Spektral Quartet Feinberg Doyle Armbrust Jacobs Freund Debussy 2021
". . . and Night was the Universe." for String Quartet Written for the Spektral Quartet Maeve Feinberg, Violin I Clara Lyon, Violin II Doyle Armbrust, Viola Russell Rolen, Cello Live recording of the Spektral Quartet recital at the 2021 IU Jacobs School of Music Composition Department 48 Hours project, following 25 minutes of rehearsal. Special thanks to the Spektral Quartet, Professor Aaron Travers, Professor David Dzubay, and Professor Don Freund for helping me compose this piece Special(er) thanks to the Jacobs School of Music and the anonymous donor for funding this awesome collaboration! ". . . and Night was the Universe." was written as a part of the 48 Hour Collaboration Event with the Spekral Quartet in November 2021 at the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University. The Spektral Quartet provided a prompt at noon on Friday, 11/5/21, and the finished pieces were then due at noon on Sunday, 11/7/21. The quartet then had around 4 hours to learn each composers' piece (around 7 or 8 whole pieces) and then premiere them later that Sunday evening. I have been a big fan of the Spektral Quartet for several years, so it has been such an amazing opportunity to get a chance to work with them. Their prompt for this event was: "What does the night mean to you?" The quartet also asked us composers to hide the first three notes of Debussy's "Clair de Lune" somewhere in the piece. With this prompt, I immediately thought of a nighttime journey, where one goes from stillness to danger before finally arriving at beauty and stillness again. I hope to capture the feeling of 'looking up' when the stars are out and the enveloping sense of expansiveness in the darkness. The title comes from a quote from Edgar Allan Poe's The Pit and the Pendulum, which follows a somewhat similar journey. The full quote is "Then silence, and stillness, and night were the universe." These words were all I could think about when looking at the stars and experiencing night. Secondly, I thought of what night means to the world around me as a musician and student. Nighttime gives people to courage to be strange in a way that they would not be comfortable with in the daytime. The night is a chance to explore things out of the ordinary, and I decided to channel that in my music. Extended techniques and microtones are severely out of my comfort zone as a composer, but I knew this collaboration with the Spektral Quartet would be a good space to experiment with different sounds.
