Program NotesThe first movement of my String Quartet No. 5 uses material taken from the work of mine which immediately preceded it, Spirituals, a composition which is based on Negro spirituals and which exists in two versions, one for string orchestra and one for clarinet and string quartet. Because the first movement of this string quartet is twice removed from the original spirituals, they are not recognizable in it, with one exception "Go Down, Moses" in measures 156-208. Its form is very free--hence its title, "Fantasy"-- and it can be thought of as a sort of quodlibet. The second movement, by contrast, is a very strict "Theme and Variations".
