Op. 22 String Quartet No. 1 for violin I, violin II, viola & violoncello. Composer: Jeroen van Luiken-Bakker. Duration: approx. 11 min. String Quartet No.1 is the result of a hyper focus phase Jeroen had back in April of 2022 in which he composed the general outline of the entire work in a matter of days. String Quartet No. 1 separates itself from the main body of works by the composer up till this point, as it is composed in a far more ‘happier’ mood than is usual for him and it is a far more focused and structured work than most of his other works. To the composer, the music represents a garden full of flowers about to burst into blossom, with plenty of leisure about and fluttering birds. 'String Quartet No. 1' emerged from a period of intense hyperfocus in April 2022, during which Jeroen composed the general outline of the entire work within a matter of days. The quartet stands apart from much of the composer’s earlier output through its brighter atmosphere and more focused, structured approach. To the composer, the music evokes a garden on the verge of blossoming, filled with leisure, fluttering birds, and the promise of spring. 01. Introduction 02. Outline of the String Quartet 03.
