FACULTY OF LAW

Lucian Moraru, string quartet &percussion

SonArt Edition 2019

by Helen Tuckey

Romanian violist and arranger Lucian Moraru studied in Bucharest, then the Netherlands and Great Britain. He has an extremely diverse musical skill set, working as a violist in orchestras, chamber groups and as a soloist and as a studio producer, as well as substantial experience as an arranger for a diversity of musical instruments and genres.

Faculty of Law is his own 7-minute single movement work for string quartet and percussion. It was composed in 2019 for the 160th anniversary of the founding of the law school in Bucharest.

The work opens with great urgency and energy, underpinned by appealing sophisticated jazzy rhythms. In true legalese manner, the instruments then become almost verbal and rhetorical at times, with menacing relentless percussion continuing the forward drive. The texture thins and the music gradually melts into harmonics with various pianissimo percussive ostinato patterns in the viola. A section in B minor marked Moderato amabile follows in completely contrasting style in a folky, renaissance 6/8 time, with tambourine and tom tom, after which a virtuosic Allegro section crashes in, with much tension and great use of a variety of string and percussion textures. This is interrupted by a brief excursion into the traditional student drinking song Gaudeamus Igitur, quoted more at length by Brahms in an eerily parallel work, the Academic Festival Overture. The final Coda mirrors the opening, ending with impressive wit and energy.

This is a truly wonderful virtuosic concert piece. Do watch the online performance, where the arranger is also the violist in the quartet.

This is a fascinating work for string quartet and percussion. The song was commissioned to be performed at the event that celebrated in 2019, 160 years since the founding of the Faculty of Law in Bucharest (Romania). Musical themes and accompaniment combine both classical and jazz genres. It is a 7-minute work composed in a single movement that contains lively contrasting sections, energetic, with interesting rhythms, with some mysterious passages in the flageolet and of course with a small insert from Gaudeamus igitur. The piece exploits all four instruments in equal conditions through which the instrumentalists can fully show their technical skills, being a pleasure for the members of the string quartets who like to show their virtuosity. The piece can be interpreted in two variants: only with the string quartet formula without percussion or string quartet together with percussion (drum set / single percussionist). This score is a smart choice for string quartets that want to achieve the acclaim from the audience.

Das ist eine faszinierende Arbeit für Streichquartette und Schlaginstrumente. Dieses Lied wurde in Auftrag gegeben, um im Jahre 2019 beim 160-jährigen Jubiläum der Fakultät für Rechtswissenschaften in Bukarest (Rumänien) präsentiert zu werden. Die musikalischen Themen und Begleitungen kombinieren die Genres Klassik und Jazz. Es ist ein 7-minütiges Werk, das in einem einzigen Satz komponiert wurde und lebend kontrastierende Abschnitte beinhaltet, energetisch mit interessanten Rhythmen, mit einigen geheimnisvollen Passagen des Flageoletts und natürlich mit einem kleinen Einsatz von Gaudeamus igitur. Das Stück nutzt alle vier Instrumente in gleicher Weise, damit die Instrumentalisten ihre gesamten technischen Fähigkeiten zeigen können, zum Vergnügen der Mitglieder des Streichquartetts, die es mögen ihre Virtuosität zu präsentieren. Das Stück kann in zwei unterschiedlichen Varianten interpretiert werden: Einmal für das Streichquartett ohne Schlaginstrumente und einmal gemeinsam mit ihnen (Schlagzeuge / einzelnes Schlagzeug). Dieses Werk ist eine clevere Wahl für das Streichquartett, um die Anerkennung des Publikums zu erhalten.

C'est une œuvre fascinante pour quatuor à cordes et percussions. L’œuvre a été commandé pour être présenté lors de l'événement qui a célébré en 2019, 160 ans depuis la fondation de la Faculté de droit à Bucarest (Roumanie). Les thèmes musicaux et l'accompagnement combinent les genres classiques et jazz. Il est un travail à 7 minutes composée en un seul mouvement qui contient des sections contrastées vives, énergiques, avec des rythmes intéressants, avec quelques passages mystérieux dans le flageolet et, bien sûr, avec un petit insert de Gaudeamus igitur. L'œuvre exploite les quatre instruments dans des conditions égales à travers lesquelles les instrumentistes peuvent pleinement montrer leurs compétences techniques, ce qui est un plaisir pour les membres des quatuors à cordes qui aiment montrer leur virtuosité. L'œuvre peut être interprétée en deux variantes: uniquement avec la formule du quatuor à cordes sans percussion ou du quatuor à cordes avec percussions (batterie / percussionniste unique). Cette partition est le choix judicieux pour les quatuors à cordes qui veulent réussir auprès du public.

Este es un trabajo fascinante para cuarteto de cuerda y percusión. La obra fue encargada para ser realizada en el evento que celebró en 2019, 160 años desde la fundación de la Facultad de Derecho en Bucarest (Rumanía). Los temas musicales y el acompañamiento combinan géneros clásicos y de jazz. Se trata de una obra de 7 minutos compuesta en un solo movimiento que contiene tramos vivos contrastantes, enérgicos, con ritmos interesantes, con algunos pasajes misteriosos en el flageolet y por supuesto con un pequeño inserto de Gaudeamus igitur.

Esta partitura es una opción inteligente para los cuartetos de cuerda que desean lograr el reconocimiento de la audiencia.

Questo è un lavoro affascinante per quartetto d'archi e percussioni. Il brano e stato richiesto per l'evento celebrato nel 2019 , cioè 160 anni dalla creazione della Facoltà di Giurisprudenza di Bucarest (Romania). I temi musicali e l'accompagnamento mettono insieme sia la musica classica che quella jazz. È un brano di 7 minuti ideato in un unico movimento che ingloba sezioni contrastanti, vivaci, energiche con ritmi interessanti ,con qualche passaggio di armonici e con un piccolo inserto dal Gaudeamus igitur. Il brano da vita a ogni strumento del quartetto in maniera uguale, cosi i singoli musicisti possano mostrare le loro potenzialità tecniche, essendo un piacere dimostrare il loro virtuosismo. Il brano può essere eseguito in due modi diversi:solo quartetto d'archi senza percussioni, oppure con percussioni (batteria/unico percussionista). Questo brano è la scelta intelligente per quartetti d'archi che desiderano avere successo davanti al pubblico.

这是为弦乐四重奏和打击乐器创作的一部迷人的音乐作品。借罗马尼亚首都布加勒斯特市法律学院2019年庆祝建院160周年之际,这部音乐作品特定创作的,同时在学院的舞台上在庆祝活动中首次演奏的。音乐作品的主题和伴奏和谐结合古典音乐和爵士乐的风格。这部音乐作品长为7分钟,是由单一音乐动作而创作的,包含着活泼要素,有趣的节奏,鞭毛虫的神秘音乐段落和大学生欢乐颂各种的小型插入。音乐作品平等地突出每个乐器的特质同时每位演奏家的才华。这部音乐作品从两个方式可以演奏的,第一,弦乐四重奏团队单独演奏;第二,弦乐四重奏和打击乐器联合演奏(一套鼓/一名打击乐手)。这部乐曲可以作为希望获得观众高度评价的明智选择。

Aceasta este o lucrare fascinantă pentru cvartet de coarde și percuție. Piesa a fost comandată pentru a fi interpretată la evenimentul care a celebrat  în anul 2019, 160 de ani de la înființarea Facultății de Drept din București (România). Temele muzicale și acompaniamentul combină deopotrivă genurile de muzică clasică și jazz.  Este o lucrare de 7 minute compusă intr-o singură mișcare care conține secțiuni contrastante vioi, energice, cu ritmuri interesante, cu câteva pasaje misterioase în flageolet și, bineînțeles cu un mic insert din Gaudeamus igitur.

Această partitură este  alegerea inteligentă pentru cvartetele de coarde care își doresc să aibă succes la public.

 これは弦楽四重奏とパーカッションのための魅力的な作品です。この曲は2019年にブカレスト(ルーマニア)において、法学部創立160周年を祝う行事にて演奏するために委嘱されたものです。音楽の主題と伴奏はクラシックとジャズのジャンルが合体したものです。

一楽章だけの7分の作品で、生き生きとした対比的なセクションを含み、エネルギーに満ち、面白いリズムを伴い、フラジオレットでの神秘的なパッセージも伴っており、それゆえ、もちろんどんちゃん騒ぎの要素も多少挟み込まれています。弦楽奏者の四人は対等に扱われており各奏者がその技量を十分に見せられるように工夫しています。よって、名人芸を披露したい奏者たちにとって楽しみな一曲です。この曲は二つのスタイルでの演奏が可能です。パーカッションなしの弦楽四重奏だけでの演奏、ないしは弦楽四重奏とパーカッション(ドラムセット/一人のパーカショニスト)と一緒での演奏。聴衆の喝采を求める弦楽四重奏者にとってこの曲は賢明な選択となりましょう。
