Description:
. . . a world of shimmering sounds and unusual moves. That world has a chaotic surface, yet there is an undeniable internal coherence and drama that engages the attention and the imagination. . . Mr Harvey's work, with its otherworldly textures, seduces the listener. James R Oestreich, The New York Times, 23 April 1991
String Quartet no 1 This one-movement quartet was generated entirely by the innocent unison melody which occurs near the beginning. Having written this melody I analysed it, (the first stage of departure from innocence) and used the background structure, a pattern of dominant sevenths mostly, to shape the piece as a whole. The melody grows in wisdom by acquiring ornaments, “radiances” of doubling, by having its segments severely developed (in passages where one instrument plays the attack and another the sustained part of a note) and by absorbing violently energetic emotional outbursts. The work was commissioned by and written for the Arditti Quartet. Jonathan Harvey
