'A coming
and going...' - this is
how Barbara Heller
describes the essence of
her second string quartet
La Caleta ('small bay').
Barbara Heller got the
inspiration to write this
work from the calm,
gentle and constant
movements of the waves at
the beach of a small bay
on the isle of La Gomera.
The quiet, hot day is
reflected in the music:
The slow, calm, almost
quiet music with its open
form should be played and
heard inwardly. The music
comes from nowhere and
disappears into
nothingness like a big
wave. The tonal material,
consisting of wholetone
and semitone steps in
short descending and
ascending movements
produces cluster-like,
floating sounds. An
intense musical
experience, requiring
concentration and peace
of mind.
