Macmillan: String Quartet No 3 Hps 1616 Study Score
(Boosey & Hawkes Scores/Books). Composed in 2007, this 25-minute work was commissioned by Southbank Centre for its Associate Artists, the Takacs Quartet. A major addition to the contemporary string quartet repertory, the San Francisco Chronical has commented that the work "operates at the boundary between the physical and the ethereal, between sounds and silence."
Macmillan: Visions of a November Spring for String Quartet, Hps 1618 Study Score
(Boosey & Hawkes Scores/Books). Composed in 1988 and revised in 1991, this 28-minute work was commissioned by the University of Glasgow s McEwen Bequest. The composer stated in 1991, "My first string quartet, Visions of a November Spring, is the peculiar 'odd man out' in my work since it is the nearest thing to an autobiographical statement. The title is an indication that the piece is a celebration of (or comment on) a newly emerging fecundity of expression which seemed to absorb me in the latter part of 1987, and which extended itself through more recent pieces, Busqueda (1988), Into the Ferment (1988) and Tryst (1989). As well as marking the beginning of a particularly prolific time for me, it also marked a fusion of earlier influences and a departure in a style of writing which is both naturally and deliberately more direct and explicit."
Macmillan: Etwas Zuruckhaltend, Hps 1630 for String Quartet Study Score
(Boosey & Hawkes Scores/Books). Etwas zuruckhaltend was written in 1982 when the composer was a student at the University of Durham. The piece was forgotten until 2009, when MacMillan realised that much within its ideas seemed current and relevant to his recent work. The title comes from Wagner s indication for the final pages of Gotterdammerung, and the work reflects an ongoing interest in this composer which has been reflected at various points since in MacMillan's work. Allusions to motifs from The Ring are never far away. The work ends with a tentative and tense coda, with nods still being made in the direction of The Ring s final Immolation Scene.
Trombone Concerto Hps1632 Trombone and Orchestra Study Score
(Boosey & Hawkes Scores/Books). A major addition to the concertante trombone repertory, this single-movement work lasting 30 minutes was premiered in 2017 by Jorgenvan Rijen and the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, conducted by Ivan Fischer. Press reviews were ecstatic: "...this magnificent concerto enriches the repertoire...The trombone sang, sang, sang...then suddenly a spectacular mating dance of four trombones a la Stockhausen. At the very end van Rijen and MacMillan struck me down completely: between the serene harmonies which came to a moment of rest, the trombone once more entered with a heart-breaking eruption...the wonderful beauty of despair...It is a concerto for eternity, and trombone players could use one." - De Trouw.

Kats-Chernin: Moth Eaten Rag for Clarinet (B-Flat) and Piano
(Boosey & Hawkes Chamber Music). "When I came to Sydney from Russia in 1975 with my sister and parents, we took only a few belongings with us, including beautiful hand-embroidered bed linen. It was so valuable that we never used it. One day I wanted to take a look at these treasures but found that they had moth holes. To ease the pain of losing the family heirloom, I decided to write this piece," says Elena Kats-Chernin. The result was a ragtime (the English word "rag" also means "shred"), interspersed with pauses symbolising the holes. Staccato notes, especially in the clarinet part, represent the biting moths.

Winterberg: I. Streichquartett Symphony for String Quartet Study Score
(Boosey & Hawkes Scores/Books). 1936 was Hans Winterberg's most fruitful creative year before the catastrophe that befell Czechoslovakia with the annexation of the Sudeten territories in 1938 and the "rest of Czechoslovakia" in 1939 by Nazi Germany. Winterberg lived as a freelance composer in Prague, had found his own style after studying with Alexander von Zemlinsky, among others, and ventured into the great forms of the tradition for the first time: piano sonata, symphony and string quartet. Winterberg's First String Quartet, whose manuscript survived the turmoil of the war and was not premiered until 2024, "a masterpiece not only of Czech music but of the entire string quartet repertoire of the 20th century" (Michael Haas), is perhaps his most complex, most demanding work from the pre-war period. In terms of the interpretational challenges and the peculiarities of its stylistic approach, it lies at the interface between the quartets of Janacek and his pupil Pavel Haas and the quartet compositions of the protagonists of the Second Viennese School.
