The Full
Score for Peter Maxwell
Davies' fourth in a
series of ten string
quartets commissioned by
the Naxos Recording
company, first performed
by the Maggini Quartet on
20th August 2004 at the
Chapel of the Royal
Palace, Oslo, Norway, as
part of the Olso Chamber
Music Festival. Composer
Note: The fourth Naxos
quartet was written in
January and February of
2004, with the intention
of producing something
lighter and much less
fierce than its
predecessor, an
unpremeditated and
spontaneous reaction to
the illegal invasion of
Iraq. I returned to the
well-known Brueghel
picture of children's
games (1560, now in
Vienna), which had been
the inspiration for my
sixth Strathclyde
Concerto, for flute and
orchestra. These
illustrations liberated
my musical imagination,
but I feel it would limit
the listener's perception
to be too specific about
which game relates to
exactly which section of
the work. Suffice it to
say that there is
vigorous play -
leap-frog, bind the devil
with a cord, truss,
wrestling - alongside
quieter pastimes - masks,
guess whom I shall
choose, courting, odds
and evens. The single
movement juxtaposes these
activities as abruptly
and intimately as they
occur in Brueghel. Rather
as the eye is taken into
different perspectives
and proportions of scale
within the picture,
taking liberties which
would never be present
in, for instance,
Brunelleschi
architectural drawings,
so here, with a constant
sequence of
transformation processes,
I have distorted the
neat, precise
implications of modal
progression, expressed in
the unison opening phrase
(from F to B through A
sharp/B flat), so that
the ear is led, en route,
into the sound
equivalents of strange
passageways and closed
rooms: sicut exposition
ludus. As work on the
quartet progressed I
became aware that I was
reading into, and behind
the games, adult motives
and implications,
concerning aggression and
war, with their
consequences. It was
impossible to escape into
innocent childhood
fantasy. The nature of
the F to B progression
underlying the whole
construction derives from
a passage in the
development of the first
movement of Mahler's
Third Symphony, and the
opening of Schoenberg's
Second String Quartet.
However, unlike in these
models, here a real - if
temporary - sense of
resolution occurs at the
close of the quartet: as
when the curtain falls on
the reconciled Count and
Countess in 'Figaro' one
wonders how long the F/B
truce will hold, and
games break out again.
The quartet is dedicated
to Giuseppe Rebecchini,
Roman architect, and
friend since the
nineteen-fifties.

(A Breath of the
Untimely) was first
written for solo Flute
and dedicated to Aurele
Nicolet. Its bears the
subtitle Lament on the
Loss of Musical Thought -
some Madrigals for Solo
Flute or Flute with any
other Instruments. This
serves as a playing
instruction but doubles
at the same time as an
outmoded programme: it
refers back to the
musical origin of the
opening lamenting motif,
a tradition which was
once of its time but is
not of our time - namely
the Lamento genre which
gave the title to the
Chaconne in Purcell's
opera Dido and Aeneas.
Almost simultaneously I
wrote a second version
for Piano (for Piano
one-and-a-half hands),
which already formulates
possible approaches for
the performer, in some
detail, to the indicated,
quasi-canonic version of
the piece in the
programme. The multiple
version Ein Hauch von
Unzeit III realizes a
concrete version of a
formal state which floats
between strict canon and
aleatoric principles:
each of the musicians who
are spread throughout the
hall introduces their own
idiomatic translation of
the flute part. And so
the music exists,
omnipresent, not only
spatially throughout the
hall, but also formally
in a sort of fluctuating
simultaneity. For that
reason, it was my express
wish to any potential
interpreter that they
should construct entirely
their own version of the
piece. A healthy number
of musicians have
responded to my
suggestion - versions of
the piece have now been
made for guitar
(Cornelius Schwehr,
Gunther Schneider),
accordion (Hugo Noth),
double bass (Fernando
Grillo), violin
(Hansheinz Schneeberger),
viola, violoncello, and
double bass (trio basso,
Koln), violoncello
(Michael Bach), trombone
(Andrew Digby) and,
created by myself, a sung
version for voice (to
words by Georg Wilhelm
Friedrich Hegel und Max
Bense), and for viola.The
most important
requirement for the whole
piece is absolute
stillness, which should
as far as possible
emanate from the
performer. The pauses are
occasionally in this
respect the most
important element. These
may, if one can find the
necessary stillness,
become very long.Ein

Written for
Moray Welsh whilst still
an undergraduate at York
University. This piece
was completed in
mid-September. Inspired
by Hermann Hesse's
Steppenwolf. A solo
'cello seemed an
appropriate medium for
music which might explore
the character of Harry
Haller, with his desire
for bourgeois comfort and
his strong misanthropic
and suicidal tendencies.
The opening theme
attempts to express this
- melancholy, nostalgic,
a bit Biedermeyer (cf.
Brahms Intermezzi). The
basic theme of the book,
at its simplest, is that
every human personality
consists of hundred of
different personalities -
within every man there
lurks a wolf. Accordingly
the tendency of my piece
is for all its musical
material to become
distorted, either by
thematic transformation
or by changes of timbre.
There are three movements
played without a break.
The first is a character
portrait of the
Steppenwolf. The second
is concerned in the most
general sort of way with
the dance elements in the
novel - Harry's being
taught to dance and
appreciate low 'popular'
music - a tango is
recapitulated in a waltz
and 'Yearning', a popular
song of the time (1927)
is hinted at. The third
movement concerns the
Masked Ball and the Magic
Theatre. Mozart is one of
Hesse's great loves and
he is repeatedly
mentioned in the book.
Inevitably some Mozart
quotes have been worked
in, the most significant
being a reference to The
Magic Flute 'fire and
water' flute theme in the
middle of the second
movement. Long before I
finished the piece, I was
disenchanted with the
work of Hesse. Much of
Steppenwolf I now find
rather embarrassing and
the claims currently made
for Hesse's greatness
seem to me exaggerated.
Since my piece is in no
important sense
programmatically
specific, this change of
heart doesn't really
matter. ~ David
Blake.

Klezmer Miniatures has
been compiled for young
musicians who, by playing
an instrument, would like
to become acquainted with
the musically-varied
world of Klezmer. The
series comprises two
duos, four trios and two
quartets, which can be
performed with different
combinations of
instruments - violin,
clarinet, flute, cello,
double bass, bass guitar
and trumpet. The
composer, Ferenc Jávori,
is a major figure of
world music in Europe and
is a prolific composer,
orchestrator and
performer. He is the
founder and leader of the
Budapest Klezmer Band.
Jávori was born into a
Hungarian-Jewish
community in Munkács
(Mukacheve, Ukraine),
where the years before
the Second World
Warwitnessed a golden age
of Klezmer, the
traditional, instrumental
folk music of
Yiddish-speaking Jewish
communities. He has
collected and compiled
numerous melodies and
songs from the last
representatives of this
formerly vibrant musical
culture. Each of the
Klezmer Miniatures
reflects a different
traditional genre of
Klezmer. In these pieces
Jávori has used certain
motifs from Moisei
Beregosky's folk music
collection.
