Cinema has
always aimed to do one
thing above all else:
arouse emotions. Yet
however exciting,
entertaining or
fascinating a story might
be, its full impact is
really only felt with the
help of the right music.
While most original
soundtracks demand a
large orchestra, a much
smaller ensemble is
sufficient: Anthony
Gröger has taken ten
of the all-time most
beautiful film scores and
created stunning
arrangements for string
quartet. In keeping with
the Pops for String
Quartet series, this
volume also includes an
optional third violin
part in case a viola is
not available. This is an
indispensable collection
for any
occasion!
Van
oudsher is de film
bovenal bedoeld geweest
om emotie op te roepen.
Maar hoe spannend,
vermakelijk of boeiend
een verhaal ook is, pas
met de ondersteuning van
de juiste muziek komt het
volledig tot zijn recht.
Hoewel de meeste
originele soundtracks een
orkest met een grote
bezetting vereisen,
voldoet in dit geval een
kleiner ensemble. Anthony
Gröger heeft tien van
de mooiste
filmmuziektitels
verzameld en er prachtige
arrangementen voor
strijkkwartet van
gemaakt. Net als bij de
andere uitgaven in de
serie Pops for String
Quartet bevat ook
deze bundel een optionele
derde vioolpartij, voor
het geval er geen
altviool beschikbaar is.
Een fraaie collectie met
nummers voordiverse
gelegenheden!
Seit jeher
möchte Kino vor allem
eines: Emotionen wecken.
Doch wie spannend,
lustig, interessant eine
Story auch immer sein mag
erst mit Hilfe der
passenden Filmmusik kann
sie ihre volle Wirkung
entfalten. Während die
meisten Soundtracks im
Original ein groß
besetztes Orchester
erfordern, genügt hier
bereits eine viel
kleinere Besetzung:
Anthony Gröger hat
sich zehn der
schönsten
Filmmusik-Titel aller
Zeiten vorgenommen und
wirkungsvoll für
Streichquartett
bearbeitet. Eine
unverzichtbare Sammlung
für Anlässe jeder
Art, bei denen ein
Streichquartett gefragt
ist. Wie in der Serie
Pops for String
Quartet üblich,
enthält das Set auch
eine optionale
dritteViolinstimme für
den Fall, dass keine
Bratsche zur Verfügung
steht.

My third
quartet is laid out in a
three-movement structure,
with each movement based
on an early, middle, and
late work of the great
American impressionist
painter Mary Cassatt.
Although the movements
are separate, with
full-stop endings, the
music is connected by a
common scale-form,
derived from the name
MARY CASSATT, and by a
recurring theme that
introduces all three
movements. I see this
theme as Mary's Theme, a
personality that stays
intact while undergoing
gradual change. I
The Bacchante (1876)
[Pennsylvania Academy of
Fine Arts, Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania] The
painting shows a young
girl of Italian or
Spanish origin, playing a
small pair of cymbals.
Since Cassatt was trying
very hard to fit in at
the French Academy at the
time, she painted a lot
of these subjects, which
were considered typical
and universal. The style
of the painting doesn't
yet show Cassatt's
originality, except
perhaps for certain
details in the face.
Accordingly the music for
this movement is
Spanish/Italian, in a
similar period-style but
using the musical
signature described
above. The music begins
with Mary's Theme,
ruminative and slow, then
abruptly changes to an
alla Spagnola-type fast
3/4 - 6/8 meter. It
evokes the
Spanish-influenced music
of Ravel and Falla.
Midway through,
there's an accompanied
recitative for the viola,
which figures large in
this particular movement,
then back to a truncated
recapitulation of the
fast music. The overall
feeling is of a
well-made, rather
conventional movement in
a contemporary
Spanish/Italian style.
Cassatt's painting, too,
is rather conventional.
II At the Opera
(1880) [Museum of Fine
Arts, Boston,
Massachusetts]
This painting is one of
Cassatt's most well known
works, and it hangs in
the Museum of Fine Arts
in Boston. The painting
shows a woman alone in a
box at the opera house,
completely dressed
(including gloves) and
looking through opera
glasses at someone or
something that is NOT on
the stage. Across the
auditorium from her, but
exactly at eye level, is
a gentleman with opera
glasses intently watching
her - though it is not
him that she's looking
at. It's an intriguing
picture. This
movement is far less
conventional than the
first movement, as the
painting is far less
conventional. The music
begins with a rapid,
Shostakovich-type
mini-overture lasting
less than a minute, based
on Mary's Theme. My
conjecture is that the
woman in the painting has
arrived late to the
opera, busily stumbling
into her box. What
happens next is a kind of
collage, a kind of
surrealistic overlaying
of two different
elements: the foreground
music, at first is a
direct quotation of
Soldier's Chorus from
Gounod's FAUST (an opera
Cassatt would certainly
have heard in the
brand-new Paris Opera
House at that time),
played by Violin II,
Viola, and Cello. This
music is played sul
ponticello in the melody
and col legno in the
marching accompaniment.
On top of this, the first
violin hovers at first on
a high harmonic, then
descends into a slow
melody, completely
separate from the Gounod.
It's as if the woman in
the painting is hearing
the opera onstage but is
not really interested in
it. Then the cello joins
the first violin in a
kind of love-duet (just
the two of them, at
first). This music isn't
at all Gounod-derived;
it's entirely from the
same scale patterns as
the first movement and
derives from Mary's Theme
and its scale. The music
stays in a kind of
dichotomy feeling,
usually
three-against-one, until
the end of the movement,
when another Gounod
melody, Valentin's aria
Avant de quitter ce lieux
reappears in a kind of
coda for all four
players. It ends
atmospherically and
emotionally disconnected,
however. The overall
feeling is a kind of
schizophrenic,
opera-inspired dream.
III Young Woman in
Green, Outdoors in the
Sun (1909) [Worcester Art
Museum, Massachusetts]
The painting, one
of Cassatt's last, is
very simple: just a
figure, looking sideways
out of the picture. The
colors are pastel and yet
bold - and the woman is
likewise very
self-assured and not in
the least demure. It is
eight minutes long, and
is all about melody -
three melodies, to be
exact (Young Woman,
Green, and Sunlight). No
angst, no choppy rhythms,
just ever-unfolding
melody and lush
harmonies. I quote one
other French composer
here, too: Debussy's song
Green, from Ariettes
Oubliees. 1909 would have
been Debussy's heyday in
Paris, and it makes
perfect sense musically
as well as visually to do
this. Mary Cassatt
lived her last several
years in near-total
blindness, and as she
lost visual acuity, her
work became less sharply
defined - something akin
to late water lilies of
Monet, who suffered
similar vision loss. My
idea of making this
movement entirely melodic
was compounded by having
each of the three
melodies appear twice,
once in a pure form, and
the second time in a more
diffuse setting. This
makes an interesting two
ways form:
A-B-C-A1-B1-C1.

In these
lieder, Robert Schumann
seems to mirror his life
full of crises. The
composition coincides
with the first
signs of his illness. The
picture of the drowning
Ophelia evoked in the
first chant
conjures up the image of
his suicide attempt three
years later. Aribert
Reimann's transcription
seems to be opposed to
Schumann's endeavours to
make stronger use of 'the
development of the
accompanying instrument,
the piano'. On the other
hand, the complete
integration of the vocal
part in the musical
setting of the string
quartet confirms
Schumann's assessment
that the singing voice
alone cannot 'express
everything; apart from
the expression of the
whole, even subtle
nuances of the poem shall
become apparent'. These
transcriptions show
Reimann's sense of timbre
and his many years of
experience as a lied
accompanist.
