With his
first String Quartet in D
minor, op. 77, composed
in 1855, the native Swiss
composer Joachim Raff bid
a brilliant farewell to
Weimar. He had been there
as Franz Liszt's
assistant since 1850 and
had made a name for
himself in the city's art
scene - now he embarked
on new paths. He composed
his second Quartet in A
major, op. 90, already in
1857 in Wiesbaden, the
spa town that was to
become his home for 21
years. The two quartets
are unequivocal works:
orchestrally-conceived,
full of energetic vigor,
and at times
uncompromisingly modern.
They confidently continue
the Beethoven tradition
and attest at the same
time to Raff's intensive
confrontation with
Richard Wagner's music
during the Weimar years.
In his chamber music, the
composer wanted to
achieve progress in an
inherently historical way
and to ground the
individual substance in
existing forms, as he
told the Viennese
violinist Josef
Hellmesberger, who
launched opus 77. The
quartets, first published
in 1860/62, found
illustrious interpreters,
among them, the Muller
brothers' renowned
ensemble, to which opus
90 was also dedicated,
and Joseph Joachim.In
collaboration with the
Joachim-Raff-Archiv
Lachen (CH)
Some
eighteen years elapsed
between Raff's first
counted String Quartet
op. 77 and his Quartets
Nos. 6-8 op. 192,
combined as one work. As
such, Raff parted with
the weighty single opus
in quartet composition -
without, however,
sacrificing musical
quality.

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.

I fell
in love with the
remarkable singing of the
Tenores di Bitti on
hearing their recordings
as a student. Their
uniquely intense vocal
timbre, their harmony,
which seemed pure and
rough at once, and the
sense that this music
was, at root, not so much
about performance as
simply being together in
the world, in a community
of spirit. At the time, I
had no intention of using
this music to my own
creative ends, but now,
here we are: Sardinian
Songbook is the second in
a cycle of works for the
Ligeti Quartet, all based
on transcriptions of
music from different
throat-singing
traditions. Like string
quartets, the tenores
usually sing in groups of
four voices, but being
free from instruments
they stand very close
together enabling the
resonances of their
voices to blend and
interact in a special
way. The quartet, of
course, can only sit so
close before their bows
clash, so I have chosen
instead to reflect this
physical closeness
inversely, by getting the
players to stand
increasingly far from one
another as the piece
progresses. In so doing,
the initial state of
sonic blend gives way to
hocketing lines, opening
up the sense of
space.Christian Mason,

may be played separately
or as a collection. If
played together the
following order should be
