Series of pieces for scordatura violin (scordatura: the tuning of violin strings to non-standard pitches). A variety of effects is achieved by altering the tension of the strings and their harmonic relationship. Each of the 27 different tunings has a distinctive resonance. Inspired by Heinrich Von Biber’s Mystery Sonatas (circa 1685).

This work is quite playable but spectacular and virtuoso in effect. The second movement (Toccata) is available on the Canterbury Composers CD. It has also been performed and broadcast by the NZ String Quartet. At its premiere performance (in 1993) the complete 4-movement work was recognised by the reviewer as a “major NZ work”.

This work was written in 1920, and details of the work’s first production on 3rd March, 1921 are recorded in the Alfred Hill papers, complete with press reportage and criticism of that event. Originally dedicated in this form to Henri Verbrugghen, whose quartet first performed it, the work was subsequently revived as the Symphony No. 11 in E flat, and renamed The Four Nations, whilst retaining the same general literary programme that applied to the original string quartet.
