Howl for Narrator and String Quartet
Written for the Poem “Howl” by Allen Ginsberg
Lee Hyla

The rhythm and tone of Allen Ginsberg’s reading of the poem Howl was a main inspiration for Lee Hyla in this ferocious setting. In this score, the narrator and string quartet are equal partners in an often shifting relationship, occasionally uniting in a close and intense rhythmic world and sometimes telling similar stories in separate ways.

String Quartet (1905)
Anton von Webern

Anton von Webern’s inspiration for The String Quartet came from the triptych, a painting by Giovanni Segantini. There are three distinct segments within the one-movement piece. One of the early Webern works discovered by musicologist Hans Moldenhauer after Webern’s death, String Quartet had its world premiere on May 26, 1962 during the First International Webern Festival in Seattle, Washington.

Just Time
For Wind Quintet
Martin Bresnick

Just Time’s title came from the idea of Just Intonation which is the ratios of small whole numbers that portray the association of pitches in the harmonic series. This piece deliberates about the priority of time over space, and is virtuosically written for the wind ensemble.

Concertino (1945)
For Flute, Strings and Percussion
Peter Mennin

This short piece, only eleven minutes long, consists of two movements. The first movement, written in a vocal-cantabile style, is slow and continuous, eliciting a mood of serenity. The second movement is a complete contrast of the first. It is a fast toccata-like movement which makes full use of the timpani and snare drum in combination with the flute and strings.

Performance materials are available on rental.
