This type of
piece is traditionally
formed by a slow movement
and a fas movement joined
together. In this case
the lento is light in
feeling with a degree of
dynamism. Its form is
similar to an arch: the
music begins and ends in
silence.
The
Allegro con brio,
however, is ferocious,
fast and energetic. It
performance it is
important to create an
overall sensation of
agility. The entire
movement is based on a
short two-measure motive
which is developed and
passes from one
instrument to the other
throughout the rest of
the piece.

Holmboe'
s last quartet work,
which is
unofficially also
String Quartet No.
21, was the last
work he ever composed,
and was unfinished on his
death in 1996. His pupil
Per
Nørgård
has finished the quartet,
and himself characterizes
his contribution by
saying that the score
existed “in an only
partly completed form,
which could however be
written out with only a
few cases of
doubt”. With only
two movements and a
playing time of
about nine minutes it is
at its existing
length the shortest of
Holmboe's string
quartets. The first
movement takes the form
of one long arch in a
rocking triple time which
constantly shiftsamong
different tempo and pulse
sensations. At the same
time the rhythmic
energy increases
until the movement, in a
faster Con moto
tempo accelerates to
a more flowing 12/8 time,
coloured both
rhythmically by
cross-rhythms in
duple time and timbrally
by harmonics in the
viola. In its middle
section, Con fuoco,
the movement
culminates in both tempo
and expression until it
falls calm in brief
recapitulations in
reverse order of the
first two sections. The
rocking feeling continues
in the second movement,
but now at a more
extroverted level from
the outset, Allegro
and pizzicato. The
energy builds up
further as the mood
intensifies to Con
fuoco, while all
instruments go over to
bowed playing, but like
the first movement, this
movement ends Adagio
here however not as
a gradual attenuation but
through a sudden shift in
tempo to a calm,
imitative passage before
the movement slowly thins
out to the almost
inaudible through a last,
dense, open sounding
chord with a brief violin
solo above it.
The
quartet is dedicated to
Holmboe's wife MeLa May
Holmboe, and was given
its first performance by
the Kontra Quartet on
22nd March 1997 at the
Carl Nielsen Academy of
Music in Odense,
Denmark.

All In One for
3 String Quartets was
composed by Pelle
Gudmundsen-Holmgreen
in 2013 (String Quartet
No.12,13 and 14 played
simultaneously).
Gudmundsen
-Holmgreen has written a
collection of three new
string quartets: String
Quartet no. 12,
‘Each in
Each’; String
Quartet no. 13,
‘Mutual
Ordering’, and
String Quartet no. 14,
‘Well-Tuned
Sounds’. Each
quartet can be played on
its own; they can also
played simultaneously in
any combination. When all
three quartets are played
together, as they are
tonight, the combined
work is titled All in
One. About this
collection,
Gudmundsen-Holmgreenwrite
s:
'Some
years ago Kronos and the
vocal group Theatre of
Voices performed three
new pieces, which I had
written for the two
groups: one for Theatre
of Voices (Green), and
two for Kronos (New
Ground and No Ground).
They were played and sung
by each group
independently – but
also both groups together
concurrently, on top of
each other, as a final
gesture. The combined
pieces were called New
Ground Green and No
Ground
Green.
'David liked the idea
(and the result) of pairs
of quartets that could be
played both independently
and simultaneously, and
asked me if the vocal
quartet could be
transformed into a string
quartet. It could not. He
then asked me to repeat
the whole set-up with a
new pair of quartets,
adding also some
percussion instruments,
as was the case with
Green for Theatre of
Voices. Of course this
was tempting. Furthermore
David asked me to make
one of the two new
quartets a little easier
to play. 'I began to
work. The Kronos part of
the pair of quartets
turned out to be tough to
play, as David puts it.
Unfortunately the
‘easier’ one
was tough to play also!
So I had to write one
more, which was then a
little easier still (but
still not easy).
'The three new works can
be played separately and
on top of each other in
many different
combinations, resulting
in different kinds
of.

...c
alled dusk II for string
quartet draws its
inspiration from a line
in Samuel Beckett's short
story Lessness: 'Figment
dawn dispeller of
figments and the other
called dusk'.The work is
a kind of double
Chaconne, each part of
which contains 26 chords
based on specific
permutations of
fundamental notes and
their harmonics. Each of
the parts pass through
alternating, harmonically
contrasted planes,
becoming entwined in the
manner of a chimera
through their rhythmic
structure and dynamics.
This intermittently
produces a sort of 'inner
voice' which runs through
all four instruments. The
fundamental notes and
harmonics separate during
the progress of the
composition, becoming
independent and then
disintegrating. The
consonant harmony
resulting from the
amalgamation of the two
planes ultimately
collapses into a rigid
motor-like linearity.
