Charles Camilleri (1931 - 2009) was a Maltese composer. As a teenager, he composed a number of works based on folk music and legends of his native Malta. He moved from his early influences by Maltese folk music to a musical form in which nothing is fixed and his compositions evolve from themselves with a sense of fluency and inevitability. He composed over 100 works for orchestra, chamber ensemble, voice and solo instruments. Camilleri's work has been performed throughout the world and his research of folk music and improvisation, the influences of the sounds of Africa and Asia, together with the academic study of European music, helped him create a universal style. Camilleri is recognized in Malta as one of the major composers of his generation. He died on 3 January 2009 at the age of 77. His funeral took place two days later at Naxxar, his long-time town of residence. Flags across Malta were flown at half-mast in tribute to him.

Wer kennt es nicht, das Lied 'Guantanamera'? Auf eine Melodie des kubanischen Musikstils Guajira und einen Text des dortigen Nationalhelden Jose Marti zuruckgehend, wurde sie von Jose Fernandez Diaz in den 30er-Jahren als Refrain zu Improvisationen uber aktuelle Tagesthemen benutzt. Pete Seeger griff das Marti-Original 1963 bei einem Konzert in der New Yorker Carnegie-Hall wieder auf - es wurde zu einer 'Hymne' der amerikanischen Gewerkschaftsbewegung. In unzahligen Versionen ist der Titel seitdem gesungen worden, bis hin zum Rudi-Voller-Schlachtgesang, der im Jahre 2002 in den Fussballstadien widerhallte. Die vorliegende Ausgabe gibt Gelegenheit, den Welthit nun mit Klaviertrio zu musizieren - viel Vergnugen!

Improvisational energy inherent in music that spouts The Savage Mind, which is mentioned by Japanese musicologist and anthopologist Masakuni Kitazawa in his book Sound as Metaphor, always fascinates me. One of the aims of writing this work was to test whether a highly refined medium like a string quartet can produce the energy. 'Inherent in music' mentioned above can be restated as 'inherent in human being.' Beyond the intellectual inquiring mind, I hope this worl is strongly connected to 'living in the present.'
