      Rondo Remi

      By Martin Lass

      Regular price $35.00 Sale

      For string quartet, c.5'50.  Level of difficulty - Intermediate.
      With optional Violin III from Viola.

      The name, Rondo Remi, is wordplay around the form of the work and the first three notes of the scale, which appear in sequence as the first three notes of the first melody. The work is more romantic than classical in nature, even though conceived along the lines of a classical string quartet. The contrasting sections keep the listener's interest even though the melodies return repeatedly.
      Composed 2003, rev. 2023.

          String Quartet

          By John Terry

          Regular price $140.00 Sale

          String Quartet in three movements, c.21'00

          The first movement has flowing melodic modal lines alongside dissonant stabbing harmonies.  The second comprises quickly-changing tempi plus instrumental arguments and counter-arguments.  The finale highlights frequent character-changes including playfulness and counterpoint against thick homophonic stabbings.  The cello plays a soloistic role throughout, often in counter-relationship with other players.

          Three movements for String Quartet

          This work follows somewhat classical principles in its conception and structure. Much of the harmonic and melodic material of all three movements is derived from (i) a twelve note tone row; and (ii) the use of modes. The use of the tone row is not entirely strict, and it frequently appears in almost tonal contexts.
          Composed 2015

          String Quartet

          By Meta Overman

          Regular price $100.00 Sale

          String Quartet.

          The quartet is in four movements using the traditional structure of fast, fast (scherzo), slow and fast. The opening movement is canonic and the writing simplistic but motivic, based on a rhythmical rather than a harmonic motive. The motives are established at the beginning of each movement and underpin the structure of the whole movement. The third movement melody is a tone row which appears firstly in violin 1 and then is adopted by all four instruments. The final movement is a fast dance.
          • Allegro moderato
          • Allegro scherzando
          • Adagio sostenuto
          • Allegro

          Composed in 1939

          Edited by Jeanell Carrigan.

          String Quartet 1

          By Timothy Franklin

          Regular price $75.00 Sale

          String Quartet in five movements.

          Movement I is the modification to the classical formal structure. It serves as a prelude to the more formally and harmonically complex later movements. Movement II is the start of the ‘classical’ quartet structure – a traditionally brisk opening movement in a minimalist sonata form.
          Movement III is a slow movement in ternary form, featuring harmony consisting largely of structures generated using stacked fifths of various types.
          Movement IV is a Scherzo featuring a needling chromatic melody that is not quite in the key of F minor.
          Movement V is in a form inspired by a certain Beethoven piano sonata in C minor, that of a sonata form with a slow introduction. It utilises an odd meter to convey both aggressive and ‘singing’ material, and synthesises intervallic, polytonal, and modal harmonic approaches.
