Nicholas
Yasillo's wife was much
taken with medieval-era
decorated volumes of
prayers and religious
scenes, known as the Book
of Hours. As such, he
commissioned Garrop for a
work in her honor. Garrop
appropriately uses her
String Quartet No. 4 to
describe not just five
scenes from The Hours by
Catherine of Cleves (c.
1400's), but a reading of
the book and personal
discovery of each
illustration
(Illuminations). The work
was written for the
Cecilia Quartet, who gave
the premiere in
September, 2011. For
advanced perfomers.
Duration: 19'.

Adler's
milestone String Quartet
No. 10 was composed for
the Cassatt String
Quartet for performance
at the Bowdoin
International Music
Festival's 50th
Anniversary season in
2014. Built in a single
movement of contrasting
sections, Adler's 10th
will continue to be
featured in upcoming
concerts by the Cassatt
Quartet, including a
performance in Beijing in
July. The String
Quartet No. 10 was
written in 2013 for the
50th anniversary of the
Bowdoin International
Summer Music Festival and
is dedicated to the
Cassatt Quartet who
premiered the work during
the 50th anniversary
celebration in July 2014.
 The work was written
with a generous grant
from the Fromm Music
Foundation.The 10th
String Quartet is in one
continuous movement but
divided into four
sections. Â The first
section is a slow
introduction which
presents the basic
harmonic material of the
entire work. Â This is
suddenly interrupted by a
very agitated movement
forming a great contrast
to the calm of the
beginning. Â This
rhythmic drive comes to a
stop and is relieved by
the third section which
is a variation of the
beginning, but is a bit
longer and more
developed. Â This is
followed by the final
section which again
captures the agitation of
the second section and
brings the work to a wild
and most aggressive
end.—Samuel
Adler.

Cica
da larvae live
underground for years,
creeping about slowly and
peacefully in the
darkness until that
sudden, beautiful brief
moment when, one warm,
damp summer’s eve,
they emerge,
metamorphosed into a
highly mobile life form.
Gaily they dance in the
sunshine, singing
ardently to the trees in
all their greenery ---
but only for a short
while, for, just as
suddenly, they are gone.
The same process repeats
year upon year. The life
cycle of this string
quartet resembles that of
the cicada. Initially,
two embryonic cells
remain hidden within
dense, gloomy
note-clusters; over time
they evolve into buds,
grow and then blossom.
They appear for the first
time in their adult form
in the fast middle
section, where they
assume the shape of two
very popular Chinese folk
melodies, Jasmine and Old
Six Blows, albeit in
wholly chromaticized and
defamiliarized variants.
After their grand
efflorescence, these
forms gradually dissolve
into transparent wisps of
sound.

String Quartet No. 2:
Demons and Angels with
much success, it is only
natural that the Biava
Quartet would handle the
premiere of String
Quartet No.3: Gaia. In an
email interview with
Pittsburgh New Music Net,
Biava violist Mary Persin
says, in part, We
received many very
enthusiastic responses
from audience members who
were struck by the
interesting form, as well
as the sonorities created
by using a good deal of
dissonance as well as
harmonics. Watch for a
recording by the Biava
Quartet to be made
available soon. For

With
serious string players
this Latvian composer has
long been recognized
because of his sonorous
tonal concepts and his
modal, occasionally
aleatoric idiom. Works
like 'Cantabile per
Archi' or 'Musica
dolorosa' are already
quite well-known, but
newer pieces like the
violin concerto with
string orchestra 'Fernes
Licht', commissioned by
Gidon Kremer for his
Kremerata Baltica, are
also gaining wide
international exposure.
The genre of the string
quartet is well
represented in Vasks'
output. The 2nd string
quartet 'Summer Tunes'
(ED 8512) has been
published for some time
and the 3rd was premiered
by the Kronos Quartet who
were so enthused that
they commissioned a 4th
quartet. In 1996,
prompted by a complete
recording of all his
string quartets by the
Miami String Quartet for
Conifer Records Vasks
totally revised his early
1st string quartet 1996,
it is here presented for
the first time in a
printed edition.

Anoth
er prize-winning
composition from Needham
is his String Quartet No.
1, which sprang from an
afternoon's exposure to
Vivaldi's Four Seasons.
Says the composer, The
work itself is about
cycles. Nature cycles
(day to night, seasonal,
moon, tides, etc.), life
cycles, and even cycles
in music make their way
into the piece, both
consciously and
subconsciously. The work
is a homage to nature and
to the affective spirit
found in the music of
Vivaldi..
