This
collection of folk songs
from Latin America
(Mexico, Costa Rica and
Guatemala) are meant to
expand young player's
knowledge of music from
other cultures or give
them pride in the music
of their own heritage.
The music is mostly in
1st position with only
Violin 1 and Violoncello
wandering briefly into
other positions. Players
will use pizzicato and a
variety of bowing
styles.
Naci en la Cumbre (I
was Born on the Mountain)
is a traditional
Guatemalan folk
song.
Vuela,
suspiro (Fly, My Sighs)
is a traditional Costa
Rican folk song.
Ay! Tituy is a
traditional folk song
from Costa Rica.
La Cucaracha (The
Cockroach) is a
traditional Spanish song,
also trendy in Latin
America. It is about a
cockroach who can't walk.
The song came to
symbolize the Mexican
Revolution (1910-20) and
Pancho
Villa.

The
Second and Third Quartets
were conceived at the
same time; indeed, their
composition intermingled,
over half of No. 3 being
sketched before No. 2 was
completed. Accordingly,
they share similar
material but, like the
intertwining blood of
cousins, their natures
differ: No. 2 being
somewhat acerbic and
declamatory, No. 3 more
lyric and gentler. An
annunicatory 'leaping
motive' (derived from a
motto generated by my
name) opens Quartet No. 2
and inhabits the course
of the piece as a
cyclical binding-force. A
five-note motive, usually
very deliberate, also
keeps recurring like an
insistent caller. All
three movements are based
on tonal centers (I on B
and E, II on D, III on C)
and the harmonic
'grammar' spoken tends to
recall the jazz world of
my youth. To hopefully
achieve a certain
classical ambience was
one of the goals of this
piece, and all three
movements have
traditional forms. The
first movement is a
modified Sonata-Allegro
design, with a
severely-truncated
recapitulation balanced
by a lengthy, and
decaying Coda. The second
movement is a set of
strophic variants and an
epilogue interspersed
with both solo ritornelli
and first-movement
material (the motto and
the five-note motive) in
the nature of a
fantasia-like
'call-and-response.' It
is dedicated to the
memory of the American
mezzo-soprano Jan
DeGaetani. The third
movement is a modified
Rondo (ABACBA) which
evolves out of the
opening motto. All three
movements make much use
of canonic stretti,
similar gestures, and
repetition. For example,
the climax of movement
III's Rondo throws the
first movement back at us
again, as if the players
were reluctant to let it
go, so that the entire
piece could perhaps be
viewed as a single large,
extended, Sonata
movement, with
introduction and
Coda. The Second and

Mother
Teresa was happy to
surprise her
interlocutors by handing
them a small card instead
of a traditional business
card, on which a short
text was to be read,
beginning with the line
âThe fruit of silence
is prayer.â In 2013,
Peteris Vasks set this
peace prayer of Mother
Teresa on behalf of the
Schleswig-Holstein Music
Festival for mixed choir
a cappella in the form of
a dense elegiac sound
stream. The versions for
piano quintet and string
quartet now make this
musical expression of
Mother Teresa's words
accessible to two
traditional genres of
chamber music without the
help of a choir.

Shula
mit Ranâs second string
quartet, subtitled
âVistas,â occupies a
large canvas that is cast
in a traditional
fourmovement mold, where
the outer movements
present, explore, and
later return to the
workâs principal
musical materials,
surrounding a slow
movement and scherzo-type
third movement with a
trio. In addition to
tempo-based titles, the
individual movements have
subtitles that are
evocative of each
movementâs character,
as follows: I.
Concentric: from the
inside out II. Stasis
III. Flashes IV.
Vistas. My second
string quartet,
âVistasâ, is a work
cast in a traditional
four-movement formal
mold, with the outer
movements, presenting and
later returning to the
workâs principal
musical materials,
surrounding a slow
movement and a
scherzo-type third
movement.While the four
movementsâ âproperâ
names -- Maestoso con
forza, Lento, Scherzo
impetuoso, and
Introduzione; Maestoso e
grande â give some
indication of the general
character of the
individual movements, I
have also subtitled, less
formally, each movement
as follows:Â 1)
Concentric:Â from the
inside out 2)Â
Stasis 3) Flashes 4)
Vista. The images
evoked by these titles
tell one, I think, a bit
more about the inner
workings of the
quartet.In the first
movement, a prominently
presented opening pitch
(E) reveals itself, as
the movement unfolds, to
be a center of gravity
from which ever-growing
cycles of activity
gradually evolve. While
various important themes
come into being as the
movement progresses,
their impact on the
listener has, I believe,
a great deal to do with
their juxtaposition and
relationship to the
initial central point of
gravity.Stasis is, as the
name implies, a movement
where activity seems, at
times, almost
suspended. Being also,
as Websterâs Dictionary
reminds us, âa state of
static balance and
equilibrium among
opposing tendencies or
forces,â it develops
various materials,
including ones from the
first movement, without
bringing them to points
of resolution.Flashes is
short and very fast,
evoking in my mind the
quick shimmer of
fireflies, a âsudden
burst of lightâ, but
also a âbrief
timeâ. Perhaps, even,
a âsmileâ?Finally,
the last movement, Vista,
is not only âa view or
outlookâ, but also âa
comprehensive mental view
of a series of remembered
or anticipated
events.â After a
brief recall of the
opening of the second
movement, this movement
brings back all the
important themes of the
first movement in their
original order. But
just as going back can
never really mean going
back in time, the
movement is much more
than recapitulatory. By
cutting through
previously transitory
passages and presenting
the main ideas in a
fashion more direct yet
more evolved, it also
sheds new light on
earlier events, offering
a retrospective, synoptic
view of the first
movement as it brings to
culmination the work as a
whole. âVistasâ was
commissioned by C.
Geraldine Freund for the
Taneyev String Quartet of
what was then
Leningrad. It was the
first commission given in
this country to a Soviet
chamber ensemble since
the 1985 cultural
exchange accord between
the Soviet Union and the
United States.
