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.
Composed 2012

String Quartet

By Tony Wheeler

Regular price $70.00 Sale

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 No. 1

By Justin Michael Mckay

Regular price $85.00 Sale

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.

By Hugh Dixon

Regular price $55.00 Sale

Sacred Space has a dual symbology, a musical one and a spatial one. Musically, the notes of the harmonic or overtone series, with both violins up high and the viola and cello low, simulate a spatial effect. c.10'00

String Quartet No. 4

By John Peterson

Regular price $80.00 Sale

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.
