He has also served three times as Director of Melbourne Summer Music, an Australian Festival which commenced in 1986 under his direction.

The String Quintet by Marc Neikrug The String Quintet was composed in 1995 for the Tokyo String Quartet. It stems from an old interest of mine to explore what happens when a string quartet is enlarged by adding a viola. This combination has been historically seldom used, but to great effect, witness Mozarf s incredible set of quintets. I found that the textures changed dramatically from quartet writing. This is in part due to a filling out of the spacing, but also to the need for more solistic writing as supposed to ensemble. These considerations became the focus of the piece. The opening is a ritornello which appears at various times in the work's three movements and serves as an anchor for the departures of other episodes. This opening ritornello presents the genesis of the piece, a single tone which expands in both directions. This expansion is an integral facet of Chicago Chicago West Oak Lawn Orland the entire work and is employed not only in the intervals but also in the entire texture. 312-881-2200 312-881-2150 708-499-7600 708-403-6400 The first movement is composed of alternating passages of two developing textures. One is a rhapsodic, cadenza-like texture consisting of solistic passages for the first violin, the cello and Malteson Richton Park Homewood Lockport different increasing combinations of the instruments. The other is a mechanical, rhythmically 708-747-0200 708-747-5286 708-957-2288 708-838-5900 driving tutti texture. After both textures reach their apex, the ritornello closes the movement. The second movement is structured to highlight a particular passage of great lyrical depth and Braidwood Blue Island Wilmington Will-Cook intensity. The entire movement is set up to arrive at placing this passage to its best advantage, both 815-458-2136 708-389-8855 815-476-2141 708-403-6451 in the structure and in ifs emotional context. The third movement opens with the ritornello in a different manifestation. This is followed by an alternating set of episodes related to the first movement. This time they are more akin to jazz. Tutti textures are followed by solos which again accumulate to the climax. A final ritornello closes the piece in ifs anchor position, albeit with a very different sense of the journey undertaken.
