String Quartet (str quar)

SKU: BR.MR-32020

Overture. Composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Chamber music. Musica Rara.

Beyer schafft es, mit seinen Bearbeitungen die Moglichkeiten des Streichquartetts eindrucksvoll auszunutzen und dabei den Charakter der Werke Mozarts in einem stimmungsvollen Klangbild zu beschreiben, dass dem des Originals in jeder Weise gerecht wird. Overture; Classical. Score and parts. Breitkopf and Haertel #MR 32020. Published by Breitkopf and Haertel (BR.MR-32020).

ISBN 9790004489413. 0 x 0 inches.

Christian Beyer (*1977), who is himself an active orchestra and chamber musician as well as a sought-after arranger and conductor, presents with this arrangement an edition that speaks from the heart of many musicians. Mozart's overtures, established as individual works in almost all concert halls worldwide, can now also be performed in programs of chamber music concerts.The difficulty level of these editions ranges from semi-professional to professional, but also ambitious amateur musicians will find the arrangements easy to master.

With his arrangements, Beyer succeeds in impressively exploiting the potentials of the string quartet and, at the same time, presenting the character of Mozart's works in an atmospheric sound image that does full justice to that of the original in all respects.

This string quartet includes score and parts.

String quartet

SKU: HH.HH369-FSP

Composed by Anonymous. Edited by Christopher Hogwood. Two Violins, Viola, Violoncello. Full score and parts. Edition HH Music Publishers #HH369-FSP. Published by Edition HH Music Publishers (HH.HH369-FSP).

ISBN 9790708041887.

This previously-unpublished Concerto a Quadro presumably started life as a concerto for the standard Baroque forces of flute, strings and continuo, now otherwise unknown; it is preserved in its surviving form for flute, violin, viola and cello in a set of manuscript parts apparently copied by an amateur musician in Sweden. Although unlikely to be the work of Handel, as a rare early example of music for flute quartet it is an attractive extension to a repertoire otherwise dominated by the works of Mozart and his contemporaries. In the present publication, editorial figuring in the cello part allows for the possibility of expanding the texture with additional continuo instruments.

George Nicholson's Salut for String Quartet. The death of Peter Cropper in May 2015 was an immeasurable blow to the musical community, especially to those of us who knew him not only as a wonderful, wise musician but also as a warm colleague and friend. His unceasing devotion to the cause of music and to the promotion of excellent standards in performance was, in my experience, beyond compare. The finest tribute we can pay him is to continue to make music to the best of our ability and to go on reaching out, to continue to explore and learn. I always felt that I would need to commemorate Peter in a piece for String Quartet, the medium he was most obviously associated with,and in Salut it is understandably the first Violin part that has pride of place. The piece develops contrasting textures and registers, and above all it is concerned with the influence of the extremely high Violin writing at the beginning on the rest of the ensemble. - George Nicholson Salut was first performed by the Ligeti Quartet, Firth Hall, University of Sheffield, 17 May 2016.

String Quartet. Composed by John Luther Adams. Music Sales America. Classical. Softcover. Composed 2018. 74 pages. Chester Music #CH87868. Published by Chester Music (HL.284555).

UPC: 888680912901. 9x12 inches.

Composers note:

I never imagined I would write a string quartet. Then I heard the JACK Quartet, and I understood how I might be able to make the medium my own. The result was The Wind in High Places - a twenty-minute work composed entirely on natural harmonics and open strings.

Over the next few years, two more quartets followed. The second quartet, untouched, is a further exploration of the aeolian sound world of the first. Then, in Canticles of the Sky, the musicians finally touch the fingerboards of their instruments.

And now comes Everything That Rises.

This fourth quartet is more expansive, both in time and in space. It grows out of Sila: The Breath of the World - a performance-length choral/orchestral work composed on a rising series of sixteen harmonic clouds.

Everything That Rises traverses this same territory, but in a much more melodic way.

Each musician is a soloist, playing throughout. They surround the audience. Time floats.

Over the course of an hour, the lines spin out - always rising - in acoustically perfect intervals that grow progressively smaller as they spiral upward... until the music dissolves into the soft noise of the bows, sighing.
