1982 saw the
publication of a melody
for written for bagpipes
by the name of
Highland
Cathedral—a
name that draws its
inspiration from a famous
neo-Gothic church in
Glasgow, Scotland. Since
its first appearance,
Highland Cathedral
has enjoyed a triumphant
tour around the globe,
often acknowledged as an
enthusiastic tribute to
the nation of Scotland.
Anthony
Gröger’s
version for string
quartet combines this
passionate character with
unmistakeable echoes of
the Scottish feel of the
original work. Here then
is this true classic,
especially popular at
wedding ceremonies, now
arranged for string
quartet.
In het
jaar 1982 werd een voor
doedelzak geschreven
melodie gepubliceerd,
waarvan de titel
Highland Cathedral
was ge nspireerd op een
beroemde neogotische kerk
in het Schotse Glasgow.
Sindsdien heeft het stuk
gaandeweg de wereld
veroverd en wordt het
vaak ten gehore gebracht
als enthousiast eerbetoon
aan Schotland. Anthony
Grögers versie voor
vier strijkers combineert
dat gepassioneerde
karakter met onmiskenbare
echo’s van de
Schotse sfeer van het
origineel. Een geliefde
klassieker, veelvuldig
gespeeld op bruiloften,
is nu dus ook
verkrijgbaar in een
arrangement voor
strijkkwartet.

The

me during my student

knew immediately that I
wanted to write a piece

the work a reflection on
a painting in the

Zurbaran's The Holy House
of Nazareth. My quartet
is not program music in a

rather a kind of
meditation that takes its
tone from this painting's
remarkable integration of
intense affect,
mysterious repose and
secret geometry. Besides
Zurbaran's painting, the
piece is occupied with a
purely musical object of
contemplation: the hymn
tune Picardy, best known
with the text Let All
Mortal Flesh Keep
Silence. This tune
permeates the harmonic
and melodic life of the
quartet, sometimes
appearing in a very
simple, straightforward
fashion, but often hidden
amidst more complex
structures. I was
attracted to the melody
for its musical
qualities, but later
realized that the hymn's
text also resonates with
the mood of the painting;
the words speak of a
reverent awe, of cherubim
with sleepless eye, and
of the mystery of the
Incarnate Word who must
suffer: King of kings,
yet born of Mary...

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.

In den
alten Kulturen war das,
was wir heute ,,Musik und
,,Dichtung nennen, eine
Einheit. Denken wir nur
an die lotrijgn<'
[musike] der Griechen,
oder an Beschreibungen,
die wir in den
klassischen chinesischen
Schriften finden. Aber
naturlich:
Kulturgeschichte ist ein
Differenzierungsprozess,
und so finden wir zur
Zeit unserer europaischen
Klassiker den Vorstoss
der Musik zu ihrer
,,Autonomie - ihrer
offiziellen Scheidung von
dem Metier der Dichter.
(Noch 1739 hatte
Mattheson in seinem
Vollkommenen
Capellmeister von jedem
Musiker ,,Gewandtheit in
der Dicht-Kunst und
genaueste Kenntnis der
Verslehre verlangt.)Seit
dieser Scheidung sind nun
die Musiker sehr eifrig
damit beschaftigt, eine
autonome Grammatik und
Syntax der ,,Tonkunst,
wie die Musik jetzt
genannt wird, zu
entwickeln, wahrend in
der Dichtung - besonders
naturlich in der
experimentellen, von Jean
Paul und Mallarme bis zu
Joyce und Celan - gerade
das ,,Musikalische in der
Poesie gesucht wird.
Hierunter ist oft der
Wunsch verborgen, die
Verhartung, welche die
Wortsprache durch ihre
begriffliche Fixierung -
extrem in der
Wissenschaft! - erfahrt,
wieder aufzuheben und sie
in einen ,,musikalischen
Zustand von
Unbestimmtheit, von
Offenheit zuruck zu
versetzen.Oberflachlich
betrachtet entwickeln
sich die beiden Kunste in
der Moderne also
auseinander; eine
Beruhrung zwischen ihnen
wird immer schwieriger.
Zu gross die Gefahr, dass
die muhsam errungene
Autonomie der einen
wieder der Ubermacht der
andern geopfert wird!
Entweder wird die Musik,
wenn sie schwach ist, zu
blosser Illustration und
Stimmungskulisse; oder
sie verschlingt in ihrer
klanglichen und
zeitlichen Ausformung den
eigenen Klang und
Rhythmus der
Dichtung.Manche Musiker
haben in den letzten
Jahrzehnten dieses
Problem noch
verinnerlicht und eine
Art Bilderverbot auch
innerhalb der Musik
aufgestellt: Gestik,
Expressivitat,
Assoziationsfahigkeit der
musikalischen Strukturen
wurden unterdruckt. Ich
halte das fur ein
neurotisches Verhalten
und ausserdem fur
irrefuhrend. Es gibt
schon seit jeher auch
eine musikalische
Semantik - das vergessen
manche vor lauter Syntax
und Grammatik; und es ist
kein Grund einzusehen,
warum in der Situation
der Autonomie nicht
musikalische und
sprachliche Semantik in
eine neue Art von
Verhaltnis treten
konnten. In der
Bach-Kantate, im
Schubert-Lied, in der
Wagnerischen Leitmotivik
waren das 1:1-Losungen;
aber schon Wagner hat
gezeigt, dass man diese
Identitat auch
dialektisch aufsprengen
kann.Und wie erst in der
Vielsprachigkeit der
heutigen Moderne! In
meiner Oper Stephen
Climax habe ich den
Hauptpersonen des Ulysses
von James Joyce bestimmte
- historisch ortbare -
Musiksprachen zugeteilt
(welche jeweils wieder
bestimmte intervallische
und rhythmische
Struktureigenschaften
zeigen, welche ihrerseits
wieder seriell oder
statistisch geordnet sind
- es geht bis ins
kleinste Detail ganz
,,autonom zu!!); der
Kosmos unserer
europaischen
Musikgeschichte wird
sowohl dem Kosmos der
Joyceschen Figuren
(ihrerseits
,,geschichtstrachtig!)
wie auch dem aktuellen
musikalischen Bewusstsein
zugeordnet, aber eben oft
auch uber Kreuz, paradox,
mehrschichtig, mehrdeutig
... Die Tatsache, dass
diese spezifische
Moglichkeit einer
neuartigen Einheit von
Sprache und Musik von den
berufenen Musikologen
noch kaum bemerkt worden
ist, zeigt nicht nur
deren Langsamkeit,
sondern auch die Dominanz
des ,,bildlosen Denkens
in der - jetzt
abgelaufenen - Phase der
Neuen Musik.In meinen
Holderlin lesen-Stucken
ging es mir darum, Wege
zu finden, die gewaltigen
Sprachstrukturen
Holderlins so in die
zeitliche Form der Musik
zu integrieren, dass sie
Funktionen der
musikalischen Form
ubernehmen, ohne in ihrer
Eigenkraft (sowohl
akustisch wie auch im
Sinne expressiver
,,Deutung) im geringsten
geschmalert zu werden.
Das hiess zunachst:
Sprechen, nicht singen! -
Aber das wurde nur
bedeuten, dass es nicht
um die Musikalisierung
von Text geht; ebenso
wichtig ist es, dass es
auch nicht um
melodramatisch
,,erzahlende Musik geht.
Sondern: Zwei autonome
Kunste durchdringen sich
auf diaphane Weise, ohne
sich zu uberformen oder
auszuloschen; es handelt
sich um einen Dialog,
nicht um eine
Vereinnahmung durch
Hierarchisierung.Ein
weiteres Thema, das in
der musikalischen
Diskussion der letzten
Jahrzehnte zu kurz
gekommen ist und deswegen
jetzt neu am Horizont
erscheint, ist die
Rhetorik. Inwieweit kann
musikalische Form nicht
nur logisch bzw.
syntaktisch, sondern auch
rhetorisch verstanden
werden? Rhetorik und
Satztechnik z.B. hangen
zusammen. Ich kann diese
Problematik (die ich in
meinem vierteiligen,
abendfullenden Shir
Hashirim ,,auskomponiert
habe) hier nur
andeuten.Musik steht
zwischen Zahl und Wort;
sie hat an beidem teil.
So konnte sie das Zentrum
der ,,Sieben Freien
Kunste in alten Zeiten
bilden ... (Heinrich
Schutz sagte, dass sie zu
diesen - also zu den
mathematisch-astronomisch
en und den literarischen
Kunsten - wie die ,,Sonne
zu den Planeten sich
verhalte.) Mir scheint,
dass wir die Komposition
seit 50 Jahren zu
einseitig nur von der
Zahl her definieren; sie
hat geschichtlich ebenso
viel mit Sprachstruktur
zu tun. Wir konnen
Neuland gewinnen, wenn
wir als heutige Musiker
dies neu durchdenken.Es
handelt sich hier um
meinen dritten Versuch
einer Annaherung an das
Problem einer
,,Verzeitlichung der
Holderlinschen Texte d.h.
einer Moglichkeit, diese
Texte in einer
Performance darzustellen:
da die Musik das
eigentliche Element der
zeitlichen Darstellung
ist, werden die
Holderlinschen Worte mit
Tonen konfrontiert.Im
Fall von denn
wiederkommen geht es um
neun Zeilen aus
Holderlins Patmos-Hymne.
Je eine solche Zeile wird
einem Formabschnitt der
Musik zugeordnet (das
Stuck ist also, wie meine
Lo-Shu-Stucke,
neunteilig). Die
betreffende Zeile
erklingt nicht nur
einmal, sondern wird, in
der gleichen Weise wie
auch das musikalische
Material, nach einem
chaotischen
Repetitionsprinzip
mehrfach
wiederholt.Auffallig ist
ferner, dass fur jeden
der neun Teile ein von
einem der vier
Quartettspieler
festgehaltener ,,Grundton
gewahlt wurde; durch
diese orgelpunktartige
Wirkung wird jeder der
neun Teile
zusammengehalten, und der
Horer kann die langsame
Bewegung der Grossform im
unmittelbaren Horprozess
mitvollziehen.Die neun
Satze von Holderlin
lauten:1. Furchtlos gehen
die Sohne der Alpen uber
den Abgrund weg auf
leicht gebaueten
Brucken...2. Sie horen
ihn und liebend tont es
wieder von den Klagen des
Manns...3. Im goldenen
Rauche bluhte schnell
aufgewachsen mit
Schritten der Sonne, mit
tausend Gipfeln duftend,
mir Asia auf, und
geblendet...4. Gegangen
mit dem Sohne des
Hochsten, unzertrennlich,
denn es liebte der
Gewittertragende die
Einfalt des Jungers...5.
Wenn aber stirbt alsdenn,
an dem am meisten die
Schonheit hing...6.
Eingetrieben war wie
Feuer in Eisen das, und
ihnen ging zur Seite der
Schatten des Lieben. Drum
sandt er ihnen den Geist
und freilich bebte das
Haus und die Wetter
Gottes rollten
ferndonnernd...7. Uber
die Berge zu gehn allein,
wo zwiefach erkannt, war
einstimmig und

String
Quartet No. 2,
(Musée
Mécanique), was
commissioned by the
Ciompi Quartet for their
series at Duke
University, with funds
from Meet the Composer.
The first performances
were given on April 25
and 26, 2002. The Ciompi
also helped in the
preparation of this
edition and have recorded
both String Quartet No. 1
and String Quartet No. 2
for Albany Records (Troy
717). The second string
quartet is dedicated,
with enormous admiration
and gratitude, to my
friends Eric Pritchard,
Hsiao-Mei Ku, Jonathan
Bagg, and Fred Raimi of
the Ciompi Quartet.

Sepp
o Pohjola (b. 1965)
composed his fifth string
quartet, lasting about 20
minutes, in
February-March 2018. He
was inspired to write it
by a visit to the Vincent
van Gogh Museum in
Amsterdam the previous
year, where he was
greatly impressed by the
vast, comprehensive
retrospective and
especially the
horrifyingly honest
self-portraits. The soft
opening tones bear an
instruction alluding to
Schonberg's Verklarte
Nacht string sextet: the
quiet music must be
richly shaded. The notes
in the canon-like part
writing almost always
change at different
moments in each
instrument, with a longer
or shorter delay. The
independent lines weave
tightly together. The
only dynamic is forte for
minutes on end in the
powerful closing section.
Duration c. 20 minutes.
Score (A4) and parts
(B4).
