Danish composer Vagn Holmboe completed 20 string quartets, each a deeply personal statement. I applaud the Nightingale String Quartet for undertaking a traversal of these works.
Holmboe was a 20th Century composer, but he didn’t necessarily follow its trends. Holmboe wrote in a mostly neo-classical style. In his mature period (which he began writing quartets), Holmboe used a technique of Jean Sibelius.
He would present motifs and thematic fragments that would, over the course of the movement (or work), grow and transform, providing an organic foundation for the music.
String Quartet No. 1, Op. 46 was published in 1949 but it wasn’t Holmboe’s first. He had written ten quartets before this one. The Op. 46 quartet marked a turning point in his style. The first violin opens the quartet, laying out all the material that will be used throughout the 27-minute work.
