Górecki, Henryk Mikolaj - ... Songs are sung op. 67

... Songs are sung op. 67 - String Quartet No. 3 op. 67

In spring 2005, after thirteen years of persistence, patience, and cancelled performances, the Kronos Quartet finally received the score to Henryk Góreckis Piesni Spiewaja ("…songs are sung"), String Quartet no 3, op 67 - a 50-minute magnum opus (originally commissioned in 1992). It came with the dedication, "To the Kronos Quartet, which for so many years has waited patiently for this quartet." The quartets title is inspired by the last line of a poem by the Russian poet Velimir Khlebnikov, "When people
die, they sing songs."
