TACHU N (SPRING OUTING) was composed in 2021 for “The Joy Project,” to commission uplifting works for performance at free outdoor concerts in the San Francisco Bay region. The work’s title comes from the annual Chinese festival when people go outdoors and travel, to welcome the arrival of the new Spring season. This cheerful 5-minute work features energetic melodic lines in unison, contrasting with vivid rhythmic patterns, which the composer indicates as expressing our excitement upon breathing the fresh Spring air.
Tachun (Spring Outing) was commissioned by and dedicated to the Del Sol String Quartet as a part of The Joy Project in 2021. Tachun is also the name of a Chinese traditional festival when people go outdoors and travel, to welcome the arrival of the new spring season each year. Here is a statement from the Del Sol String Quartet about this project:“Del Sol has commissioned a body of short musical works written to give joy. As our gift to our community during these times, we are performing these pieces in numerous free concerts at public settings around the Bay Area — parks, schoolyards, open spaces — where people can soak up some musical “joy” while safely practicing social distancing in the open air.”My string quartet has active melodic lines in unison, contrasting with vivid rhythmic patterns, to express our excitement when we breathe the fresh air.

With its simple, memorable melody and folk-song style, You Are My Sunshine is undoubtedly one of America’s most successful old-time music love songs. Its success in the 1940s massively boosted the popularity of the song’s singer and guitarist, Jimmie Davis and Charles Mitchell, so much so that it helped to springboard Davis’ political career, culminating in his successful election as Governor of Louisiana in 1944. Dezaire’s skilful arrangement retains the quintessential country sound of the original with this new string quartet orchestration.

You Are My Sunshine is een liefdesliedje in de Amerikaanse old-time-muziektraditie met een eenvoudige, volksliedachtige en bijzonder aanstekelijke melodie. Zanger Jimmie Davis en gitarist Charles Mitchell werden er in de jaren 1940 enorm populair mee. Het succes gaf Davis zelfs een beslissende boost in zijn politieke carrière, die hij bekroonde met zijn verkiezing tot gouverneur van de Amerikaanse staat Louisiana. Nico Dezaire heeft met dit arrangement de kenmerkende countrysound van het origineel op vakkundige wijze bewerkt voor strijkkwartet.

You Are My Sunshine ist ein Lovesong in der Tradition der US-amerikanischen Old-Time Music, dessen einfache, volksliedartige Melodie sich sofort einprägt. Sänger Jimmie Davis und Gitarrist Charles Mitchell erlangten mit diesem Titel in den 1940er-Jahren eine enorme Popularität. Bei Davis beflügelte dieser Erfolg sogar maßgeblich seine politische Karriere, die er mit seiner Wahl zum Gouverneur des US-Bundesstaats Louisiana krönen konnte. Nico Dezaire setzt in seiner Bearbeitung den typischen Country-Sound des Originals gekonnt auf eine Streichquartett-Besetzung um.

You Are My Sunshine est une chanson d’amour dans la tradition de la Old-time music américaine, dont la mélodie simple aux résonnances folkloriques reste dans la tête. Gr ce ce titre, le chanteur Jimmie Davis et le guitariste Charles Mitchell connurent une immense popularité dans les années 1940. Pour Davis, ce succès donna même un tournant déterminant sa carrière politique puisqu’il fut élu gouverneur de l’État de Louisiane. Dans son arrangement pour quatuor cordes, Nico Dezaire transpose avec talent les sonorités country caractéristiques de l’original.

Composed by Lotta Wennäkoski. Classical, contemporary. Score & parts. Fennica Gehrman #55011-875-1. Published by Fennica Gehrman (FG.55011-875-1).

Lotta Wennäkoski's Pige (2021-2022) for string quartet was commissioned to be paired with the Death and the Maiden quartet by Franz Schubert (pige is Danish for girl). The composer tells:

The first movement Vorüber, ach, vorüber! is based on the first half of Schubert’s lied lying behind his The Death and the Maiden quartet. The maiden’s song in the beginning of the lied has not found its way to his string quartet, so I wanted to use this material in mine. The second move-ment Daktylus borrows its idea from the haunting pulse of Schubert’s chant of Death. Something fierce and something soundless can be heard here - along with other variants on the dactyl rhythm. For example, I’ve written a lyrically flowing melody based on the same rhythmic pattern (long-short-short).
Schubert’s quartet is wonderful music and of course a cornerstone of the repertoire, and the death and the maiden is a strong, tempting and gloomy motif in art history. On the other hand, I just couldn’t help seeing the motif also as a - somewhat passé - image of an old male desiring the ulti-mately young female body. The third movement thus turns its gaze to the girl herself. Pigen og scrapbogen, The Girl and the Scrapbook, is joyful textural music - compiled of fragments and freely handled quotations that might spring to mind when thinking of a vital girl’s life.
