This, MacMillan's second string quartet was commissioned in 1998 by the Maggini Quartet. The work's title is taken from the Jewish rite of commemoration on the Seder Night, which is that before Pesach (Passover) begins. Here the family celebrates the flight of the Children of Israel from Egypt. The youngest asks 'why is this night different from all other nights?' before the father relates the tale of flight and liberation from slavery. The drama of the story, the centrally important figure of the child in the ritual, the closeness between elation and despair and between joy and fear together suggested the archetypes which lie behind MacMillan's musical interests. They provided the initial spark of inspiration for this piece. The work is cast in a single span comprising several contrasted sections.


[FR]
C'est le deuxième quatuor à cordes de McMillan. Il tire son titre du rite juif de la nuit du séder, c'est-à-dire du soir avant le début des fêtes de Pessah. La famille célèbre la fuite des enfants d'Israel en Egypte. Le plus jeune demande : " Pourquoi cette nuit est-elle différente des autres nuits ? ". Le père raconte alors l'histoire de la fuite et de la libération de l'esclavage. La dramaturgie, l'importance centrale de l'enfant dans le rituel, la proximité de l' exaltation et du désespoir de même que celles de la joie et de la peur suggèrent les archétypes sur lesquels repose le propos musical de McMillan. Ils fournirent les éléments initiaux d'inspiration de cette pièce. L'oeuvre est présentée comme un tout comprenant de nombreuses sections contrastées.
