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.

We begin with an invitation to discover a work: Sigrid Naumann offers improvisational preliminary exercises that pave the way to the various pieces and are helpful for learning it. The stylistic palette is extraordinarily varied here. The pieces encompass all epochs from Baroque to classical modernity (Bartok, Kabalevsky, Kurtag, B. Heller); in addition, there are also traditionals and pieces from presentday piano pedagogy. Afterwards we distance ourselves again, for the second invitation goes out to the thematically grouped pieces that open up a variety of possibilities for free formative shaping. The new Spielregeln - Spielraume have proven themselves in practice and are supplied with insightful comments.Exploring the Rules and the Rooms of the Game Spielregeln - Spielraume (Rules of the Game - Rooms of the Game) is a dual invitation for free music-making at the piano.

YT fills a great need in Orff classrooms--opportunities for intermediate grade students to extend their individual musicianship from basic, whole class activities, to individual creativity. To reach this goal, most of the 26 units in YT begin with a short, simple core activity (song, jump rope rhyme, poem) that can be easily learned. Next, students are given choices to expand the arrangement through one or more of six avenues (speech, gesture, movement, improvisation, tone color, form). Students create their own final product with as much individuality as they choose.
