I wrote the penultimate movement first. It is a personal reflection on William Byrds setting of the fifth century hymn 'Christe, qui lux es et dies'. That ancient melody is a prayer for Light within the darkness of the night. The falling and rising contours within it became integral to my work on the quartet as a whole, as did the mental image of the setting and rising of the sun.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eString Quartet No.1 'Aloysius' was co-commissioned by Alois Lageder and Aldeburgh Festival, and is dedicated to the Lageder family.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Schott","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53484583420222,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/themusiciansclub.net\/products\/string-quartet-no-1-aloysius-score-and-parts","provider":"The Musicians Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
