My third
quartet is laid out in a
three-movement structure,
with each movement based
on an early, middle, and
late work of the great
American impressionist
painter Mary Cassatt.
Although the movements
are separate, with
full-stop endings, the
music is connected by a
common scale-form,
derived from the name
MARY CASSATT, and by a
recurring theme that
introduces all three
movements. I see this
theme as Mary's Theme, a
personality that stays
intact while undergoing
gradual change. I
The Bacchante (1876)
[Pennsylvania Academy of
Fine Arts, Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania] The
painting shows a young
girl of Italian or
Spanish origin, playing a
small pair of cymbals.
Since Cassatt was trying
very hard to fit in at
the French Academy at the
time, she painted a lot
of these subjects, which
were considered typical
and universal. The style
of the painting doesn't
yet show Cassatt's
originality, except
perhaps for certain
details in the face.
Accordingly the music for
this movement is
Spanish/Italian, in a
similar period-style but
using the musical
signature described
above. The music begins
with Mary's Theme,
ruminative and slow, then
abruptly changes to an
alla Spagnola-type fast
3/4 - 6/8 meter. It
evokes the
Spanish-influenced music
of Ravel and Falla.
Midway through,
there's an accompanied
recitative for the viola,
which figures large in
this particular movement,
then back to a truncated
recapitulation of the
fast music. The overall
feeling is of a
well-made, rather
conventional movement in
a contemporary
Spanish/Italian style.
Cassatt's painting, too,
is rather conventional.
II At the Opera
(1880) [Museum of Fine
Arts, Boston,
Massachusetts]
This painting is one of
Cassatt's most well known
works, and it hangs in
the Museum of Fine Arts
in Boston. The painting
shows a woman alone in a
box at the opera house,
completely dressed
(including gloves) and
looking through opera
glasses at someone or
something that is NOT on
the stage. Across the
auditorium from her, but
exactly at eye level, is
a gentleman with opera
glasses intently watching
her - though it is not
him that she's looking
at. It's an intriguing
picture. This
movement is far less
conventional than the
first movement, as the
painting is far less
conventional. The music
begins with a rapid,
Shostakovich-type
mini-overture lasting
less than a minute, based
on Mary's Theme. My
conjecture is that the
woman in the painting has
arrived late to the
opera, busily stumbling
into her box. What
happens next is a kind of
collage, a kind of
surrealistic overlaying
of two different
elements: the foreground
music, at first is a
direct quotation of
Soldier's Chorus from
Gounod's FAUST (an opera
Cassatt would certainly
have heard in the
brand-new Paris Opera
House at that time),
played by Violin II,
Viola, and Cello. This
music is played sul
ponticello in the melody
and col legno in the
marching accompaniment.
On top of this, the first
violin hovers at first on
a high harmonic, then
descends into a slow
melody, completely
separate from the Gounod.
It's as if the woman in
the painting is hearing
the opera onstage but is
not really interested in
it. Then the cello joins
the first violin in a
kind of love-duet (just
the two of them, at
first). This music isn't
at all Gounod-derived;
it's entirely from the
same scale patterns as
the first movement and
derives from Mary's Theme
and its scale. The music
stays in a kind of
dichotomy feeling,
usually
three-against-one, until
the end of the movement,
when another Gounod
melody, Valentin's aria
Avant de quitter ce lieux
reappears in a kind of
coda for all four
players. It ends
atmospherically and
emotionally disconnected,
however. The overall
feeling is a kind of
schizophrenic,
opera-inspired dream.
III Young Woman in
Green, Outdoors in the
Sun (1909) [Worcester Art
Museum, Massachusetts]
The painting, one
of Cassatt's last, is
very simple: just a
figure, looking sideways
out of the picture. The
colors are pastel and yet
bold - and the woman is
likewise very
self-assured and not in
the least demure. It is
eight minutes long, and
is all about melody -
three melodies, to be
exact (Young Woman,
Green, and Sunlight). No
angst, no choppy rhythms,
just ever-unfolding
melody and lush
harmonies. I quote one
other French composer
here, too: Debussy's song
Green, from Ariettes
Oubliees. 1909 would have
been Debussy's heyday in
Paris, and it makes
perfect sense musically
as well as visually to do
this. Mary Cassatt
lived her last several
years in near-total
blindness, and as she
lost visual acuity, her
work became less sharply
defined - something akin
to late water lilies of
Monet, who suffered
similar vision loss. My
idea of making this
movement entirely melodic
was compounded by having
each of the three
melodies appear twice,
once in a pure form, and
the second time in a more
diffuse setting. This
makes an interesting two
ways form:
A-B-C-A1-B1-C1.
String Quartet No.3

C'est apres
un entretien avec le
Professeur Yuji Ikegaya
concernant ses recherches
en neurologie que j'ai
voulu travailler sur
quelques particularites
fonctionnelles du cerveau
humain. Quatre de ces
specificites ont retenu
mon attention. La
premiere est ce qui est
de l'ordre de l'autonomie
ou de l'independance. En
effet, alors qu'aucune
stimulation exterieure
n'ait lieu, le cerveau
humain montre des
activites spontanees qui
s'expriment sous forme de
patterns fixes. La
seconde est le principe
d'<> des
gestes ou des phrases
avec le fonctionnement
des neurones miroirs :
l'homme apprend en
imitant les gestes des
autres, c'est la source
d'emotions comme la
compassion ou la
sympathie. La troisieme
est liee a
l'apprentissage spontane
et l'auto-renouvellement
du cerveau, faculte qui
le differencie
singulierement de
l'ordinateur. Enfin la
conscience du <>,
qui est ce qui le
differencie du cerveau de
l'animal. J'ai trouve
dans la forme classique
et austere du quatuor un
terrain d'exploration
ideal pour elaborer ce
projet musical. Le
quatuor est en effet
compose des quatre
cerveaux des musiciens,
mais il est egalement une
entite a part entiere, un
centre nevralgique
unitaire. L'ecriture
musicale procede ainsi
par imitation, sur une
base de patterns qui
varie constamment dans
une quete identitaire et
dans son rapport a
l'autre et aux autres
(musiciens). L'autre,
c'est egalement
l'autiste, celui qui
n'arrive pas bien a
imiter et a comprendre
les expressions, emotions
et gestes exterieurs. La
question des rapports
devient alors celle de la
dependance, de
l'independance et/ou de
l'interdependance. Elle
est au centre de mon
processus compositionnel
qui, par l'organisation
et la sonification des
comportements aux
differentes voix du
quatuor, est egalement un
moyen de me questionner
en tant que compositrice,
sur mon identite et sur
mon propre rapport au
monde. (Misato
Mochizuki)

issioned by the BBC and
premiered by the
Chilingirian String
Quartet. Quoting Wood: In
my Second and Third
Quartets I attempted
sectional, agglutinative
forms: in my Fourth I
return to the
conventional four
movement form of my First
Quartet of 1962. Both
works build up (as in the
19th century symphony) to
the Finale, thus making
it the most substantial
movement, which provides
a climax to the work. The
First Movement has, in
both works, only the
status of an
Introduction. But there
the consciously willed
resemblances end. This
Introduction follows the
Second Quartet to a
certain extent, in that
it provides a sort of
'cauldron', from which
elements to be used later
can all be plucked. Its
opening will reappear at
various points throughout
the work, most completely
at a climatic point of
the Finale (bar 110).
Subsequent material will
be more fully worked out
in the second movement, a
large Scherzo. The
Introduction concludes
with an unusually placed
violin cadenza (itself a
rare feature in a string
quartet, the idea lifted
from Elliott Carter's
First Quartet) of which
the opening is to
reappear halfway through
the Finale. The Scherzo
(which follows attacca)
does not have at its
centre a discretely
characterized Trio: a
figure in double-stops
like a distant fanfare
supplies the necessary
contrast of a second
idea. The Slow Movement
has a secondary idea
first heard on the cello
and marked appassionato:
an agitato middle section
recalls the opening of
the work, but in a
formulation which will be
found closely to
anticipate its
reappearance in the
Finale. The Finale is
planned on a broad scale.
Only after a fully worked
exposition of both
primary and secondary
material does the opening
of the whole work return,
now in a greatly extended
form. Then, at bar 140,
the tune of the violin
cadenza is first
harmonized in fanfare
style on the upper
instruments, then
presented as a chorale on
the lower ones, with a
rushing semiquaver
accompaniment above. This
climatic activity mounts
to the very end. The work
is dedicated to the
Chilingirian Quartet, old
friends over many years.

Through Thorns (2003)
Harp Concerto No. 2 -
Passage for Harp Solo
with Flute, Clarinet and

by Tine Rehling (Harp)
and the Esbjerg Ensemble,
conducted by Kaisa Roose
at the Concert Hall of
the Western Jutland
Academy of Music,
Esbjerg, 28th January
2004. Programme Note
THROUGH THORNS has a
duration of about 20
minutes, in one
continuous movement, thus
the subtitle passage. The
work is scored for harp
solo, flute, clarinet and
string quartet. The title
is borrowed from the
lines from an old Virgin
Mary Hymn: Mary wanders
through thorns, a hymn
which ends with the
following line: then
roses grew forth amongst
thethorns. I only came
across the poem after
finishing the
composition, the passage
of which is a journey of
sometimes dramatic
events, concluding with a
rose-blooming, as does
the hymn. For
THROUGH THORNS to borrow
its title from a Virgin
Mary Hymn has to do with
the musical material and
current of the piece,
which brings motives from
an earlier choral piece
of mine, FLOS UT ROSA
(Latin for a flower like
a rose), and the rose in
question is of course the
one which grew forth when
the Virgin Mary gave
birth to the Infant Jesus
in a hitherto unheard-of
fashion, a NOVA GENITURA
(new birth), which is the
title of another work of
mine that also derives
its material from my
original rose-melody from
1975. THROUGH
THORNS is dedicated to
Tine Rehling, and
together with her I have
tried to expand the
sonorities of the harp,
by exploring existing
techniques and their more
remote regions, in order
to gain access to new
territory and new
soundscaoes, as realised
by the constantly
experimentally-minded and
virtuoso player.

Nocturnal
(1998-2001) for Trombone
and String Quartet was
composed by Bent Sorensen
. Progamme note: The two
movements of Nocturnal
were written with a gab
of three years. The last
movement, which bears the
title The Wings of Night,
was commisioned by Warsaw
Autumn in 1998, while the
first movement -
Mondnacht - was
commisioned for Ultima
Festival in Oslo in 2001.
Despite the three years
gab, these are not two
separate pieces which
have been linked
together. The sketches
for the first movement
were begun immediately
after the first
performance of the second
movement in Warsaw 1998.
As the title suggests,
there is a nocturnal
atmosphere in the work.
In the first movement
weare perhaps in a park
and notice the shadows of
the clouds passing the
bright moon. In the short
second movement we are
perhaps with
Shakespeare's Juliet,
calling for love, calling
for the night: Come
night, come Romeo, come,
thou day in night, For
thou wilt lie upon the
wings of night Whither
than snow upon a raven's
back. ...perhaps we are
elsewhere - at night!
Nocturnal was written for
Christian Lindberg and
the Arditti Quartet and
premiered in Oslo in
2001.
