DEREK BERMEL Intonations for String Quartet
“Intonations” is my first multi-movement quartet, inspired in part by the novel “The Invisible Man” by Ralph Ellison. Each movement explores a distinct quality of the human voice, from the breath of harmonica blues to a gospel singer ’s melodic thread to vocal cadences in hip-hop. It has been a great joy to collaborate with the JACK Quartet for several years, both as performer and composer. I’m grateful to Clement So at the 92nd Street Y and to Ellen Highstein at the Tanglewood Music Center for helping bring this new composition to life. Derek Bermel
Duration: 19 minutes
“Intonations” was commissioned by the 92nd Street Y for premiere performance on May 23, 2016 as part of the New York Philharmonic Biennial. “Harmonica” was workshopped and performed previously in June 2015 at the Tanglewood Music Center.
NOTES TO THE PERFORMERS Within a slurred glissando, the second pitch, notated in parentheses, is a “target” note that is not articulated:
A slight diminuendo on each such slurred glissando is achieved by lifting the bow off the string just before the ‘target’ note is reached. During particularly long glissandi, time may be marked via headless stems:
During the cadenza in the second movement, players enter in the following order: Violin I, Violin II, Viola, after which they play independently, following indications in their individual parts. Cello is tacet until end of cadenza, entering upon Violin I cue. When trills are indicated on double-stops, the trill only applies to the top note of the pair.
OTHER INDICATIONS ¼ tone sharp ¾ tone sharp ¼ tone flat ¾ tone flat +
left-hand pizzicato scratch (hard bow pressure) fall-off scoop
OTHER TECHNIQUES (also explained in score/parts) “Windshield-wiper”: stopped glissando, bow vertically on fingerboard
Bow normally (horizontally), strings muted near bow on fingerboard:
Strum like a guitar, muting strings:
