Ecrite dans un style traditionnel et dotée d'une mélodie accrocheuse, You Are My Sunshine est certainement l'une des chansons d'amour américaines les plus populaires du XXe siècle. Dans les années 1940, sa popularité stimula énormément la réputation de ses interprètes d'origine, Jimmie Davis et Charles Mitchell ' au point où elle servit de tremplin à la carrière politique de Davis, qui fut élu, en 1944, au poste de gouverneur de la Louisiane. Arrangée par Mike Sheppard, cette version pour quatuor est très accessible et obtiendra un beau succès lors de votre prochain concert.

Laurie Holloway says: 'Joie de Vivre reflects exactly how I was feeling at the time of composition. I felt full of the good life and happy to be alive. Fortunately I still feel that way. It was originally a solo for me on piano and then it was performed on television by a flautist accompanied by me and now it is where it should be with your clarinet quartet. The movements are all joyful and will hopefully reflect your 'Joie de Vivre' '.

Solo and Chamber Works-Signs Games and Messages are series for solo instruments and small chamber ensembles. Each of the three notions refers to an essential factor in Kurtág's music. Signs ties in with the composer's period of study in Paris as a young man when he could not compose merely put graphic signs on the paper. (Additionally the word points to inspiration gained from the art of Klee and Michaux.) Games links with his nine-volume series for the piano with that title. Messages conveys the very personal content of these works in that these short pieces are actually diary notes and missives to musicians and friends important to Kurtág.The collection - like his earlierfive series for stringed instruments - does not form a coherent cycle. The pieces can be played individually or in various orders or among pieces from Signs Games and Messages written for other instruments.
