"Taquito militar" by M.Mores /J.Cardoso [studio version]

Grieg, Piano concerto in A minor Op. 16
Orchester der Wiener Festspiele - Direction Jean Marie Auberson

Mendelssohn, Piano concerto in G minor Op. 25
Wienna Oper Orchestra - Direction Hans Swarowsky

2 Romanze - Larghetto (Edvard Grieg, Piano concerto in A minor, Op.16)

Though the origin is unknown, the melody used is very well known in Great Britain since at least 1740. The original first line was: “God save great George the King.”  The September 1745 performance which led to its greater popularity held the title: “God Save the King.”  

As many know, this became an unofficial American anthem in 1831, with the lyricist probably unaware that the melody he was using was the British national anthem. No references to a king in this new version were included. The United States is a republic.

Another composer who wrote earlier variations on “America” was Charles Ives. Charlie was 17 years old at the time and in 1891, wrote a variation for organ. While a serious exercise, his father didn't allow him to perform it often, as “it made the boys laugh out loud” in church. (Charlie’s music was ahead of its time, to say the least!)

Now a 2025 variation on “America" emerges for string quartet. Entitled "Where, America?" it describes an unfolding period which our nation has not experienced in its past. It is confusing, disorienting, and to the composer, disappointing. 

It depicts a once strong America, unbalanced.  Where did our inclusiveness, compassion and civility go? Where is the country so many worked hard to establish and nourish for the past 250 years? Where will its principles and values move in the future? The music reflects the composer's struggle to understand, while seeking answers to these questions. 

Where, America?

"I couldn't tell you who I am influenced by, it is probably everyone from Tchaikovsky to Radiohead, so I'm not really sure if these pieces fall under the genre of neo-classical, new classical, avant-garde, new wave, contemporary classical or one of the numerous other genres out there, but I do know that they come directly from my heart and soul." -Keith Hide.
