Oorspronkelijk

The Composer writes. 'In February 1987 I saw in the Tate Gallery in London a painting by the Victorian English painter John William Waterhouse. The painting kept haunting my memory, and as I at the same time planned to write a piece for solo Viola, my ideas for the music and the memory of the painting fused more and more. I decided, then, to let my piece borrow the title of Waterhouse’s painting. The Lady Of Shalott. The picture of a mad-like, pale, and perhaps singing woman alone in a boat without sculls, which calmly slips out from the rush growth of the river is an illustration for the ending of Alfred Tennyson’s poem by the same title, which again plaits into the old English legends about King Arthur. My piece tries to meander - like the river at Camelot - among these sources. ' As suggested above the piece was originally written for Viola solo. This version for String Quartet is from 1993.

I decided, then, to let my piece borrow the title of Waterhouse’s painting. De dame van Shalott. Het beeld van een gekke-achtige, bleke, en misschien zingende vrouw alleen in een boot zonder schedels, die rustig glipt uit van de drukte groei van de rivier is een illustratie voor het einde van het gedicht van Alfred Tennyson's door dezelfde titel, die weer vlechten in het oude Engels legenden over Koning Arthur. Mijn stuk probeert te meanderen - als de rivier in Camelot - onder deze bronnen. ' As suggested above the piece was originally written for Viola solo. This version for String Quartet is from 1993.
