Lyric Suite

Lyric Suite

Work for string quartet in six movements by Alban Berg, composed 1925-26 and first performed in Vienna, Austria, on 8 January 1927. Movements 2, 3, and 4 were arranged for string orchestra and first performed in Berlin, Germany, on 31 January 1929, conducted by Jascha Horenstein. Berg quotes from Tristan and Alexander von Zemlinksy's Lyric Symphony and bases the work's note-row on the name of Hanna Robettin-Fuchs, with whom he had an affair. An alternative vocal finale, using a translation of Charles Baudelaire's ‘De profundis clamavi’ by Stefan George, was first performed in New York, USA, on 1 November 1979.

OJAI MUSIC FESTIVAL TO OFFER REVAMPED PROGRAM by Daily News (Los Angeles, CA)
Berg's Lyric Suite is too wispy to support frenetic dance, and it was a solecism to tack one of Wagner's Wesendonck Lieder onto the final, reconciliatory bars of Verklarte Nacht, the Schoenberg work that dancelovers will associate with Antony Tudor's great Pillar of Fire.
Backward with the avant-garde by Barnes, Clive / Dance Magazine
To the sparse atonality of Berg's Lyric Suite the nine adventurous, proficient dancers, five women and four men -- whom the choreographer credits as her creative collaborators, but about whom no program biographies are offered -- grimly pursue their unrequited search for romantic love.
