NOSPR in Chamber Mode / Feeria String Quartet - NOSPR
NOSPR in Chamber Mode / Feeria String Quartet
Quartet music is all but out of date. The oldest piece the Feeria String Quartet will present today is the Meditation on a chorale about St Wenceslas I, patron saint of Czechia – the first part of a triptych written during World War I, a declaration of faith made by one faced with a tragedy of the nation. Contemporary composers from the Baltic States are equally willing to reach deep into their nations’ past – the Estonian Arvo Pärt in his Summa (1977/1992), initially written for a choir, and the Latvian Pēteris Vasks in his String Quartet No. 4 from 1999, elegiac and full of lyricism. Piazzolla, in his six-movement suite with Argentinian tango in the background, also referred to a past filtered through a present. The father of the ‘nuevo tango’ composed the piece in 1956. It seems that the string quartet has not only a fascinating past to look back on, but also an exciting future to look forward to.
