Joseph Haas was the teacher, Paul Hindemith the model of the director of many years' standing of the Frankfurter Musikhochschule. The Heitere Suite was created in 1945. After a slow introduction (quasi rezitativo) with a viola solo full of suspense, the first violins start playing a succinct, rhythmically accentuated theme dominat-ing the whole movement and appearing in many different forms. Lively intensifications and, not least, the occasional soloistic use of the instruments are giving colour to this work. A valu-able addition to our concert programmes of moderate modern style. (Das Liebhaberorchester).

The doleful yet dance-like theme which opens this work captures a duality which pervades the work. The second movement's motoric imitation is broken only momentarily by a poignant pastorale which hints at the piety of the Adagio religioso to follow. A vivacious Allegro, full of syncopation-play and rhythmic puns, tips the scales of the work towards illumination and optimism.

Cliffhanger is a programmatic work for string orchestra that harkens back to the days of silent film. One of the lasting images of that time period is the Saturday afternoon matinee, where each episode ended on a cliffhanger until it could be continued next week. This piece tells the familiar story of the damsel in distress who is tied up to the train tracks as a train is approaching. Nicely done!.Cliffhanger is a programmatic work for string orchestra that harkens back to the days of silent film. One of the lasting images of that time period is the Saturday-afternoon matinee, where each episode ended on a cliffhanger until it could be continued next week. This piece tells the familiar story of the damsel in distress who is tied up to the train tracks as a train is approaching.The opening of the piece sets the scene with danger and desperation. By m. 6, our hero is making his way on horseback to rescue the fair maiden. This main melody is developed and passed around the ensemble until m. 36, at which point despair sets in. The music is rich with romantic harmonies and inner lines. Be sure to bring out these inner lines to add to the passion and drama of the moment. It continues to build until a thunderous arrival at m. 49. From there we return to our hero, who is now getting close to the train tracks to save the fair maiden. The tension becomes the highest at m. 61, when we are still not sure if our hero will make it in time. But alas, at m. 68 he swoops in to save the day and rescue the fair maiden. Of course, they live happily ever after.My hope is that your ensemble will have some fun with this style of music. It was adapted from an arrangement I wrote for the new pipe organ at the Walk Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles. They wanted some scary train music to show children how the organ was used back before movies had sound. Strings provide a heightened sense of drama with this genre of music.
