The
Composer writes: 'In
February 1987 I saw in
the Tate Gallery in
London a painting by the
Victorian English painter
John William Waterhouse.
The painting kept
haunting my memory, and
as I at the same time
planned to write a piece
for solo Viola, my ideas
for the music and the
memory of the painting
fused more and more. I
decided, then, to let my
piece borrow the title of
Waterhouse's painting:
The Lady Of Shalott. The
picture of a mad-like,
pale, and perhaps singing
woman alone in a boat
without sculls, which
calmly slips out from the
rush growth of the river
is an illustration for
the ending of Alfred
Tennyson's poem by the
same title, which again
plaits into the old
English legends about
King Arthur. My piece
tries to meander - like
the river at Camelot -
among these sources.' As
suggested above the piece
was originally written
for Viola solo. This
version for String
Quartet is from 1993.

comments: Death and
the Maiden.This is a
Catalan folk song that
captivated me the very
first time I heard it. In
1974 I decided to indulge
myself by using this song
for a composition for
violin and string
orchestra (and solo
violin with a quartet).
The popular theme takes
the form of a long violin
solo based on triplets
with a background of soft
harmonies played by the
rest of the musicians.
--Jordi
Cervello
Comenta
rios del Espanol: La
muerte y la doncella. Se
trata de una melodia
popular catalana que
desde su primer momento
me cautivo. Fue en 1974
cuando me decidi a
recrearme con ella a
traves de una composicion
para violin y orquesta de
cuerda (tambien violin
solista con cuarteto). El
tema popular encuadra un
largo solo del solista a
base de tresillos
inspirados en el
Coral-Preludio de una
cantata de J. S. Bach.

The
Second and Third Quartets
were conceived at the
same time; indeed, their
composition intermingled,
over half of No. 3 being
sketched before No. 2 was
completed. Accordingly,
they share similar
material but, like the
intertwining blood of
cousins, their natures
differ: No. 2 being
somewhat acerbic and
declamatory, No. 3 more
lyric and gentler. An
annunicatory 'leaping
motive' (derived from a
motto generated by my
name) opens Quartet No. 2
and inhabits the course
of the piece as a
cyclical binding-force. A
five-note motive, usually
very deliberate, also
keeps recurring like an
insistent caller. All
three movements are based
on tonal centers (I on B
and E, II on D, III on C)
and the harmonic
'grammar' spoken tends to
recall the jazz world of
my youth. To hopefully
achieve a certain
classical ambience was
one of the goals of this
piece, and all three
movements have
traditional forms. The
first movement is a
modified Sonata-Allegro
design, with a
severely-truncated
recapitulation balanced
by a lengthy, and
decaying Coda. The second
movement is a set of
strophic variants and an
epilogue interspersed
with both solo ritornelli
and first-movement
material (the motto and
the five-note motive) in
the nature of a
fantasia-like
'call-and-response.' It
is dedicated to the
memory of the American
mezzo-soprano Jan
DeGaetani. The third
movement is a modified
Rondo (ABACBA) which
evolves out of the
opening motto. All three
movements make much use
of canonic stretti,
similar gestures, and
repetition. For example,
the climax of movement
III's Rondo throws the
first movement back at us
again, as if the players
were reluctant to let it
go, so that the entire
piece could perhaps be
viewed as a single large,
extended, Sonata
movement, with
introduction and
Coda. The Second and
Third Quartets were
conceived at the same
time; indeed, their

'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.
