Quartettino

Günter Habicht composed music for folk instruments and contributions to educational literature as well as works for wind orchestra, chamber and orchestral music, including the “Sinfonietta”, published in 1964 by VEB Breitkopf & Härtel Musikverlag Leipzig, and the award-winning “Quartettino 1969” for wind instruments, created for a composition contest organized by the Association of Composers and Musicologists on the occasion of the GDR’s 20th anniversary. With an easy piano accompaniment, the sonatina for clarinet and piano “Temperaments”, written in the same year, is particularly aimed at more advanced music students and amateur musicians. Each of the three movements represents one temperament (1. sanguine type, 2. melancholic type, 3. choleric type) that needs to be worked out during the rehearsals.
From 1935 to 1939, Günter Habicht (1916–2010) studied with Herbert Viecenz and Boris Blacher (music theory and composition) and with Walther Meyer-Giesow and Ernst Hintze (conducting) at the Dresden Conservatory. In 1951, Günter Habicht taught at an elementary school in Leipzig, and in 1952, he was appointed specialist lecturer for music at the Zentralhaus für Volkskunst. From 1955 to 1981, he was a teacher of music theory and clarinet at the Leipzig City Music School.

F. Violine, Violoncello Und Klavier. Par PLEYEL IGNAZ. Dann sind dermalen Quartetten heraus von einem gewissen Pleyel dieser ist ein Scholar von Joseph Haydn. Wenn Sie selbige noch nicht kennen, so suchen Sie sie zu bekommen, es ist der Mühe werth. Sie werden auch gleich seinen Meister herauskennen. Gut und glücklich für die Musik, wenn Pleyel seiner Zeit im Stande ist, uns Haydn zu remplacieren! So schrieb Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart am 24. April 1784 an seinen Vater, um ihn vom neuesten Stand der Wiener Musikszene zu unterrichten. Ein ungewöhnlich klarer Einsatz für einen Kollegen aus der Feder eines Musikers, der sich mit Lob sonst eher zurückhielt und auch keine Scheu kannte, sich kritisch über Kollegen zu äußern.

The Ecstasies Above commissioned from the Robert Baker Commissioning Fund for Sacred Music by Yale Institute of Sacred Music was premièred by Yale Schola Cantorum under the direction of Simon Carrington on 4th March 2007 in Woolsey Hall Yale University. The minimum number of singers required is 16 (two each per chorus part together with the solo voices); however a larger number for the main chorus (16-32 voices for example) is more suitable. The string quartet and the two solo vocal quartets should be placed in front of the chorus. The vocal quartets should be spatially separated from each other. Depending on the venue and the size of the chorus the string quartetmay need to be amplified.
