My 2nd
string quartet is one
single slow movement. The
piece does not directly
reflect Joseph Haydn's
Seven Last Words but I
would not have been able
to write it without
knowing that work. The
movements in Haydn's
quartets (except the
final earthquake) are
slow movements of
shocking forcefulness.
What makes the work even
more unsettling for me is
the relaxed and cheerful
acceptance of death (the
'smile' of the A major
pizzicato thirds!). When
I made myself familiar
with the subject matter
of crucifixion I
discovered that terms
like 'walking' and 'the
last walk' were most
important to me. My piece
starts at the final stage
of this experience. It
contains a number of lost
sounds, phrases of
futility which come from
nowhere and lead to
nowhere. The horrifying
rubbing and sanding of
skin and wood become the
'theme' of the piece
which is combined with
tonal, choral-like
melodies. I am interested
in how to make noises no
longer symbolize
desolation and tonal
phrases no longer
represent confidence.-

'A coming
and going...' - this is
how Barbara Heller
describes the essence of
her second string quartet
La Caleta ('small bay').
Barbara Heller got the
inspiration to write this
work from the calm,
gentle and constant
movements of the waves at
the beach of a small bay
on the isle of La Gomera.
The quiet, hot day is
reflected in the music:
The slow, calm, almost
quiet music with its open
form should be played and
heard inwardly. The music
comes from nowhere and
disappears into
nothingness like a big
wave. The tonal material,
consisting of wholetone
and semitone steps in
short descending and
ascending movements
produces cluster-like,
floating sounds. An
intense musical
experience, requiring
concentration and peace
of mind.
