By Jubal's Lyre Music. By Hans Leo Hassler. Arranged by Martin Dicke. 21st Century,Christian,Lent,Religious,Sacred. 30 pages. Jubal's Lyre Music Publishers #6826353. Published by Jubal's Lyre Music Publishers (A0.918937).This partita for String Quartet is based on the tune HERZLICH TUT MICH VERLANGEN by Renaissance composer Hans Leo Hassler (1564-1612), which is often sung to the Lenten hymn "O Sacred Head, Now Wounded." Chorale settings frame this six-movement work while the inner movements employ doleful ostinatos, a quasi-canon, and a bicinium that turns into a trio at the cadences. With anguished and unconventional harmonies, the work begins fortissimo on a second inversion of an F major seventh chord and ends pianissimo eight minutes later on an A major chord. Originally composed for organ, this partita works well for strings and in the context of worship is particularly suited for Lent, Holy Week, or communion services. A downloadable performance audio mp3 file is available as is a compatible edition for Woodwind Quintet. An edition for String Ensemble is also available which includes an additional part for Double Bass. For more music and information, visit www.jubalslyre.com/music.
