[COPYRIGHT RETURNED TO COMPOSER]. Composed by Edward Cowie. This edition: Saddle stitching. Sheet music. String. Softcover. 76 pages. Duration 15'. Schott Music #ED13391. Published by Schott Music (HL.49018856).
ISBN 9790220133244. UPC: 884088675028. 9.0x12.0x0.204 inches.
Although this is technically Cowie's seventh string quartet, it replaces his earlier fourth quartet, which he came to feel no longer fit with his compositional voice. The quartet fluctuates between a slow, luminous sound and fast, agitated music. Unlike much of Cowie's work, this music is abstracted from his usual preoccupation with the natural world, turning instead to look at an inner landscape. The composer describes the emotional force behind his quartet: The year 2009 was a terrible year in which I lost three close friends to cancer and an elder brother to Alzheimer's disease. It was also a year in which my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer; something from which she has thankfully made a great recovery. At times like these, emotions are sorely tested and highlighted. Four people I loved have gone, so this music must remain as testament not to death, but to the magnificent fragility and loveliness of life. It closes with a gentle and almost vaporising 'benediction' a kind of 'amen' if you like.
