Composed by Thomas Oboe Lee. 20th Century,Chamber,Classical,Contemporary,Romantic Period. 37 pages. Thomas Oboe Lee #809135. Published by Thomas Oboe Lee (A0.1211524).In 2021 I dedicated SQ15 to Dmitri Shostakovich because ... he wrote fifteen string quartets.
Then I dedicated SQ17 to Heitor Villa-Lobos because he wrote seventeen. What happened to SQ16? We all know that Beethoven wrote sixteen string quartets. But, I am not a fan of his work in general, and I did not find anything inspiring among his string quartets. So, instead I dedicated "SQ16 ... Música Callada" (2022) to Federico Mompou. His music I love!
In my search for a string quartet inspiration I discovered that Darius Milhaud wrote eighteen string quartets. I knew he spent a few years in Brazil as a diplomat, and I have always admired the Brazilian influences in his own music, like the twelve-movement work for solo piano, "Saudades do Brasil.”
So it became obvious that SQ18 is dedicated in memoriam to Darius Milhaud.
SQ18 ... Hommage à Darius Milhaud (2023) is in six movements.
I. Très lent ... Vif, très rythmé TRIO
II. Lent
III. Très animé TRIO
IV. Funèbre
V. Très vif
VI. Très lent TRIO.
