This
SATB divisi concert piece
was inspired by those who
leave us too soon and
reminds us that they live
on in our memories. The
piece opens with a piano
motif establishing the
melodic material on which
will be developed. Upon
the entrance of the
voices, a unison melody
soon cascades into
falling SSA harmonies and
echoes. The piece picks
up tempo with a rhythmic
drive and a TB feature
that expands into full
choir before going into a
developing section that
introduces the Latin
phrase “Stellae in
Aeternum†meaning
“Forever with the
stars.†A broad
musical climax features
numerous overlapping
independent melodies
previously featured
before a dramatic final
key change and a slow,
soft ending.

Five Pieces
for Violin and Orchestra
was commissioned by
Frederick Grinke and
completed on 20 December
1961. The BBC Symphony
Orchestra with Frederick
Grinke (violin) and
conducted by the
composer, gave the first
performance on 31 July
1962 at the Royal Albert
Hall, London during the
BBC Proms season. This
work is so constructed
that each piece is
complete in itself and
can be played separately,
while at the same time
the whole set of five
constitutes a structural
unit. A basic motif
consisting of a rising
semitone followed by a
falling tone, and its
inversion plays an
important part in every
piece. Thus the first
piece, which is of a slow
and meditative character,
begins with this theme in
the bass. It is also
heard in the first entry
of the solo part, and
thereafter every episode
is in some way derived
from it. The next piece,
a vigorous and strongly
marked 'allegro', uses
the semitone of the
original figure as its
starting point. A second
theme appears, first on
the horns and is later
taken up by the solo
violin, while a third
section has the initial
idea as its
accompaniment. Next comes
an extended scherzo in
free form very closely
based on initial motif.
The fourth is a purely
melodic piece containing
allusions in its middle
section to the basic
figure. Here the strings
only are used for
accompaniment. In the
first section, violas and
cellos are divided in the
middle section, and all
the strings are used in
the last, which is
otherwise an almost exact
repetition of the
opening. The Finale is a
lighter movement than the
others, concerned mainly
with giving the soloist
material for display, but
not unconnected with what
has gone before.

With its height
of 4,808 meters,
Mont-Blanc is called
“the roof of
Europe.†The
highest mountains on our
planet have been
insurmountable for a long
time. Only in the past
250 years have those
giants been mounted.
Crystal-hunter Jacques
Balmat and Michel-Gabriel
Paccard, a doctor, were
the first to climb
Mont-Blanc, in 1786. Many
paths lead to
Mont-Blanc's peak: the
regular ascent goes
through the magnificent
“voie royale of
Saint-Gervais-les-
Bains,†which was
opened in August 1855 by
the Englishmen Hudson,
Kennedy, and Smythe.
Today's most common route
to climb up, starting
from Saint-Gervais via
Aiguille du Gou ter
(3,863m), Do me du Gou
ter (4,304m), and Are te
des Bosses (4,547m), was
first used in 1861. Otto
M. Schwarz composed this
work inspired by
“the roof of
Europe†with its
luminous and huge
glaciers. Early in the
morning, mountain
climbers set off to the
peak; they witness the
sunrise, and experience
the hazards that the
journey up to the summit
brings along. A snowstorm
and falling rocks at Are
te des Bosses aggravate
their journey. A sudden
change of weather,
however, enables them to
reach the top after a
strenuous ascent. This
piece invites you to an
imaginary journey from
Saint-Gervais-les-Bains
via the “voie
royale†to the top
of Mont-Blanc.

This
work follows my Quartet
No. 1 by five years. In
terms of style and
aesthetic aim, however,
it seems light years
away. Where the first
work, a 28-minute,
four-movement piece, took
aim at cosmic conflicts
and heroic resolutions,
the present work is
intended as a kind of
divertissment. Harbor
Music lasts a mere eleven
minutes, is cast in a
single movement with six
sections, and should
leave both performers and
listeners with a feeling
of good humor and
affection. The
title comes from my
experience as a guest in
the magnificent city of
Sydney, Australia. One of
its most attractive
features is its unique
system of ferry boats:
the city is laid out
around a large,
multi-channeled harbor,
with destinations more
easily approached by
water than by land.
Consequently, inhabitants
of Sydney get around on
small, people-friendly
boats that come and go
from the central docks at
Circular Quay. During a
week's visit in 1991, I
must have boarded these
boats at least a dozen
times, always bound for a
new location - the resort
town of Manley, or the
Zoo at Taronga Park, or
the shopping district at
Darling Harbour.
In casting about for a
form for my second string
quartet, a kind of loose
rondo came to mind. Each
new destination would be
approached from the same
starting-out point
(although there are
subtle variations in the
repeating theme; it's
always in a new key, and
the texture is never the
same). The result, I
hope, is a sense of
constant new information
presented with
introductory frames of a
more familiar nature.
The embarkation
theme, which begins the
piece, is a sort of
bi-tonal fanfare in which
the violins are in G
major and the viola and
cello are in B-flat
major. It is bold, eager,
and forward-looking. The
first voyage maintains
this bi-tonality,
beginning as a 9/8 due
for second violin and
viola in a kind of
rocking motion -much as a
boat produces when
reaching the deeper water
in the harbor. A sweet,
nostalgic theme emerges
over this rocking
accompaniment. This music
is developed somewhat,
then transforms quickly
into a much faster and
lighter episode, filled
with rising and falling
scales (again, in
differing keys). A
scherzando interlude in
short notes and changing
meters provides contrast,
and the episode ends with
a reprise of the scales.
The second
embarkation follows, this
time in A major/C major.
It leads quickly into a
very warm and slow theme,
in wide-leaping intervals
for the viola. This
section is interrupted
twice by solo cadenzas
for the cello, suggesting
distant boat-horns in
major thirds. The end of
the episode becomes a
transition, with
boat-horns leading into
the final appearance of
the embarkation music,
this time in trills and
tremolos instead of
sharply accented chords.
The nostalgic theme of
the first episode makes a
final appearance, serving
now as a coda. The
rocking motion continues,
in a lullaby fashion,
leaving us drowsy and
satisfied on our homeward
journey. Harbor
Music was written for the
Cavani Quartet, and is
dedicated to Richard J.
Bogomolny. Commissioned
by his employees at First
National Supermarkets as
a gift, it represents a
thank you from many of
the people (including
this composer) who have
benefitted from his
vision and generosity. An
ardent advocate of
chamber music (and a
cellist himself), Mr.
Bogomolny has for many
years been Chairman of
the Board of Chamber
Music America. -- Dan

McCabe's
Pueblo
for solo Double
Bass. Duration: approx. 7
minutes.
Pueblo
is an off-shoot of a
series of compositions
inspired by desert
country, and it was
commissioned by Leon
Bosch with the aid of
funds provided by North
West Arts. The piece is
continous, falling into
several sections, and is
largeley based on the
high circling motif heard
at the start and referred
to again in the harmonics
at the close.
It is
prefaced by the following
quotation from Scenes in
American Deserta by
Reyner Banham, published
by Thames and
Hudson:
'Clouds, high and
flat, were now building
up in thesky, the wind
was settling to silent
calm, the weather was
very cold, and the stream
through the center of the
pueblo was almost frozen
across, the Indians
chipping out ice to melt
down for water.'
The aim in writing
the piece was to express
in musical terms a
response to the vivid
picture of a scene
relating to life in the
American desert conveyed
by Reyner Banham's text.
Although not numbered
among other Desert works,
this belongs to this
family of compositions,
along with another Banham
setting, written for the
King's Singers, Scenes In
America Deserta. -

harpsichord soloFirst
there is a mountain, then
there is no mountain,
then there isThe title
literally Ascending Twins
- was borrowed from
astrological terminology
but refers, purely
musically, to two
essential circumnstances
in the work: A constant
duplicity in the melodic
basis, as well as an
almost constantly
ascending tendency. Even
when - as is the case in
the start - falling
figures appear, the
combination of several
such figures produces an
ascending impression.
GEMINI RISING was
composed for Elisabeth
Chojnacka and premiered
at a concert in
Copenhagen in November
1990.Per Norgard.
