String Quartet No. 9 (2007) by Gloria Coates is a 26-minute work in two movements:

  • I. Mirrors
  • II. The Cry

The first movement is based melodically on Symphony No. 5 (1985), but the material used is a sum of Gloria Coates' musical experiments and innovations from 1971 to 2007. The form is a mirror canon with its apex at the center of a glissando canon which then returns backwards to the beginning in the closed form. The second movement is an open form with new melodic fragments from Symphony No. 5. It is a short movement that suggests heralding of a new world of sound.

Commissioned by Klang.Körper, Festival for Contemporary Music, GEDOK and Deutschlandfunk Radio, String Quartet No. 9 was first performed on June 13, 2008, in Cologne, Germany, by the Kreutzer Quartet.

The score and parts (EP 14597) are available for sale as part of the Peters Contemporary Chamber Series. This product is Printed on Demand and may take several weeks to fulfill. Please order from your favorite retailer.
