Kronos Quartet performs "Marejada," the most recent addition to Fifty for the Future: The Kronos Learning Repertoire. Composed by Puerto Rican–born, Brooklyn-based composer Angélica Negrón in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the piece was specifically created to be played online, from separate locations via a video conferencing platform. Kronos describes “Marejada” as “a piece composed in this moment, and decidedly about and for this moment. We believe it is one of many creative and musical ways forward, out of our current isolation, and back into community.” 

You can learn to play this piece. FREE scores and parts, among other materials, are available online: 50ftf.kronosquartet.org

The Answers was written for the JACK quartet

The composition derives from rotation, orbit, and vantage point. In this piece, Cello is Mercury, Viola is Venus, Violin II is Earth, and Violin I is Mars. There are 16 points in a square that circumscribes the orbit of Mars.

Each point represents a harmonic ratio located in cartesian space. The rhythm is determined by the rotation of each planet at their relative positions over the course of a year on Mars, scanning the points, like a lightbeam sweeping across a square of stars, sonifying each.

What does this constellation mobile sound like?

From each vantage point, the order and timing of sonified stars change, which means the combined quartet of ratios in our tonnetz morphs fluidly, though maintaining a constant insistence of our pitch space, centered around the fundamental C2.
