Steve Reich - Double Sextet

"The piece is in three movements, fast, slow, fast. In the two outer fast movements the marimbas set the harmonic background which remains rather static compared to recent pieces of mine like Double Sextet (2007). The marimbas interlock in canon, also a procedure I have used in many other works. The vibes present the melodic material first solo and then in canon. However, in the central slow movement the texture changes into a thinner more transparent one with very spare use of notes, particularly in the marimbas. I was originally concerned this movement might just be ‘too thin’, but I think it ends up being the most striking, and certainly the least expected, of the piece.
Mallet Quartet is dedicated to the Amadinda Percussion Group on the occasion of their 25th anniversary and to Nexus for a lifetime of playing together with them." (Steve Reich)

AT73

Renowned for its passionate performances, both live and recorded, the Duke Quartet has established itself as one of Europe's most dynamic and exciting ensembles. The group's versatility and fearless approach to music-making has led them into an unequalled range of projects including pop, education, dance and their own compositions all of which have been highly acclaimed for its quality of musicianship, technique and diversity of repertoire.
The Duke Quartet's passion for the new and a desire to push back the boundaries is evident in their commitment to commissioning and performing new works from composers. Most recently the quartet has premiered works by Deirdre Gribben , Rolf Hind, Stephen McNeff, Joby Talbot and Philip Venables. This, together with the player's love and command of the traditional string quartet repertoire, has helped them to become one of the most sought-after string quartets. They have been giving recitals for over seventeen years becoming a vibrant part of the national chamber music scene, performing in the UK's top venues and festivals with such artists as Marc-Andre Hamelin, Alexander Baillie and Jessye Norman and broadcasting regularly on  Radio 3. Their international schedule has taken them to countries as far apart as Columbia, the Yemen, South Africa and Japan.
The Quartet's outstanding musicianship can by heard on their many CDs. The Dukes' debut recording, featuring works by Barber, Dvorak and Philip Glass, was selected at the 1995 Cannes Classical Music Awards as one of the world's top debut CDs of the year and their disc featuring Berg's Lyric Suite and Schoenberg's Verklarte Nacht received glowing reviews for its intense musicality and technical excellence. The 2002 recording of music by Kevin Volans, with whom they have had a close working relationship for many years, received a Gramophone Award nomination for best contemporary recording. The Dukes most recent release is Steve Reich's Different Trains and Marc Mellits String Quartet No 2 on Black Box.
Following The Duke's work on Morrissey's first solo album Viva Hate, the quartet has developed into one of the most in-demand string quartets in the pop industry. Their unique and rich timbre, coupled with intuitive arrangements from violist John Metcalfe, has flavoured music from many top bands including Blur, the Cranberries and The Corrs. They have worked many times with the Pretenders, collaborating on an acoustic greatest hits album, Isle of View, and touring the UK and the USA. In 2004, the quartet toured Australia with the Dixie Chicks.
The Duke Quartet has enjoyed a long association with the renowned Belgian dance company Rosas, with whom they have performed worldwide. In 2003 they toured Europe to celebrate Rosas' 20th anniversary year performing Beethoven's Grosse Fugue and Bartok's Fourth String Quartet. In 2006/07 the Dukes and Rosas took part in another European tour performing works by Bartok, Beethoven and Schoenberg in Austria, Belgium, France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and the UK.
Education and outreach work is an important part of the quartet's output and during the last ten years they have given over 400 workshops and concerts in schools, colleges, hospitals, prisons and universities. This ranges from simple demonstration and games with primary school children to detailed discussion of technique and composition with university students.
Recent engagements have included performances for Cheltenham and Soundwaves Festivals, Manchester's QuartetFest, BBC's John Cage Festival, Wigmore Hall London, Queen's Hall Edinburgh and The Gate Cardiff.
