String Quartet No. 1
By Justin Michael Mckay
Regular price
$85.00
String Quartet No. 1 is a post-modern work in five movements, c.22'00
The opening movement is playful and dance-like, with some surprising harmonic shifts. The lyrical second movement, Coiffure, is the original version of what became Coiffure -Serenade for Chamber Orchestra in 2013. The third movement, the emotional heart of the piece, is an hymn in the Phrygian mode, with overtones of minimalism. The fourth movement, a quirky but elegant waltz, provides a lighthearted respite before the concluding movement, a prelude and fugue. Overall, the work maintains a link to the German and Viennese chamber music tradition, with a modern twist. Composed 2011 and 2013.

Regular price

String Quartet in three movements, c.12'40
The music is written especially for competent, non-professional, performers who may wish to engage with contemporary styles of music and who may want to explore music for string quartet that goes beyond that of the traditional repertoire.
The pitch material is based largely on modal resources and is, for the most part, quite straightforward throughout. The main challenge for performers lies within the areas of rhythm and in the precision of the rhythmic interplay between all instruments in the ensemble. In each movement, the music often takes the form of a ‘conversation’ between the instruments, with everyone in the ensemble contributing important melodic elements to the overall texture at various times.
