This
work follows my Quartet
No. 1 by five years. In
terms of style and
aesthetic aim, however,
it seems light years
away. Where the first
work, a 28-minute,
four-movement piece, took
aim at cosmic conflicts
and heroic resolutions,
the present work is
intended as a kind of
divertissment. Harbor
Music lasts a mere eleven
minutes, is cast in a
single movement with six
sections, and should
leave both performers and
listeners with a feeling
of good humor and
affection. The
title comes from my
experience as a guest in
the magnificent city of
Sydney, Australia. One of
its most attractive
features is its unique
system of ferry boats:
the city is laid out
around a large,
multi-channeled harbor,
with destinations more
easily approached by
water than by land.
Consequently, inhabitants
of Sydney get around on
small, people-friendly
boats that come and go
from the central docks at
Circular Quay. During a
week's visit in 1991, I
must have boarded these
boats at least a dozen
times, always bound for a
new location - the resort
town of Manley, or the
Zoo at Taronga Park, or
the shopping district at
Darling Harbour.
In casting about for a
form for my second string
quartet, a kind of loose
rondo came to mind. Each
new destination would be
approached from the same
starting-out point
(although there are
subtle variations in the
repeating theme; it's
always in a new key, and
the texture is never the
same). The result, I
hope, is a sense of
constant new information
presented with
introductory frames of a
more familiar nature.
The embarkation
theme, which begins the
piece, is a sort of
bi-tonal fanfare in which
the violins are in G
major and the viola and
cello are in B-flat
major. It is bold, eager,
and forward-looking. The
first voyage maintains
this bi-tonality,
beginning as a 9/8 due
for second violin and
viola in a kind of
rocking motion -much as a
boat produces when
reaching the deeper water
in the harbor. A sweet,
nostalgic theme emerges
over this rocking
accompaniment. This music
is developed somewhat,
then transforms quickly
into a much faster and
lighter episode, filled
with rising and falling
scales (again, in
differing keys). A
scherzando interlude in
short notes and changing
meters provides contrast,
and the episode ends with
a reprise of the scales.
The second
embarkation follows, this
time in A major/C major.
It leads quickly into a
very warm and slow theme,
in wide-leaping intervals
for the viola. This
section is interrupted
twice by solo cadenzas
for the cello, suggesting
distant boat-horns in
major thirds. The end of
the episode becomes a
transition, with
boat-horns leading into
the final appearance of
the embarkation music,
this time in trills and
tremolos instead of
sharply accented chords.
The nostalgic theme of
the first episode makes a
final appearance, serving
now as a coda. The
rocking motion continues,
in a lullaby fashion,
leaving us drowsy and
satisfied on our homeward
journey. Harbor
Music was written for the
Cavani Quartet, and is
dedicated to Richard J.
Bogomolny. Commissioned
by his employees at First
National Supermarkets as
a gift, it represents a
thank you from many of
the people (including
this composer) who have
benefitted from his
vision and generosity. An
ardent advocate of
chamber music (and a
cellist himself), Mr.
Bogomolny has for many
years been Chairman of
the Board of Chamber
Music America. -- Dan
Welcher.

This is the
eleventh work in my
chamber music series,
STRATA, and my fourth
string quartet following
STRATA I, V, and IX. This
series started in 1988
based on the idea of
regarding registers as
strata (the plural form
of stratum), from which
the title in derived.
While I continue to write
pieces, however, the
initial concept changed
in various aspects. This
time, I returned to the
original idea To put it
simply, I restarted from
STRATA I. I used the same
instruments and stared at
strara created by the
four string parts. That
became the act of
composing STRATA XI. The
work doesn't have
'development' in the
general sense but
represents a panorama of
strata. It consists of
four movements
(fast-slow-fast-slow). In
fact, before writing the
STRATA series, I wrote a
long string quartet when
I was a student, but I
didn't include it in my
list of works. Anyway,
the thought of writing
string quartet has never
disappeared from me. It
alays weighs heavily on
my mind. Shin-Ichiro

Quatuor No
2 was first performed by
the Tana string quartet
on April 14, 2013, at
Radio France, Paris. I
conceived a piece whose
principal subject was
going to consist in the
description of a
minuscule sonic element.
The description of this
tiny initial material
would be so precise, so
detailed that, deployed
on a much larger scale
than its original one, it
would occupy the entire
duration of the piece. At
that point, I just had to
choose a sound model as
the starting point of the
piece, the sound that
would best characterize
the string instruments
themselves: the noisy
sound produced by the bow
barely coming in contact
with one of the strings,
getting ready to acquire
speed, weight,
acceleration, and
producing a full sound of
a violin, a viola or a
cello... -Daniel
D'Adamo.

Two
years ago in Rome, I
encountered a murmuration
of starlings and I was
amazed with its
overwhelming beauty,
changing shape as it
moved. Moving of a fish
school that you can watch
in an aquarium, has the
same beauty and the
energy. According to the
scientists, their fine
movement in a flock is
based on the following
three simple rules: -
steer to avoid crowding
local flockmates - steer
towards the average
heading of local
flockmates - steer to
move towards the average
position (center of mass)
of local flockmates The
word Boids refers to
bird-like objects
(bird-oids), representing
the beauty of their
movements in a flock
which is a result of
balancing out with each
other, following the
principle of least
effort. I wonder if these
rules can be applied to
the way a string quartet
is shaped. Boids again
has been written as a
sequel to the piece Boids
(2017), a 4 minute study
for string quartet in the
frame of the Kronos
Quartet's educational

When
AntonÃn Dvorák
started composing his
String Quartet No. 10 in
late 1878, none of his
quartets had yet been
performed. However this
new work, deliberately
cast in the
“Slavonicâ€
style, quickly achieved
international renown and
has remained among one of
the most popular string
quartets by
Dvorák.
The
authoritative Dvorák
scholar Hartmut Schick
has consulted all
accessible sources, most
notably the printed score
published by Simrock and
the autograph. Now, after
many decades, a
definitive Urtext edition
of this major work can be
presented. In comparison
to the old Supraphon
edition of 1955, the new
publication includes a
detailed Critical
Commentary (Eng) as well
as edited early versions
of the middle movements
in the appendix. A
detailed Foreword
(Ger/Cz/Eng) by the
editor is also
contained.
