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.

String
Quartet No. 5 consists of
two contrasting
movements. The first
movement, being present,
immediately leads to an
atmosphere of high
emotional tension. The
prevailing atmospheric
elements of the music are
dramatic and passionate,
alternating with each
other like a
kaleidoscope. In contrast
to that, a second theme
is intoned three times -
an invitation, a memory
of the existence of
another world, a
light-house which
illuminates the twilight
in which we live so
often. But this
invitation remains
unheard. The first
movement concludes with
dissonances in the upper
register - a cry of utter
desperation.The second
movement, so distant ...
yet so near, is the calm,
unhurried vocal section
of the quartet. A
forgiving, loving look at
a world tortured by grief
and contradictions.
Gradually, the singing
becomes more personal,
more emotional and more
dramatic. The rhythmic
figure of a funeral march
in the recapitulation of
the second movement is a
gesture of loss.
Eventually, the quartet
loses itself in an
atmosphere of
light-filled grief.
Peteris Vask.
