This work for violin and piano by Martin Bresnick is a play on the words suite and bittersweet. Each of the four movements is based on a Yiddish folk song, which in English translate to On the Road, My Resting Place, Black Cat, and Dona, Dona. Each of the four pieces is primarily based on a Jewish folk song, but re-envisions them in a modern context, akin to Bartok and Kodaly. The composer noted, I found it a very challenging, yet touching way to remain in contact with some part of my own past that I don't usually reveal. The title references the difficult (bitter) and pleasant (sweet) aspects of experiencing the tumultuous history of a people through their folk music.This work for violin and piano by Martin Bresnick is a play on the words suite and bittersweet.

Thanks to a stipend from his patron, the Landgrave Moritz von Hessen-Kassel, Schutz was able to pursue a three-year period of study under Giovanni Gabrieli in Venice from 1609 to 1612, which he concluded with the publication in 1611 of the madrigal collection Il Primo Libro de Madrigali. Already in this, his Opus primus, Schutz emerged as an outstanding composer: In their musical quality, the 18 five-part madrigals exceed much that was still being composed in the traditional madrigal style at the beginnning of the 17th century.

Originally composed for clarinet quartet, this minimalist habanera swings between two chords in a melancholy way until a rather lively middle section is reminiscent of Astor Piazzolla's bitter-sweet harmony. On the CD Blue Silence (Vexations840 1202) the Acacia Quartet combined this piece with Silver Pearls (979-0-2025-3342-0), Silver Poetry (979-0-2025-3341-3) and Silver Eucalypt (979-0-2025-3331-4) to form Silver Suite. Whether played individually or as a four-movement group - this is a charming new repertoire for both professional and amateur ensembles!
