Lyric for Strings was composed in 1946 and was originally the second movement of my first string quartet. After a brief introduction, the principal theme that permeates the entire work is introduced by the first violins. A static interlude is followed by successive imitations of the theme that lead to an intense climax. The final section of the work presents a somewhat more animated statement of the same thematic material. The coda recalls the quiet interlude that appeared earlier. - George Walker.

Comment about program note
This score was purchased to enable me to write program notes about this work for a forthcoming performance by the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia. Access to a reliable score of the work, and following the score when listening to the piece on YouTube, enabled me to write the requested narrative.
