Herbert Murrill completed his String' Quartet a few months before the war, in May 1939. It is one of his most considerable works, revealing a wide range of feeling and an exceptional command of the medium. As a whole the Quartet possesses an almost classical elegance, though certain passages have a passionate jntensity and the harmonies are of our day. Parts of the' work were written (as the composer once told me) while he was staying in France, near the Spanish frontier; and the hints of jazz in the finale and its undercurrent of sadness arose as he looked across to Spain one night (where the Civil War was being fought) and heard at the same time strains of dance music coming from an hotel nearby. The first movement (which is in A minor) is marked Allegramente; the second is a lively Scherzo (Presto leggiero e volante); the third (Andante molto moderato) has the character of an Elegy; the fourth (in C major) is an Allegro. Distinction of mind and ' a most excellent fancy ' are apparent in the Quartet, and intensify our sense of loss in the death of the composer, at the age of forty-three, a month ago.
