who
were so enthused that
they commissioned a 4th
quartet. In 1996,
prompted by a complete
recording of all his
string quartets by the
Miami String Quartet for
Conifer Records Vasks
totally revised his early
1st string quartet 1996,
it is here presented for
the first time in a
printed edition.

The
Second and Third Quartets
were conceived at the
same time; indeed, their
composition intermingled,
over half of No. 3 being
sketched before No. 2 was
completed. Accordingly,
they share similar
material but, like the
intertwining blood of
cousins, their natures
differ: No. 2 being
somewhat acerbic and
declamatory, No. 3 more
lyric and gentler. An
annunicatory 'leaping
motive' (derived from a
motto generated by my
name) opens Quartet No. 2
and inhabits the course
of the piece as a
cyclical binding-force. A
five-note motive, usually
very deliberate, also
keeps recurring like an
insistent caller. All
three movements are based
on tonal centers (I on B
and E, II on D, III on C)
and the harmonic
'grammar' spoken tends to
recall the jazz world of
my youth. To hopefully
achieve a certain
classical ambience was
one of the goals of this
piece, and all three
movements have
traditional forms. The
first movement is a
modified Sonata-Allegro
design, with a
severely-truncated
recapitulation balanced
by a lengthy, and
decaying Coda. The second
movement is a set of
strophic variants and an
epilogue interspersed
with both solo ritornelli
and first-movement
material (the motto and
the five-note motive) in
the nature of a
fantasia-like
'call-and-response.' It
is dedicated to the
memory of the American
mezzo-soprano Jan
DeGaetani. The third
movement is a modified
Rondo (ABACBA) which
evolves out of the
opening motto. All three
movements make much use
of canonic stretti,
similar gestures, and
repetition. For example,
the climax of movement
III's Rondo throws the
first movement back at us
again, as if the players
were reluctant to let it
go, so that the entire
piece could perhaps be
viewed as a single large,
extended, Sonata
movement, with
introduction and
Coda. The Second and
Third Quartets were

Lasting 27
minutes, Kalevi
Aho’s String
quartet no. 4 (2021) is
in four movements. The
first, Nocturne, begins
with a hazily muted
melody dominated by the
interval of a minor third
on the second violin.
Though the first movement
begins in nocturnal mood,
there is also some more
forceful music around the
middle. The second
movement, Allegro
capriccioso, is quick
with quirky rhythms. At
times tempestuous, it
faces the players with
the biggest technical and
virtuoso challenges. The
following Largo is slow.
A couple of times in the
first half it is
dominated by soft,
mysterious harmonies. The
tempo marking of the
virtuosic closing
movement is Presto,
leggiore. The movement
begins with quick,
flickering,
will-o’-the-wisp-l
ike music. It later
builds up to an extremely
violent climax dominated
by tremolo figures on the
second violin and thick
chords on the other
instruments. The
flickering music of the
beginning returns at the
end, before dissolving
into silence.
This
product includes the full
score (A4) and the parts

Richard
Reed Parry 's Quartet For
Heart And Breath is an
innovative and original
piece based on the
performers' own bodily
rhythms. This sheet music
is for String Quartet
(Violin/Violin/Viola/Cell
o). Richard Reed Parry is
familiarto millions as
the lead singer of rock
band Arcade Fire, yet his
foray into classical
music is equally worthy
of attention. Quartet For
Heart And Breath is an
experiment into using the
performers' heartbeats
and breathing to dictate
the tempo. The performers
are instructed to wear
stethoscopes in order to
listen to their
heartbeats closely, while
one complete breath
corresponds to one bar
and two heartbeats equal
two crotchets. The result
is a quiet and subtle
piece, as each instrument
has to play softly so as
to be able to keep in
time. The piece also has
a naturally occurring
dynamism in that the
players' heart rates
constantly change as the
performance goes on, with
each instrument falling
in and out of sync
sometimes culminating in
a beautiful moment of all
heartbeats matching each
other. Interestingly,
this unique aspect means
that no performance will
ever be the same, meaning
to hear or play this
composition will be a
truly once in a lifetime
experience. Quartet For
Heart And Breath is a
superbly one-of-a-kind
composition by Richard
Reed Parry . Commissioned
by the Kronos Quartet,
this piece makes for a
wonderfully distinctive
performance, with
fascinating implications
for the connection
between the music and the
body.

George
Perle, now an instructor
at the University of
Louisville, was born in
1915, in Bayonne, New
Jersey. He began work on
the Third String Quartet
in 1946 in Japan and
completed it the
following year in New
York City. It was
presented for the first
time at a concert of the
Forum Group of the
International Society for
Contemporary Music, in
New York City on Feb. 7,
1948. The work is based
on the following
twelve-tone series, and
its permutations and
transpositions: d;
e-flat; a-flat; b; c;
f-sharp; c-sharp;
f-natural; g; a; e;
b-flat. The score is
arranged in the present
publication in such a way
as to render unnecessary
the extraction of parts
for performance. Each
player may read his part
directly from a copy of
the score.
