1982 saw the publication of a melody for written for bagpipes by the name of Highland Cathedral—a name that draws its inspiration from a famous neo-Gothic church in Glasgow, Scotland. Since its first appearance, Highland Cathedral has enjoyed a triumphant tour around the globe, often acknowledged as an enthusiastic tribute to the nation of Scotland. Anthony Gröger’s version for string quartet combines this passionate character with unmistakeable echoes of the Scottish feel of the original work. Here then is this true classic, especially popular at wedding ceremonies, now arranged for string quartet.

In het jaar 1982 werd een voor doedelzak geschreven melodie gepubliceerd, waarvan de titel Highland Cathedral was ge nspireerd op een beroemde neogotische kerk in het Schotse Glasgow. Sindsdien heeft het stuk gaandeweg de wereld veroverd en wordt het vaak ten gehore gebracht als enthousiast eerbetoon aan Schotland. Anthony Grögers versie voor vier strijkers combineert dat gepassioneerde karakter met onmiskenbare echo’s van de Schotse sfeer van het origineel. Een geliefde klassieker, veelvuldig gespeeld op bruiloften, is nu dus ook verkrijgbaar in een arrangement voor strijkkwartet.

Im Jahre 1982 wurde eine für Dudelsack geschriebene Melodie erstmals veröffentlicht, deren Name Highland Cathedral auf einen berühmten neogotischen Kirchenbau im schottischen Glasgow anspielt. Seitdem hat sie ihren Siegeszug um die Welt angetreten und wird oft als enthusiastisches Bekenntnis zur schottischen Nation aufgefasst. Anthony Grögers Version für Streichquartett verbindet diesen leidenschaftlichen Charakter mit unverkennbaren Anklängen an das schottische Klangidiom des Originals. Ein beliebter Klassiker, vor allem auf Hochzeitsfeiern, steht somit nun auch Streichquartett-Formation en zur Verfügung.

Publ iée pour la première fois en 1982, la mélodie pour cornemuse « Highland Cathedral » fait référence une célèbre église de style néogothique de Glasgow, en Écosse. Souvent perçue comme un hommage enthousiaste la nation écossaise, cette mélodie entama dès lors une marche triomphale travers le monde. La version pour quatuor cordes d’Anthony Gröger allie ce même caractère passionné aux sonorités écossaises, indissociables du langage sonore caractéristique de l’original. Un classique très populaire, notamment lors des mariages, désormais disponible pour quatuor cordes.

My second String Quartet was written twenty years after the first, Opus 4 from 1978. The First Quartet is an obsessively contrapuntal work in one movement, which was no doubt influenced by my studies with David Diamond. I had always intended to return to the medium once I left the astringency of my earlier style, but it was only when the National Federation of Music Clubs commissioned a major chamber work, with unspecified instrumentation, to celebrate their 100th Anniversary that I was enabled to do so. The Second Quartet is in four movements: Moderato, Allegro isterico, an Andante theme with 11 variations, and the closing Allegro, which then returns to the tempo of the first movement. An audience member at the premiere told me that she heard echoes of recent tragic events such as the Oklahoma bombing in this work. While I had no such programmatic intent while writing the quartet, it was not an entirely incorrect assessment of the work's intended emotional impact. The quartet is pervaded by a sense of seriousness, even mournfulness. The second movement's scherzo is an aggressively animated piece of musical machinery. The third movement's Variations unfold into a greater variety of moods than the others - but the moments of lyricism are countered by aggressive or ironic outbursts. The final movement's attempt at triumph quickly subsides into a return of the first movement, before being transformed onto a sense of resignation and acceptance as the chromaticism of the opening theme is transformed into a pure and diatonic C-Major. The work received its world premiere by the Shanghai Quartet at the 100th Anniversary Congress of the National Federation of Music Clubs at the Congress Hotel in Chicago on August 19th 1998.

String Quartet B flat major
The first movement (Allegro, 4/4 time) is distinguished by a clear recurring structure characterized by a differentiation in compositional technique and tonal detail. The energetic / lyrical contrast manifests itself in a sequence of contrasting episodes - both within and outside the themes.
In its technical development the first movement is modelled on the first movement of Beethoven's String Quartet op. 18/1. Besides thematic, harmonic and figural echoes and similarities such as the time signature and the use of characteristic accentuation, the reduction of the movement's motifs to one central theme is of particular note.

In autumn 1895, after returning from New York once and for all, Dvorák took up his former position as teacher at the Prague Conservatory. This clearly had an inspiring impact on him because in the space of just four weeks he composed a new string quartet in G major. Together with the Quartet in A-flat major op. 105, it forms a glorious close to his chamber music oeuvre. Echoes of Bohemian folk music are here mixed with cantabile themes, while his motivic working shows him to be a master at the height of his powers. Even today, it seems almost as if we can feel the composer's satisfaction with this work: “I am working so easily and it is going so smoothly that I could not wish it better.”.
