ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In recent years, there has been a growing awareness surrounding South African composers and their representation in South African concert venues. Oftentimes, there is limited knowledge available about these composers, their style, and their music, which provides interesting opportunities for new research. One such example is Roelof Temmingh, who during his life greatly contributed as composer and pedagogue to South African music education. Although he only composed two works for string quartet (Prelude en Fuga, and Strykkwartet no.1), these works form part of the South African string quartet repertoire and should be accessible for scholarly and academic consumption. Considering these factors, this study focuses on broad, initial, analytical exploration of these two string quartets, while taking into consideration aspects of style, compositional technique, and performance interpretation. The main motivation for this study is therefore not to provide a comprehensive account of form, harmony, or voice-leading, but rather to open up new avenues of explorative research in South African music, and specifically South African string quartet music. This study employs a number of analytical methodologies, as well as action- research protocols, to produce its findings. The thesis is divided into five chapters. The first chapter serves as a contextual introduction to the study, stating the purpose, literature overview and methodological framework. Following that, the thesis consolidates existing biographic and music-stylistic research about the composer, provides analytical notes about the two works in question, unfolds general observations about style, and finally explores performance considerations within the works. Editorial comments and suggestions on the two string quartets are presented and attached as appendices. AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Suid-Afrikaanse komponiste, en hoe hulle verteenwoordig word, geniet in afgelope jare ‘n groeiende aandag en bewustheid. Telkemaal is bestaande inligting beperk en moeilik om te bekom, veral in terme van styl en komposisionele uitsette. Hierdie gaping skep geleenthede vir nuwe, interesante navorsing. Een so ‘n voorbeeld is Roelof Willem Temmingh, wie gedurende sy leeftyd groot bydraes gelewer het as komponis en pedagoog in Suid-Afrika. Alhoewel hy slegs twee werke vir strykkwartet geskryf het (Prelude en Fuga, en Strykkwartet No.1), vorm hierdie werke ‘n deel van Suid-Afrikaanse strykkwartet repertorium en sodoende behoort dit toeganklik te wees vir akademiese en kreatiewe gebruik. Inaggenome hierdie faktore, het die studie gefokus op ‘n breë inleidende analitiese verkenning van hierdie twee strykkwartette, met ‘n fokus op aspekte soos styl, komposisionele tegniek, en uitvoer interpretasie. Die hoof motiveerder vir die studie is dus nie om ‘n deeglike berekening van vorm, harmonie, of stemleiding te gee nie, maar eerder om nuwe navorsingskanale in Suid- Afrikaanse musieknavorsing oop te maak. Die studie betrek ‘n verskeidenheid analitiese metodes, sowel as aksienavorsing protokol, om bevindinge te skep en dokumenteer. Die tesis is georganiseer in 5 hoofstukke: 1) verskaf ‘n kontekstuele inleiding, agtergrond, literatuuroorsig, en metodologiese raamwerk; 2) konsolideer bestaande biografiese en stylistiese navorsing met betrekking tot Temmingh en sy werke; 3) verskaf analitiese notas oor die twee strykkwartette; 4) skep algemene observasies oor styl; en 5) is ‘n verkenning van uitvoerings-verwante oorwegings, en ‘n algemene refleksie as gevolgtrekking. Redaksie notas word ingesluit, en gravering van die strykkwartette word aangeheg as addendum.
