The Stones of the Arch
for string quartet and vocal ensemble (SATB) with optional solo improviser
text by George Bruce
Note on solo improviser - There is an optional part for a solo improviser working ideally with simple live electronics. For the first performance this was Philip Jeck, who works with vinyl records on old gramophone turntables. The improvisation should start before the score proper and overlap the opening section up to the first vocal entry. Thereafter he is free to play at any time but should certainly be more prominent in the interlude between the two poems, and at the end, which can be prolonged by holding the last string chord indefinitely while the improvisation continues.

Description
Dedicated to Steve Reich and premiered during the Barbican Centre’s festivities for his 70th Birthday, The Stones of the Arch avoids any direct reference to Reich or his work. The text is a George Bruce poem, which in itself is a ‘reconsideration’ of a poem he wrote fifty years earlier called A Gateway to the Sea. Hypnotic in its use of vocals and string quartet, the texture can be elaborated with the use of simple live improvised electronics.
