Traditional.
Writin
g these arrangements,
Frank Reinshagen has
created little
masterpieces, which
broaden the rhythmical
and harmonic context of
the original tunes in an
interesting manner
without detracting from
their archaic and
melancholic character.
These original tunes have
been borrowed from the
Irish, Scottish, and
Gaelic musical tradition.
These through-composed
arrangements are rather
easy to perform from the
rhythmical and technical
point of view, yet they
are quite demanding in
respect of the key they
are written in, their
intonation and,
especially, their
interpretation. Their
different
instrumentations are
fully compatible with
each other and, due to
their overall structure,
they are also suitable to
be played with
multi-scored parts. The
interpretation of 'S mo
lamh air a stiuir---the
song of a helmsman living
on the Isle of
Skye---should be
interpreted with the
musicians paying careful
attention to its dynamics
and phrasing, which
reflect the up-and-down
motion of the stormy
Artic Ocean. For this
arrangement the key D
minor---which is one
whole tone lower than the
original---has been
chosen to make sure that
the piece is playable,
especially for a clarinet
quartet.

Subtitled
A Little Suite for Four,
the first movement
features a unison melody
written in B minor. In
the second movement, a
leitmotiv with variations
and the use of repeated
jazz phrases is
presented; all four
instruments take turns in
assuming primary and
supporting roles. The
third movement is a
ballad-like theme
featuring soprano and
baritone sax sharing a
pleasant conversation.
The fourth movement goes
on a joyful melodic ride
passing through all the
saxophones parts, one
after the other.

In
1989 when Louis
Andriessen was teaching
at the State University
of New York at Buffalo,
Miles Davis Autobiography
was published.While
reading it, he suddenly
knew what the subject of
his piece for the Kronos
Quartet should be - early
be-bop licks and
especially the work of
Charlie Parker. He wanted
to do the impossible -
be-bop is not at all
idiomatic for string
instruments. But be-bop
had been an important
influence on his musical
development when he was
young, and he decided to
do something with this
music from his youth.
Basically the essence of
Charlie Parkers playing
is the extremely fast
tempo. This fast tempo is
really fast, because the
playing is based upon the
chord structure of
existing melodies which
are sometimes played two
or three times as fast as
normal. Parker needed
speed to express what he
musically felt: little
time was left for him.
This is the main
explanation of the title
of the work.In the
beginning of Facing
Death, Andriessen
literally quotes
fragments of Charlie
Parker improvisations. He
also quotes one original
melody: Ornithology
(which is based on How
High the Moon). The 7th
and 8th bars of
Ornithology become an
important motif inthe
piece. The whole
composition is one long
development in Parker's
fast tempo. This work was
composed in 1990 for
string quartet and later
arranged for saxophone
quartet.
