Original tekst

Commissioned by the Presteigne Festival of Music and the Arts Limited, with funds provided by the Arts Council of Wales, for premiere in August 2012 by the Carducci String Quartet in St. Andrew’s Church, Presteigne. Composer's Note. "Some years ago I noted down the opening theme of what I anticipated would be a relatively Classical string quartet – “Classical” in the sense of the forms adopted, plus perhaps a predominantly lyrical tone of voice. The commission for this work, from the Presteigne Festival for their 30th anniversary in 2012, gave me the opportunity of putting into practice this long-held idea. It is dedicated to the Festival and to the Carducci Quartet, whose career, as much-admired friends and colleagues, I have greatly enjoyed. The only break with “classical” tradition is that there are five movements instead of four, with two Scherzi as the second and third, though both these are very short and contrasting. I found myself listening to Haydn’s string quartets a lot before and during the composition of this work, and I hope the spirit of his delight in writing for this medium is echoed in my own music. The opening movement is in sonata form, unusually for me, and lyricism is, I hope, the basis of it, though there is a good deal of activity at times. The Scherzo, light and marked by frequently-changing rhythms, is followed by an equally short but ferocious Perpetuum mobile, marked Wild und rasch. one of my favourite German tempo markings. The fourth movement is an intense Adagio, in which a single phrase uttered strongly in unison is gradually transformed into gentle diatonic chords before the close, intermingled with cadenzas for cello, for viola, and for the two violins together. The finale. a Rondo. resumes the classical tone of the first movement, but apart from one dance-like episode it builds up a fair head of steam towards a final Presto, which however ascends, slows and quietens, towards a gentle summer sky at dusk.

Bestilt af Presteigne Festival of Music og Arts Limited, med midler fra Kunstrådet i Wales, for premiere i august 2012 af Carducci Strygekvartet i Saint Andrews-kirken, Presteigne. Komponist note. "For nogle år siden bemærkede jeg ned åbningen tema, hvad jeg forventede ville være en forholdsvis klassisk strygekvartet -" Klassisk "i den forstand af de former vedtaget, plus måske en overvejende lyrisk tone. Kommissionen for dette arbejde, fra Presteigne Festival for deres 30 års jubilæum i 2012, gav mig mulighed for i praksis at denne mangeårig idé. Det er dedikeret til festivalen og til Carducci kvartetten, hvis karriere, som beundrede venner og kolleger, har jeg stærkt nydt. Den eneste brud med "klassiske" tradition er, at der er fem bevægelser i stedet for fire, med to Scherzi som det andet og tredje, selvom begge disse er meget kort og kontrast. Jeg befandt mig at lytte til Haydns strygekvartetter meget før og under sammensætningen af ​​dette arbejde, og jeg håber, at ånden i hans glæde skriftligt for dette miljø, går igen i min egen musik. Åbningen bevægelse er i sonateform usædvanligt for mig, og lyrik er, håber jeg, at grundlaget for det, selvom der er en hel del aktivitet på tidspunkter. Den Scherzo, lys og præget af ofte skiftende rytmer, er efterfulgt af en lige så kort, men voldsom Perpetuum mobile, mærket Wild und Rasch. en af ​​mine foretrukne tyske tempo markeringer. Den fjerde bevægelse er en intens Adagio, hvor en enkelt sætning sagt kraftigt i kor er efterhånden omdannet til blide diatoniske akkorder inden afslutningen, blandet med kadencer for cello, for bratsch, og for de to violiner sammen. Finalen. en Rondo. genoptager den klassiske tone i den første bevægelse, men bortset fra en dans-lignende episode det opbygger en retfærdig leder af damp hen imod en endelig Presto, som dog stiger, bremser og quietens, hen imod en blid sommer himmel ved solnedgang.
