This is the
eleventh work in my
chamber music series,
STRATA, and my fourth
string quartet following
STRATA I, V, and IX. This
series started in 1988
based on the idea of
regarding registers as
strata (the plural form
of stratum), from which
the title in derived.
While I continue to write
pieces, however, the
initial concept changed
in various aspects. This
time, I returned to the
original idea To put it
simply, I restarted from
STRATA I. I used the same
instruments and stared at
strara created by the
four string parts. That
became the act of
composing STRATA XI. The
work doesn't have
'development' in the
general sense but
represents a panorama of
strata. It consists of
four movements
(fast-slow-fast-slow). In
fact, before writing the
STRATA series, I wrote a
long string quartet when
I was a student, but I
didn't include it in my
list of works. Anyway,
the thought of writing
string quartet has never
disappeared from me. It
alays weighs heavily on
my mind. Shin-Ichiro
Ikebe.
