"La cathédrale engloutie" (The Sunken Cathedral) for solo piano, from Préludes / Book 1, L.117: No. 10 by Claude Debussy, performed live on piano by Marnie Laird for Brooklyn Classical. Listen on SPOTIFY: https://spoti.fi/3NgCDie

Hello everyone! I've always loved this piece and somehow I went all these years never learning it. I'm so glad I finally did! First things first, I have a question for my fellow musicians and music nerds: The ending...does anyone else hear "Somewhere" from Westside Story?! I'm convinced Bernstein must have been quoting Debussy in that song. Let me know in the comments if you agree!
Upon studying the score, I found out there are several sections where the tempo Debussy intended is debated among pianists - he seems to have forgotten to indicate where the tempo should be twice as fast as before. (Debussy recorded the piece himself and his performance indicates that's what he wanted.) So this is what I did. (Also, if Hélène Grimaud does it, it's good enough for me!)
This prelude is a perfect example of Debussy's impressionist style in that it is a musical depiction of an image. La Cathédrale Engloutie, or The Sunken Cathedral, is based on an ancient Breton myth in which a cathedral, submerged underwater off the coast of the Island of Ys, rises up from the sea on clear mornings when the water is transparent. Sounds can be heard of priests chanting, bells chiming, and the organ playing from across the sea. The piece begins with the cathedral underwater, and as the music progresses, Debussy gently brings the cathedral out of the water using rolling wave-like patterns, and finally we hear the grand sound of the organ. Then the cathedral sinks back down into the water and we hear the organ again, but this time it's underwater.
Thanks for watching! The recording should be up on Spotify and everywhere else very soon.

DOVER BIO:
“…the Dover Quartet players have it in them to become the next Guarneri String Quartet – they’re that good.” – The Chicago Tribune
Hailed as “the next Guarneri Quartet” (Chicago Tribune) and “the young American string quartet of the moment,” (New Yorker), the Dover Quartet catapulted to international stardom in 2013, following a stunning sweep of all prizes at the Banff Competition and has since become one of the most in-demand ensembles in the world. In addition to its faculty role as the inaugural Penelope P. Watkins Ensemble in Residence at the Curtis Institute of Music, the Dover Quartet holds residencies with the Kennedy Center, Bienen School of Music at Northwestern University, Artosphere, and the Amelia Island Chamber Music Festival. Among the group’s honors are the Avery Fisher Career Grant, Chamber Music America’s Cleveland Quartet Award, and Lincoln Center’s Hunt Family Award. The Dover Quartet has won grand and first prizes at the Fischoff Chamber Music Competition and fourth prize at the Wigmore Hall International String Quartet Competition.
In the 2020–21 season, the Dover Quartet debuts with Berkeley’s Cal Performances and embarks on its first-ever tour of Latin America, both of which will be conducted using virtual technology. Tour performances include collaborations with the Escher Quartet and harpist Bridget Kibbey. The quartet’s first volume of the complete Beethoven string quartet cycle, which focuses on the composer’s Op. 18 quartets, was released by Cedille Records in September 2020.
Among its many notable performances in 2019–20, the Dover Quartet made its Zankel Hall debut in collaboration with Emanuel Ax and returned to London’s Wigmore Hall. Other recent collaborators include Inon Barnaton, Ray Chen, Edgar Meyer, Anthony McGill, the late Peter Serkin, and Roomful of Teeth. Equally comfortable with repertoire from a range of eras, the quartet has worked with some of the world’s foremost living composers, including Caroline Shaw and Mason Bates.
Cedille Records released the Dover Quartet’s Voices of Defiance: 1943, 1944, 1945 in October 2017; and an all-Mozart debut recording in the 2016–17 season, featuring the late Michael Tree, violist of the Guarneri Quartet. Voices of Defiance, which explores works written during World War II by Viktor Ullman, Dmitri Shostakovich, and Simon Laks, was lauded upon its release as “undoubtedly one of the most compelling discs released this year” (Wall Street Journal).
The Dover Quartet draws from the lineage of the distinguished Guarneri, Cleveland, and Vermeer quartets. Its members studied at the Curtis Institute of Music and Rice University’s Shepherd School of Music, where they were mentored extensively by Shmuel Ashkenasi, James Dunham, Norman Fischer, Kenneth Goldsmith, Joseph Silverstein, Arnold Steinhardt, Michael Tree, and Peter Wiley. It was at Curtis that the Dover Quartet formed, and its name pays tribute to Dover Beach by fellow Curtis alumnus Samuel Barber.
The Dover Quartet is the Penelope P. Watkins Ensemble in Residence at Curtis. Their faculty residency integrates teaching and mentorship, a robust international performance career, and a cutting-edge digital presence. With this innovative residency, Curtis reinvigorates its tradition of maintaining a top professional string quartet on its faculty, while providing resources for the ensemble to experiment with new technologies and engage audiences through digital means. Working closely with students in the Nina von Maltzahn String Quartet Program, the resident ensemble will recruit the most promising young string quartets and foster their development in order to nurture a new generation of leading professional chamber ensembles.

"Nine Deep", written by Brooklyn Classical's Patrick Laird and performed live by Patrick and the Dover Quartet.
Hey all! Patrick here. I wrote this piece years ago for my band Break of Reality, and since we had the amazing Dover Quartet already in the studio, we figured we'd play through it and share with you. I read somewhere that there are nine stages of emotions one can go through following a traumatic event or loss, and I wrote this piece to explore those different stages through music. Though initially written for six cellos (it's on Break of Reality's album "TEN"), it was an easy transition to move the parts to this new instrumentation. Anyway, I hope you enjoy something a little different than our usual. Definitely also check out the whole classical album "Encores" that we produced for the Dover Quartet. These guys are incredible and they sound so good. Listen on Spotify here: https://spoti.fi/2XMWdhe

Voices of Defiance, which explores works written during World War II by Viktor Ullman, Dmitri Shostakovich, and Simon Laks, was lauded upon its release as “undoubtedly one of the most compelling discs released this year” (Wall Street Journal).
The Dover Quartet draws from the lineage of the distinguished Guarneri, Cleveland, and Vermeer quartets. Its members studied at the Curtis Institute of Music and Rice University’s Shepherd School of Music, where they were mentored extensively by Shmuel Ashkenasi, James Dunham, Norman Fischer, Kenneth Goldsmith, Joseph Silverstein, Arnold Steinhardt, Michael Tree, and Peter Wiley. It was at Curtis that the Dover Quartet formed, and its name pays tribute to Dover Beach by fellow Curtis alumnus Samuel Barber.
The Dover Quartet is the Penelope P. Watkins Ensemble in Residence at Curtis. Their faculty residency integrates teaching and mentorship, a robust international performance career, and a cutting-edge digital presence. With this innovative residency, Curtis reinvigorates its tradition of maintaining a top professional string quartet on its faculty, while providing resources for the ensemble to experiment with new technologies and engage audiences through digital means.

Dover Quartet Bio:
The phenomenal Dover Quartet catapulted to international stardom following a stunning sweep of the 2013 Banff Competition. Recently named the Cleveland Quartet Award winner, and awarded the coveted Avery Fisher Career Grant, the Dover has become one of the most in-demand ensembles in the world. The Quartet’s rise from up-and-coming young ensemble to occupying a spot at the top of their field has been “practically meteoric” (Strings). With its burnished warmth, incisive rhythms, and natural phrasing, the Quartet’s distinctive sound has helped confirm its status as “the young American string quartet of the moment” (New Yorker). The Quartet serves as the quartet-in-residence for the Bienen School of Music at Northwestern University.
In 2017-18 the Dover Quartet performs more than a hundred concerts around North America and Europe. The Quartet opened the season with performances for Texas Performing Arts, Chamber Music Houston, and Performance Santa Fe before appearing for the Kennedy Center, Philadelphia Chamber Music Society, Library of Congress, Detroit Chamber Music Society, the La Jolla Music Society, and throughout North America and Europe. The Quartet performed together with the superstar violinist Janine Jansen and pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet in Carnegie Hall’s Stern Auditorium, and will also continue multi-year residencies for the Walton Arts Center’s Artosphere, Peoples’ Symphony, and the Amelia Island Chamber Music Festival.
Cedille Records released the Quartet’s sophomore album, entitled Voices of Defiance: 1943, 1944, 1945 in October 2017. The recording takes listeners on a powerful journey through works written during World War II by Viktor Ullmann, Dimitri Shostakovich, and Simon Laks. The 2016-17 season saw the release of its all-Mozart debut recording on the Cedille label, a nod to the 1965 debut album of the Guarneri Quartet, whose founding violist, the late Michael Tree, joined the Dover Quartet on the recording.
In addition, the group undertook three complete Beethoven quartet cycles, including the University at Buffalo’s famous “Slee Cycle,” which has presented annual Beethoven quartet cycles since 1955 and has featured the likes of the Budapest, Guarneri, and Cleveland Quartets. Rounding out the Quartet’s season were a five-city U.S. tour with bassist-composer Edgar Meyer, a tour of the West Coast with mandolinist Avi Avital, and a European tour. The 2015-16 season included debuts at Carnegie Hall, Yale University, the Lucerne Festival, and as part of the
Lincoln Center “Great Performers” series. Festival appearances have taken the ensemble to the Bard Music Festival, Music at Menlo, La Jolla SummerFest, Artosphere, Chamber Music Northwest, and Caramoor, where the Quartet was named the 2013-14 Ernst Stiefel String Quartet-in-Residence. The group’s world-class collaborators have included pianists Anne-Marie McDermott, Marc-André Hamelin, Peter Serkin, and Jon Kimura Parker; violists Roberto Díaz and Cynthia Phelps; and the Pacifica and Escher Quartets.
In the spring of 2016, the Dover Quartet was recognized with the Hunt Family Award, one of the inaugural Lincoln Center Emerging Artist Awards, and in past years has taken top prizes at the Fischoff Competition and the Wigmore Hall International String Quartet Competition. All four Quartet members are consummate solo artists: first violinist Joel Link took first prize at the Menuhin Competition; violinist Bryan Lee and violist Milena Pajaro-van de Stadt have appeared as soloists with the Philadelphia Orchestra and Tokyo Philharmonic, respectively; and cellist Camden Shaw released a solo album debut on the Unipheye Music label. As Strad magazine observes, “With their exceptional interpretative maturity, tonal refinement, and taut ensemble,” the Dover Quartet is “pulling away from their peers.”

#BrooklynClassicalBach Cello Suite No. 1: Sarabande (for Three Cellos)Brooklyn Classical2018-03-02 | The Sarabande from J.S. Bach's cello suite no. 1 in G Major, arranged for three cellos. BUY SHEET MUSIC: http://bit.ly/2CRYNCr /////////EXPAND this box for more info!
**SHEET MUSIC: Sheet music for all six movements, arranged for three cellos is available here: http://bit.ly/2CRYNCr
Performed live by cellists Cicely Parnas, Patrick Laird, and Christine Lamprea for Brooklyn Classical.
We had so much fun performing this arrangement! Cicely did such an incredible job with arranging the suite for three cellos - it's an entirely new and fresh way to hear this iconic piece. And for cellists, it's such a rewarding way to perform it. The first cello part remains the same as the original, so if you've already learned the piece, you can perform it easily with cello friends. The other cello parts really help to hear the harmonies well, and performing the piece as a trio really keeps your rhythm in check. If you're interested in playing this version, we have the sheet music available here: http://bit.ly/2CRYNCr
