Description:
String Quartet No. 9 is the fourth that Wernick has written for the Juilliard Quartet. A commission by the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society; Wernick's ninth string quartet was premiered by the Juilliard in November; 2015 and subsequently taken on tour. 'The first movement's affect (marked 'Assertive; Aggressive') [compares] to Rockport's forbidding coastline in the eyes of the first. settlers. This was an apt analogy since the work's musical language is; in today's vernacular; 'gnarly.' [The second movement]...a 'never-ending throb of repeated notes'...the effect of steadily diminishing life-force; though with a 'final burst of hope from the solo cello.' Again; the composer made intriguing use of many of the different ways stringed instruments can produce sound.' Geoffrey Wieting; The Boston Musical Intelligencer
