(+)
Premiered by the Arditti String Quartet at the Institute of Contemporary Arts ICA London 22nd October 1995. Programme note: SCHREIE UND MELANCHOLIE is dedicated to the Arditti Quartet and was commissioned with support from the Danish Arts Foundation. In the summer of 1993 I worked briefly on some sketches for a choral suite with texts by Georg Trakl. The project was abandoned but the moods from Trakl's poetry in which 'scream' and 'melancholy' are key words stuck in my mind when I began working on my fourth string quartet. This is music full of high siren-like wails and almost infinitely descending glissandi which permeate a landscape of warped tonalharmony. SCHREIE UND MELANCHOLIE is in four movements played attacca. The third movement is a barcarole - a memory of an autumn in Venice. (Bent Sørensen)

(+)
Par DUFOURT HUGUES. Il n'y a pas d'équivalent français au mot uneasiness. Faute de mieux on le rend improprement par 'inquiétude' ou 'intranquillité'. Uneasiness traduit un état de malaise et d'inconfort, un état d'âme désordonné, toujours privatif, qui accompagne la frustration, la dépossession, la tristesse, le désespoir, la honte. Uneasiness désigne aussi le tourment de l'absence et l'urgence du manque. C'est une 'passion incommode', à la frontière du désir et de l'espoir différé. John Locke expose ce genre de douleur au chapitre XX du deuxième livre de L'Essai sur l'entendement humain - An Essay Concerning Human Understanding - de 1689. Ce second quatuor, dont j'emprunte le titre à Locke, est animé de la plus pressante des inquiétudes. Ses caractères sont l'extrême agitation, l'instabilité des sentiments, le poison moral, une fermentation de sollicitations imperceptibles. Il gravite autour des soliloques de l'Alto, qui sont autant d'imprécations qui ne s'adressent à personne. C'est en intensifiant le matériau que la musique plonge dans ces arides ténèbres. Elle fréquente les registres extrêmes et explore les combinaisons multiples d'harmoniques artificiels. Tous les éléments musicaux sont soumis au principe de l'altération. Car celle-ci fait germer des dispositions nouvelles au rythme d'une périodicité interne qui est toujours en évolution. La pièce est dédiée au Quatuor Arditti. Hugues Dufourt / contemporain / Répertoire / Quatuor à Cordes

(+)
Par MURAIL TRISTAN. Songes, ombres et fumées : le titre est emprunté à un vers du Sonnet 123 de Pétrarque (l'un des sonnets qui ont inspiré à Liszt trois pièces de ses Années de Pélerinage). Ces mots figurent aussi dans La Vallée Close, sur des sonnets de Pétrarque, pour voix, clarinette et trio à cordes, écrite cette même année 2016. Il s'agit avant tout d'un travail sur la 'grande forme' - une vaste trajectoire, qui passe par de nombreux territoires, revient sur ses pas, anticipe... Allusions aux formes traditionnelles : adagio central, rondo final - mais tout s'entremêle, et les différentes textures et idées musicales luttent entre elles sans cesse. Sont refusés tous les petits expédients qui permettent d'esquiver la grande question - la question posée par une forme musicale aussi chargée d'histoire que le quatuor à cordes - sont donc évités tous ces sons écrasés, divers petits bruits, gloussements d'harmoniques, qui prolifèrent dans tant de quatuors contemporains. Evitée aussi la segmentation en une succession de mouvements courts, au profit de la continuité du discours. Le thème est, comme le suggère le titre, la mélancolie - une mélancolie profonde et persistante. Une idée fixe (battements réguliers de pizzicati) jalonne la partition, s'affronte aux autres éléments musicaux, finira par triompher. Au long de cette trajectoire jailliront des visions, des hallucinations, des phases de dépression et d'excitation, de renoncement, d'espoir, de colère, de révolte... 'sogni, ombre et fumi...' / Contemporain / Répertoire / Quatuor à Cordes

David Matthews: To what God shall we chant: Mixed Choir: Vocal Score

(+)
To what God shall we chant our songs of battle? was commissioned by James O’Donnell and Westminster Abbey for a service of solemn commemoration on 4 August 2014 marking the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War.Stark and gritty yet always rooted in tonality Matthews’s expressive harmonies bring a potent immediacy to the bitter disillusioned words of war poet Harold Monro and the two lyrical solos for soprano and tenor which set passages from the Book of Lamentations and St Luke’s Gospel. Beginning with a violent and impassioned energy this anthem ultimately offers little consolation. In the words of James O’Donnell it ‘leaves you standing on theedge of an abyss’ its impetus petering out in a series of hushed troubled questions.

(+)
À l'automne 1895, suite à son retour définitif de New York, Dvo?ák reprend son activité de professeur au Conservatoire de Prague. Ce retour au pays semble avoir donné un coup de fouet à son énergie créatrice car en seulement quatre semaines il compose un Quatuor en Sol majeur qui - avec celui en La bémol majeur op. 105 - couronne sa production de musique de chambre. Dans ce nouveau quatuor, des échos de musique populaire bohémienne se mélangent à des thèmes chantants, tandis que le développement des motifs révèle un maître au sommet de son art. On a l'impression de pouvoir aujourd'hui encore ressentir la satisfaction qu'avait le compositeur à l'égard de son oeuvre, lui qui écrivait: 'Je travaille avec tellement de facilité et cela me réussit si bien que je ne pourrais rien souhaiter de mieux'. / Quatuor A Cordes

(+)
La durée de vie de Josef Suk (1874-1935), le célèbre compositeur et violoniste professionnel, a été fortement influencé par son appartenance à la célèbre 'Quatuor tchèque' (fondée en 1892). Suk faisait partie du quatuor jusqu'en 1933, se produisant dans près de quatre mille concerts.Le Quatuor à cordes n o 1 en si bémol majeur op. 11 (1896) est la première composition aux côtés de l'op Serenade. 6, qui a été publié par Simrock à la suite de la médiation par Suk père-frère, AntonÃn Dvorák. Dvorák a examiné ce travail du jeune musicien à être 'le meilleur que je connaisse de lui.' Suk a réécrit le quatrième mouvement, vingt ans après son achèvement, parce qu'il n'était pas satisfait de la version originale. En dépit de son utilisation du même matériau thématique, la nouvelle version se distingue donc nettement que ce mouvement est souvent effectué sur lui-même.La principale source de la forme originale du quatuor était la deuxième édition de Simrock. Pour la version alternative de la Finale de la présente édition est basée sur une partition et les parties marquées avec des corrections Suk.- Avec une préface commentaires (Cz / Eng / Ger) et critique (Eng)- Comprend également la dernière version du quatrième mouvement de 1915 / 2 Violons, Alto Et Violoncelle

(+)
Le quatuor à cordes est généralement considéré comme le genre de la musique de chambre de la période classique par excellence: inventé par Haydn développé ensuite avec Mozart et déjà porté à son apogée par Beethoven. Tous les quatuors des compositeurs ultérieurs durent se mesurer à l?aune des ?uvres de ces trois maîtres. Cela est tout particulièrement vrai pour Men-delssohn qui fut toujours considéré comme un «classique romantique». On dit d?ailleurs sou-vent de son quatuor en la mineur op. 13 qu?il présente des accents beethoveniens particulièrement prononcés. Mendelssohn composa ce quatuor à la fin de l?été et au cours de l?automne 1827 soit peu après la parution desquatuors tardifs de Beethoven dont il avait certainement eu connaissance. Le quatuor en Mi bémol majeur op. 12 vit le jour deux ans plus tard lors de son premier voyage en Angleterre. Fidèle à l?original la partition des deux quatuors est parue dans la collection des éditions d?étude (HN 9270).

(+)
Kevin Volans' String Quartet No. 9: Shiva Dances was commissioned by BBC Radio 3 and first performed by the Smith Quartet at the 2004 Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival.Kevin Volans (the composer) notes on the piece:In the past I have been interested in trying to go beyond historicism (1970s) beyond style(1980s) and beyond form (1990s) in my work. Looking back over the music of the twentiethcentury I was struck by the fact the nearlyall of it is extremely 'busy' almost cluttered. Italmost seemed that composers felt compelled to look industrious. In the new millennium Ithought it would be interesting to try and eliminate content. I also aspired to movingfrommusic (sound as art) to art (art as sound). This of course has already been done by a numberof composers (many from New York Phil Niblock and La Monte Young to name but two) butit was something I had never tried.AlthoughI found it annoying that the label 'minimalist' was given to my African-based work and fearing this would make the label stick I set out to write a piece which reflected my loveof minimal painting and architecture. The Japanesehave a term 'wabi' meaning 'voluntarypoverty' or 'emptiness' to describe their restrained minimal aesthetic an aesthetic which however pays greatest attention to the quality of material and fine detail. I like to think thatthelack of excessive pitch material in this piece reflects a kind of voluntary poverty.When Shiva is portrayed dancing (as Nataraj) He is depicted in a circle of flames crushing asmall figure the ego underfoot.You get theimpression He dances on the spot not movingaround at all. I like that.The piece is dedicated to Pablo Pascual Cilleruelo.
