It was the practice of Khoomii (throat singing) - following several workshops with Michael Ormiston - that first attracted me to Tuvan music. Composing this Songbook, the first in a series commissioned by the Ligeti Quartet, I took the chance to reflect on compositional questions around transcription and arrangement of existing music, and frequently found myself asking: where is the boundary between the source material and the new substance? Of course the relationship varies from piece to piece, and moment to moment: sometimes we seem to glimpse the pure source, but most of the time there are differing degrees of distance, working towards or away from it. This new version for string orchestra corresponds closely to the original quartet version, with an additional part for double basses.The traditional Tuvan songs that I have transcribed and recomposed are all known to me from the Ay Kherel CD The Music of Tuva: Throat Singing and Instruments from Central Asia (2004, Arc Music). According to the notes from that CD, this is what the songs are about:1. Dyngylday: If you have come on a horse in blue, it doesn't mean that you are the best. My heart tells me something else: my sweetheart doesn't have such a beautiful horse, but he is my darling.An alternative interpretation from Alash Ensemble (alashensemble.com): The word dyngylday is a nonsense term with no translation. The song makes good-humored fun of somebody for being a good-for-nothing.2. Eki Attar (The Best Steeds): The horse is the basis of our life. It is a magic creature. Even its step is full of music and rhythm. You may not be a horse rider, but when you hear this song you will always remember horses.3. Kuda Yry: This wedding song glorifies the strength of the groom and the beauty of his Horse.4. Ezir-Kara ('Black Eagle'): This was the name of a horse, who became a legend through his remarkable strength and speed.It is not just overtones that abound here: there are galloping rhythms aplenty, and though I am no horse rider I tried to keep the horses galloping in my imagination while composing these pieces.Christian Mason (with quotes from Ay Kherel and Alash Ensemble)World premiere of the original version: London/UK, May 10, 2016, World premiere of the string orchestra version: Clermont-Ferrand/France, October 8, 2020.

Moon River was written especially for Audrey Hepburn to sing and originally featured on the soundtrack for the movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s. The song has been covered by many other artists and has remained well-known for many years. This love song to a river also makes a wonderful instrumental work, especially so on stringed instruments. Nico Dezaire’s sensitive arrangement for string quartet gives each member of the ensemble the opportunity to play the wistful melody.Het speciaal voor Audrey Hepburn geschreven nummer Moon River maakte oorspronkelijk deel uit van de soundtrack voor de film Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Al snel werd het echter door vele zangers en zangeressen gecoverd en ontpopte het zich blijvend tot een wereldwijde hit. Dit liefdesliedje voor een rivier is ook een heerlijk instrumentaal werkje, vooral voor strijkinstrumenten. Nico Dezaires gevoelige arrangement voor strijkkwartet geeft elk lid van het ensemble de gelegenheid om de weemoedige melodie te spelen.Moon River war ursprünglich Teil des Soundtracks zum Hollywood-Klassiker Breakfast at Tiffany's und der jungen Audrey Hepburn auf den Leib geschrieben. Schon bald wurde der Song von zahlreichen Sängern gecovert und trat so seinen Siegeszug um die Welt an, der bis heute anhält. Diese musikalische Liebeserklärung an einen Fluss lässt sich natürlich auch bestens instrumental darstellen, besonders schön auf Streichinstrumenten. Nico Dezaire lässt in seinem einfühlsamen Arrangement für Streichquartett jeden der vier Musiker an der sehnsuchtsvollen Melodie teilhaben.Moon River a été écrit spécialement pour Audrey Hepburn et figure sur la bande originale du film Diamants sur canapé. Peu après, la chanson s’est vue reprise par de nombreux artistes, et est ainsi devenue le succès mondial qu’elle reste toujours. Cette chanson d’amour pour une rivière se prête aussi une interprétation instrumentale, particulièrement par des instruments cordes. Cet arrangement délicat de Nico Dezaire pour quatuor cordes permet chaque membre de l’ensemble de jouer la mélodie mélancolique.

Cinema has always aimed to do one thing above all else: arouse emotions. Yet however exciting, entertaining or fascinating a story might be, its full impact is really only felt with the help of the right music. While most original soundtracks demand a large orchestra, a much smaller ensemble is sufficient: Anthony Gröger has taken ten of the all-time most beautiful film scores and created stunning arrangements for string quartet. In keeping with the Pops for String Quartet series, this volume also includes an optional third violin part in case a viola is not available. This is an indispensable collection for any occasion!Van oudsher is de film bovenal bedoeld geweest om emotie op te roepen. Maar hoe spannend, vermakelijk of boeiend een verhaal ook is, pas met de ondersteuning van de juiste muziek komt het volledig tot zijn recht. Hoewel de meeste originele soundtracks een orkest met een grote bezetting vereisen, voldoet in dit geval een kleiner ensemble. Anthony Gröger heeft tien van de mooiste filmmuziektitels verzameld en er prachtige arrangementen voor strijkkwartet van gemaakt. Net als bij de andere uitgaven in de serie Pops for String Quartet bevat ook deze bundel een optionele derde vioolpartij, voor het geval er geen altviool beschikbaar is. Een fraaie collectie met nummers voordiverse gelegenheden! Seit jeher möchte Kino vor allem eines: Emotionen wecken. Doch wie spannend, lustig, interessant eine Story auch immer sein mag erst mit Hilfe der passenden Filmmusik kann sie ihre volle Wirkung entfalten. Während die meisten Soundtracks im Original ein groß besetztes Orchester erfordern, genügt hier bereits eine viel kleinere Besetzung: Anthony Gröger hat sich zehn der schönsten Filmmusik-Titel aller Zeiten vorgenommen und wirkungsvoll für Streichquartett bearbeitet. Eine unverzichtbare Sammlung für Anlässe jeder Art, bei denen ein Streichquartett gefragt ist. Wie in der Serie Pops for String Quartet üblich, enthält das Set auch eine optionale dritteViolinstimme für den Fall, dass keine Bratsche zur Verfügung steht. Le cinéma a toujours cherché, par-dessus tout, éveiller des émotions. Cependant, aussi passionnante, émouvante ou envo tante que soit une histoire, son impact n’est ressenti pleinement que si elle est accompagnée d’une musique appropriée. Bien que la plupart des bandes sonores exigent un grand orchestre, un ensemble beaucoup plus modeste suffit. Anthony Gröger a pris dix des plus belles musiques de films de tous les temps et produit de splendides arrangements pour quatuor cordes. Comme les autres volumes de la série Pops for String Quartet, le présent ouvrage comprend une troisième partie facultative pour violon au cas où un alto ne serait pas disponible. Voiciune collection indispensable pour toutes les occasions !

This humorous little vignette for string quartet was composed in 1979 and was originally intended to be published by Piedmont Music, the ASCAP division of EB Marks Classical. For reasons unknown, however, it remained in manuscript form until 2021, when a copy of the composer's autograph parts was discovered in the archives of a completely different Alan Shulman piece. This newly engraved Latham Music edition therefore represents the first publication of Shulman's delightful work, as well as the first full score. As the title suggests, this is a medium-slow rag, or cakewalk in a loose AABA form. The bluesy and graceful main melody is introduced by the first violin in a call and response exchange with the rest of the ensemble. The restatement of the primary theme is led by the second violin, with the entire ensemble playing pizzicato, having the effect of playful mockery. In the B section, the first violin earnestly reasserts the stately grace from the opening however, the cello is clearly becoming restless and decides to take over the lead just before the final reprise. The lighthearted ending again has the first violin doing its best to bring the tune to a refined conclusion, but the rest of the group still has mischief in mind. After a couple moments of seeming confusion, the ensemble regroups at last and plays the final riff with resolute emphasis. If you're looking to add a light moment to a recital program, or looking for a short, medium level contest piece that players and audiences alike will enjoy, this little miniature is an ideal choice!

Finally a clean, modern edition of six quartets by the Chevalier de Saint-Georges (Joseph Bologne) clearly edited with bowings and fingerings by Endre Granat. These early works fit stylistically in the Classical period, with most of the thematic material in Violin 1. However, everyone in the quartet will shine at some point in the music. The quartets are quite playable by student ensembles and professional groups will find them absolutely charming. Set includes full score and 4 parts.
