All In One for
3 String Quartets was
composed by Pelle
Gudmundsen-Holmgreen
in 2013 (String Quartet
No.12,13 and 14 played
simultaneously).
Gudmundsen
-Holmgreen has written a
collection of three new
string quartets: String
Quartet no. 12,
‘Each in
Each’; String
Quartet no. 13,
‘Mutual
Ordering’, and
String Quartet no. 14,
‘Well-Tuned
Sounds’. Each
quartet can be played on
its own; they can also
played simultaneously in
any combination. When all
three quartets are played
together, as they are
tonight, the combined
work is titled All in
One. About this
collection,
Gudmundsen-Holmgreenwrite
s:
'Some
years ago Kronos and the
vocal group Theatre of
Voices performed three
new pieces, which I had
written for the two
groups: one for Theatre
of Voices (Green), and
two for Kronos (New
Ground and No Ground).
They were played and sung
by each group
independently – but
also both groups together
concurrently, on top of
each other, as a final
gesture. The combined
pieces were called New
Ground Green and No
Ground
Green.
'David liked the idea
(and the result) of pairs
of quartets that could be
played both independently
and simultaneously, and
asked me if the vocal
quartet could be
transformed into a string
quartet. It could not. He
then asked me to repeat
the whole set-up with a
new pair of quartets,
adding also some
percussion instruments,
as was the case with
Green for Theatre of
Voices. Of course this
was tempting. Furthermore
David asked me to make
one of the two new
quartets a little easier
to play. 'I began to
work. The Kronos part of
the pair of quartets
turned out to be tough to
play, as David puts it.
Unfortunately the
‘easier’ one
was tough to play also!
So I had to write one
more, which was then a
little easier still (but
still not easy).
'The three new works can
be played separately and
on top of each other in
many different
combinations, resulting
in different kinds
of.

Though a
piano can always be
included, it is not an
essential requirement for
the performance of these
settings: in some of the
carols, two violins or
two flutes are quite
sufficient, especially if
voices are used as well.
The following
combinations are
particularly suitable for
domestic music-making,
whether or not voices are
included as well:one
violin and piano,two
violins and piano,two or
three violins,violins and
recorders,two concert (C)
flutes (and an alto
flute) and - as the ideal
combination for
shepherds' songs -
flutes, violins, cello
and piano.Performing
groups and music schools
have the advantage of a
wider choice of forces
and the possibility of
varying the
instrumentation within
the individual carols and
verses. Thus large and
small combinations can
alternate, strings and
flutes can play in turn,
and finally the piano can
be used by itself or to
reinforce other
instrumental
combinations, in which
case the cello can be
added, too.The pieces are
graded in increasing
order of difficulty; the
first carols are chosen
so that they can be
mastered by violinists
after as little as 4 to 6
months of learning their
instrument. The choise
and sequence of the
carols in this book, and
also their keys, were
determined, amongst other
factors, by their
suitability for the start
of violin tuition, both
in first and in third
position, so that these
carols make an especially
good supplement of
Christmas music to the
violin method of Fritz
and Gottfried Scharlach
(with its principle of
starting with the third
position). The
progressively increasing
difficulty of the carols
has resulted, for
example, in the three
Advent carols (nos.
23-25) being placed later
in the collection.The
editor hopes that these
carols will be much
played and sung, and thus
help to fill the
Christmas season with joy
and splendour.Fritz
Scharlach, Salzburg,
December 1972
Our
beautiful Christmas
carols, old and new, are
presented here in
settings, ranging from
the easy to the more
difficult, for various
combinations of voices
and instruments that may
be available in domestic
music-making or for a
Christmas concert.

In
January 1999, Nieminen
worked with his oboe
piece Elegy for Agatha.
The work kept running
through his mind. Its
musically intimate and
intriguing setting seemed
to include sufficient
elements for explicating
a bigger whole. The poem
by Hannele Huovi was the
inspiration of the
sequel: Kuulen virtaavaa
valoa ja se on pimeys (I
can here streaming light
and it is darkness).
In his work, Nieminen
also looks back on his
days in military service.
The mental pictures
created decades ago on
guard during winter frost
amid silence combined
with Huovi's poem took a
musical shape. I Hear
Streaming Light (1999)
for the String Quartet
was created out of these
ideas, which together
with Elegy for Agatha
constitute a whole called
I Can Hear Northern
Lights. All musical
material and melodic
themes of the string
quartet piece originate
from Elegy for Agatha but
they do not appear in
their original forms.

This
is an overflowing
arrangement for string
quartet. The piece
preserves the beauty of
the original work, an
icon of Romanian
traditional music, but at
the same time differs in
essence, due to the new
musical themes that were
introduced in the sound
material of this work. A
sample of the Romanian
traditional music which
exploit all four
instruments on equal
terms through which they
can show their
virtuosity. A pleasure
for the members of the
string quartets who like
to show their technical
skills, with which,
surely, they will delight
the audience. This score
is a smart choice for the
string quartets that want
to achieve the acclaim
from the audience. It is
a perfect encore to be
performed after a
successful concert.

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

The
composer Theodor Kirchner
(1823-1903), a friend of
Johannes Brahms, devoted
his work almost
exclusively to piano and
chamber music as well as
lieder. Among his
numerous works are also
collections pieces of
easy difficulty or with
easy educational demands.
They include the
“very small pieces
for string quartetâ€
(without opus number).
These pieces are seven
miniatures of varying
character, from cantabile
to lively. Since they
are, for the most part,
technically easy to
master, they offer the
opportunity to practise
chamber music ensemble
playing: listening to
each other, responding,
coming in together,
taking over and other
challenges of the string
quartet. Quartet sound
itself can also be
trained with the pieces -
the ideal preparation for
auditions and
competitions.
