The work was completed on February 2nd 1970 and is the first piece to be retained
by the composer after he had destroyed all his earlier compositions.
The parts are available in a separate download.
The following is taken from the catalogue of the composer's works:-
The photocopy of the MS is marked String Quartet No. 1, but is not regarded by the composer as part of his
mature string quartet writing. The MS itself was lost in a fire at the home of Col. Robert Tong, formerly
Registrar of Queen Mary College, University of London. A typesetting was made in November 2000 as the
photocopy had faded so badly.
The composer's sketch books suggest that the movements were written in the order
3,2,4,1.
1. Allegro
2. Scherzo (Allegro energico)
Trio I - tempo di menuetto Trio II - no tempo indicated - [andante]
3. Andante con moto
4. Allegro ma non troppo
Composer's note:-
As the above suggests, I originally had no intention of publishing this early piece.
The recording by the Lochrian String Quartet of the six numbered
quartets, however , together with sleeve notes admitting the existence of
this work, prompted me into revising my opinion and allowing its
publication, so that anyone wishing to study this first effort may do so.
It shows certain traits that I was to develop in the six quartets and others
that I was to discard, and therefore is of musicological interest. It also
has a few good, albeit imitative, tunes!
Duration: Approx. 25 mins.
COLIN BAYLISS was born in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire in 1948. His life-long
love of music led him to compose from an early age and he now has a catalogue of
over a hundred works including two operas, four symphonies, six string quartets
and many other pieces for most instrumental and chamber groupings, over
seventy of them published.
He is a member of the British Academy of Composers and Songwriters, the North
West Composers' Association and the Performing Rights Society.
As well as writing music himself, he has also compiled annotated catalogues of the
works of Anthony Hedges and Sir Peter Maxwell Davies.
CDs of his piano music played by David Martin and complete organ music played
by Ronald Frost are available on the New Century Classics label.
