Hendel Halvorsen Passacaglia for String Quartet – Performed by Hi-AM String Quartet

The Passacaglia by George Frideric Handel, later arranged by Johan Halvorsen, is a powerful set of variations built on a repeating bass line. The work combines Baroque form with Romantic intensity, unfolding with increasing drama, virtuosity, and emotional depth. In this arrangement for string quartet, the music gains richness and complexity as each instrument contributes to the evolving texture. This performance by the Hi-AM String Quartet highlights the work’s driving momentum, expressive contrasts, and architectural clarity, bringing out both its elegance and fiery brilliance. 🎼 Composer: George Frideric Handel 🎻 Arrangement: Johan Halvorsen 🎵 Work: Passacaglia (for String Quartet) 🎶 Ensemble: Hi-AM String Quartet Performers 🎻 Tigran Erkanyan — Violin 🎻 Armeni Mangasaryan — Violin 🎻 Sahak Karapetyan — Viola 🎻 John Hovik Hovhannisyan — Cello Subscribe for more chamber music and classical string performances. #Handel #Halvorsen #Passacaglia #StringQuartet #HiAMStringQuartet #ChamberMusic #ClassicalMusic #BaroqueMusic #RomanticMusic #ClassicalPerformance #LiveClassical
