Overture to Prince Igor (1890)

Army surgeon, chemistry professor and composer Alexander Borodin (1833 1887) was the son of a Russian noble and a serf. Although his compositions are few, he is known as one of The Mighty Five, a circle of Russian composers who wanted to establish a nationalist school of music.

Prince Igor tells the story of the 12thBorodin century campaign of the Russian Prince Igor against the nomadic Asian tribe of the Polovtsi. The melancholy opening reflects Igor’s grief at being taken prisoner. This is followed by the brass fanfares of the Polovtsi army, a brisk Russian dance, a seductive clarinet melody, and a lyrical horn solo. The overture ends with Igor’s triumphant return home. The opera is known for its Polovetsian Dances which depict the Polevtsian slaves entertaining Igor during his imprisonment.

Concerto for String Quartet and Orchestra (1845) Violinist and composer Louis Spohr (1784 - 1859) was a contemporary of Beethoven, and many people of his time liked his music equally well or better. As a conductor, he was one of the first to use a baton. Spohr is also credited with inventing the violin chin rest. He wrote a number Spohr of works for violin and harp to perform together with his wife, harpist Dorette Scheidler.

Spohr composed 36 pieces for string quartet (two violins, a viola, and a cello) as well as four pieces for double string quartet using eight players. He is the only composer of his time to write a concerto for string quartet and orchestra, still an unusual combination. Spohr uses the quartet as the solo instrument in this concerto.

Ancient Airs and Dances Suite No. 2 (1924)

Ottorino Respighi is one of the leading Italian composers of the twentieth century. In his youth he studied piano, composition, and violin. In 1900 he obtained a position as violist with the St. Petersburg Opera Orchestra, and subsequently studied composition and orchestration with Russian composer Rimsky-Korsakov.

Ancient Airs is an incredible work that personifies the brilliant orchestration for i h ig sp Re which Respighi is so famous. It is one of three orchestral suites based on lute dances of the early 1600s, with each movement based on a different dance. Balletto con gagliarda, saltarello e canario is an energetic Italian Renaissance dance characterized by leaps, jumps, and skips.

Danza Rustica is a rustic dance. Campanae Parisienses-Aria, or Bells of Paris, is attributed to the brilliant physicist and mathematician Marin Mersenne, the father of acoustics. Bergamasca is a lusty 16th-century dance depicting the reputedly awkward manners of the inhabitants of Bergamo, in northern Italy, where the dance is said to have originated.

PROGRAM NOTES

Quartet g in r t S Kairos Kairos, loosely translated as the right time, is comprised of violinists Carrie Rehkopf and Denise Dillenbeck, violist Tim Betts, and cellist John Michel.

The Kairos String Quartet is recognized as one of the premier chamber ensembles in the Pacific Northwest. The quartet holds an endowed residency at Central Washington University—where all four members also teach—affording the group a degree of stability that is unusual in the chamber music world. In addition to traditional concert performances, Kairos is committed to educational outreach and to performing in unlikely venues in which they seek to break down the barriers between audience and performers.

Kairos provides a 10-day, intensive summer institute, named the Kairos Lyceum, for advanced high school and college-aged string players from around the Pacific Northwest.

During the course, Kairos Quartet members mentor a number of ensembles as they take up rewarding, yet challenging, masterworks of the string quartet repertoire.
