Par RANDS BERNARD. Habituellement prêt pour l'expédition après 7-11 semaines. Once my String Quartet Music was completed, a copy of the score was sent to each consortium member. The premiere performances of this project were given on March 14, 2022, at Constellation in Chicago. My own String Quartet Music is now in the process of becoming one of several movements of String Quartet No. 4. / Date parution : 2023-10-31/ Répertoire / Quatuor à Cordes

Par HUREL PHILIPPE. Dans En filigrane, I'électronique, fixée, tient à donner l'illusion du temps réel. La musique étant rapide et rythmique, la texture se faisant dense, il serait difficile d'aller «pêcher» ici et là des petites interventions de chacun des quatre musiciens du Quatuor Tana et de les traiter en temps réel. La partie électronique est donc à la fois un prolongement instrumental mais aussi une forme organisée sur la base du micro-montage, les sons produits en studio étant volontairement courts et venant simplement iriser, colorer, spatialiser des événements qui donnent la clé de l'articulation formelle de la pièce. Au contraire, en arrière-plan, en filigrane donc, une longue séquence - les premières mesures instrumentales de la pièce enregistrées préalablement - se fait entendre à trois reprises. Cet arrière-plan est audible ou non, couvert volontairement par le quatuor ou apparaissant seul, tel une matrice qui a fait naître le matériau de la pièce. La musique est nerveuse, rythmique, et oscille entre I'idée de processus «objectif» identifiable et variation «subjective». Hauteurs et modes de jeux y ont la même place mais prennent tour à tour le dessus, en fonction de la dramaturgie de l'oeuvre. La partition est dédiée à mon père, disparu durant la composition de la pièce. Elle s'inscrit dans une série d'oeuvres récentes marquées par les deuils - So nah so fern, D'autre part, Ouelques traces dans l'air, Ritual trio - qui traitent de la disparition, de la résurgence et de la trace.

for clarinet, violin, viola, cello, piano and percussion. Par PTASZYNSKA MARTA. Composition was written in 2008 on a commission from the University of Chicago for the celebration of the 100th anniversary of Olivier Messiaen's birth. This tree movement work attempts to refer to Messiaen's work, in particular to the beautiful sonorities of the Quatour pour la fin du temps. From ancient time the rainbow has been considered a symbol of reconciliation of man with God, literally, associated with a colourful spectrum of lights. In this work this colorful spectrum is audible in a multitude of sonorities and timbres which are gradually and continouously changing, similary to the spectral development of the colours in a rainbow. / Date parution : 2023-06-01/ Répertoire / Clarinette, Violon, Alto, Violoncelle, Piano et Pe

in E flat major. Par STEFANI JAN. Composition was completed at the beginning of 1825, in stylistic terms it falls between Classicism and Romanticism. The straddling of stylistic epochs is evident in the four-movement design of the quartet, which refers do Classical solutions established during the previous centrury also in other genres. Nethertheles, it is worth drawing attention to the third movement, the minuet, which represented something of a testing ground for contrasting tradition with progress, history with the present, and formal with frivolous, which these popular dances may have symbolised. Stylistic hanges heading towards Romanticism are evident also in the way the work's melodic layer is organise. The Józef Stefani's advanced compositional skills prove his crucial contribution to the evolution of the string quartet on Polish soil. And the catchy melodic phases - for which Stefani ceirtanly had a gift - will stir the emotions of a many listener. / Date parution : 2023-06-01/ Répertoire / Quatuor à Cordes

Par HOSOKAWA TOSHIO. In my sixth work for a string quartet, there is a very simple melody concealed in the background. That melody (distant voices) is played within an extremely slow tempo, and the notes which form the melody gain different textures by becoming disassembled, and played by different techniques. In our daily lives, our inner voices become concealed by our daily customs. The act of composing, to me, is to find out that concealed distant voices, make those voices spatialized and construct them within the musical time. This work is dedicated to Alois Lageder.

Par KOLBUSZ ALEKSANDRA. Long before writing Passalega, I harboured the idea of creating some form of organically homogeneous chain of musical tensions evolving ever more distinctly into a musical utterance, although still indeterminate in terms of pitch. The tissues forming the chain of those tensions were of relatively simple design, yet in spite of this ? or perhaps because of it ? they were incredibly well suited to generating the expressive narrative that accompanied me throughout that entire pre-composition period. After recognising the character of the musical potential in that material, I considered it to be similar to Baroque rhetoric in terms of the refined clarity and smoothness of the gestures. Inspired by this, I sought to articulate this material in the fullest possible way by tracing a chain of swelling tensions, referring to a homogeneously polyphonic string quartet. / Date parution : 2022-12-12/ Répertoire / Quatuor à Cordes

Under a Ginkgo Tree in Tiergarden. Par KOSKINEN JUHA T.. Juha T. Koskinen (b. 1972) tells about his String quartet no. 2: 'Second string quartet (2014) is connected to great changes in my personal life. A few months after the score was finished, I became a father. The musical key moment is found at the very end of the work; Holy Night allusions are embedded to the finale of the work - con tenerezza, with ten-derness.' Duration: c. 14' This product includes the score and the parts. / Date parution : 2022-12-12/ Répertoire / Quatuor à Cordes
