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.

English comments: This is the definitive version of Biogenesis, a piece that Cervello had written in 1976, together with his friend Jorge Wagensberg, and which was awarded the First Prize at the Spanish Ministry for Education and Science's Permanent Composition and Musical Research Competition. The new version was made at 1984-85 Lux et umbra is written for a string group consisting of four first and four second violins, three violas, three cellos and a double bass. The conceptual battle between darkness and light is represented by the instability between the notes B and C, and by the compartmentation of the group of fifteen strings into divisi that provide an independent arrangement for each instrument, thus bestowing great substance upon the texture of the music. A cello cadence emerges from a slow and straightforward beginning. A process of contrasts then begins, culminating in a molto vivace passage of a scherzando nature, which alludes to the Baroque concerti grossi. The music once again plays with chiaroscuro until reaching its climax, from which point the conclusion slowly begins, establishing itself in the high register until fading away. The work was first performed at Barcelona's Palau de la Musica by the English Chamber Orchestra, directed by Enrique Garcia Asensio, in 1987. That same year, in the newspaper El Pais, the observations of the composer and critic Francesc Taverna-Bech paid tribute to the work's intelligence as regards the use of and search for instrumental resources (in this case, string instruments, about which Cervello knows a great deal), the skill involved in endowing the lyrical line with tension, and a singular touch that confers formal essence upon the musical discourse. In La Vanguardia, Jordi Llovet wrote that this is a work in which, as is the case with most of Cervello's compositions, the listener finds something covertly religious, a mysterious secret, a transcendence linked to the origins of communication requiring more than a single being, which provides excitement. In 1990, when the Orquesta de Granada (Orchestra of Granada) performed the work at Barcelona's Grec festival, the critic Cesar Calmell opined, in the same newspaper, that inch by inch, surely and imperturbably, Cervello built up a perfect world that reflects the image of the craftsman who, so astonished at the delights of his trade, is unable to do anything but turn the very backdrop of tragedy into something pleasant. Lux et umbra was recorded by the Orchestra Estatal of the Hermitage, conducted by Alexis Soriano (CD SA01210 Fundacion Autor). --Xavier Casanoves Danes Music criticComentarios del Espanol:Se trata de la version definitiva de Biogenesis, obra que habia escrito en 1976 en colaboracion con su amigo Jorge Wagensberg y que obtuvo el Primer Premio, en el ano de su creacion, en el Concurso Permanente de Composicion e Investigacion Musical del Ministerio de Educacion y Ciencia. La nueva version fue realizada en 1984-85. Lux et umbra esta escrita para un grupo de cuerda integrado por cuatro primeros violines, cuatro segundos, tres violas, tres violoncelos y un contrabajo. El combate filosofico entre la oscuridad y la luz lo lleva a cabo la inestabilidad entre las notas si y do y la compartimentacion del grupo de quince cuerdas en unos divisi que llegan a una escritura independiente para cada instrumento, otorgando una gran importancia a la textura sonora. De un principio lento y descarnado emerge una cadencia del violonchelo. A continuacion da comienzo un proceso de contrastes que culmina en un pasaje molto vivace de caracter scherzando que alude a los concerti grossi del barroco. La musica juega de nuevo con el claroscuro hasta llegar a la cumbre sonora iniciando el final lentamente que se instala en el registro agudo hasta desvanecerse. La estreno en el Palau de la Musica de Barcelona la English Chamber Orchestra en el ano 1987 bajo la direccion de Enrique Garcia Asensio. Ese mismo ano, en el periodico El Pais, el compositor y critico Francesc Taverna-Bech reconocia en sus comentarios la inteligencia en el uso y la busqueda de los recursos instrumentales -en este caso la cuerda, de la que Cervello es profundo conocedor-, la destreza para revestir de tension la linea lirica y un tacto particular para conferir entidad formal al discurso sonoro. Jordi Llovet, en La Vanguardia, escribia que en esta obra, se encuentra, como en la mayor parte de la produccion de Cervello, algo secretamente religioso, un arcano misterioso, una trascendencia vinculada a los origenes de la comunicacion impracticable con el ser unico que resulta apasionante. En el ano 1990, cuando la Orquesta de Granada la toco en el Grec de Barcelona, era el critico Cesar Calmell quien, en el mismo periodico consideraba que Cervello construyo palmo a palmo, segura e imperturbablemente, un mundo perfecto que refleja la imagen del artesano que, de tan admirado con las delicias de su oficio, no puede hacer otra cosa que convertir en agradable el fondo mismo de la tragedia. Lux et umbra esta grabada por la Orquesta Estatal del Hermitage, dirigida por Alexis Soriano (CD SA01210 Fundacion Autor). --Xavier Casanoves Danes Critico musical.

Please check the respective concertos to find the orchestral parts. Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks Ltg. Mariss Jansons (Kompositionsauftrag des BR),,Nirai beschreibt ein imaginiertes Land ein Paradies. Zu Beginn meiner Arbeit hatte ich diese beiden Vorstellungen: von einer Fuge und von den Wurzeln auf Okinawa einer tropischen Insel im Suden Japans. Dort haben viele Baume ganz unglaubliche Formen besonders die Wurzeln haben mich fasziniert. Sie ergeben ausserst komplizierte und organische Gebilde die mich an eine Frage erinnerten. ,,Nirai heisst wortlich ,,aus den Wurzeln kommend oder ,,in Richtung der Wurzeln oder auch ,,Land der Wurzeln. Man verwendet dieses Wort um etwas zu beschreiben das aus der Vergangenheit kommt und das noch heute also in der Gegenwart sinnvoll ist. Genau wie es in Platons ,,Phaidon heisst: Alle alten Dinge kommen aus den neuen und alle neuen Dinge kommen aus den alten. Ich wollte diese Dualitat oder Interaktion zwischen zwei verschiedenen Epochen darstellen. Als Beethoven seine Symphonien schrieb benutzte er die kompositorischen Moglichkeiten die ihm zu jener Zeit zur Verfugung standen. Ich wollte das auch. Wir haben heutzutage ein riesigen Archiv an Techniken und Asthetiken auf die wir zuruckgreifen konnen. Wir konnen aus ihnen die passenden auswahlen oder sie auch kombinieren. In gewisser Weise kann man auch zu diesem Archiv ,,Nirai sagen denn es stellt das Erbe eines Volkes dar. Also wollte ich gerne eine alte Satzweise verwenden die heutzutage nicht so oft zum Einsatz kommt. Ursprunglich wollte ich das ganze Intermezzo in Fugentechnik schreiben. Aber das hat sich als zu schwierig herausgestellt. Ein Rest dieser ursprunglich geplanten Fuge ist am Anfang noch erkennbar. Die Faktur insgesamt ist eher einfach gehalten. Im Stuck ist ein stetes Accelerando angelegt fur den Horer gut wahrnehmbar obwohl mehrere Melodien gleichzeitig in unterschiedlichen Geschwindigkeiten erklingen.Was den Beethoven-Bezug betrifft so nahm ich eine kurze Phrase aus dem Schluss des letzten Satzes der Zweiten Symphonie funf kurze Wechselnoten. Daraus entwickelte ich das Stuck. Bei Beethoven steht diese Phrase in D-Dur naturlich ubernahm ich die Tonart nicht. Was mich reizte war die Tatsache dass es sich um eine kleine Sekunde handelt - das Intervall das in der zeitgenossischen Musik bevorzugt verwendet wird. Die kleine Sekunde ist sehr flexibel sie ermoglicht einem viele Formen der Verwendung. Beethoven war seinen Zeitgenossen vor allem als genialer Improvisator bekannt also nahm ich diese kleine Phrase als Thema einer Improvisation und behandelte es auf sehr freie Art. Von der Sechsten Symphonie entnahm ich keine musikalischen Zitate; stattdessen entwickle ich dieses kurze Intermezzo in ,,pastoraler Form.(Misato Mochizuki) UA der zweisatzigen Fassung: 21.10.2011 NULL World premiere version with two sets: Oct. 21 2011 NULL.

The opening energetic eighth note pattern of the upper strings provides the perfect backdrop for the soaring melody of the Cello and Bass sections. The tempo remains constant throughout as the pulsating rhythm of the opening theme is passed from section to section. This would be a powerful way to begin or end a concert.

Two Daughters is a flowing and impassioned composition dedicated to the composer's daughters that gives the young string orchestra ample chances to display its lyrical abilities. Several solo passages vary the texture, which displays Alan Lee Silva's usual flair for lush contemporary harmonic writing.From the poignant, heartwarming violin melody at m. 5, to the soaring ensemble climax at m. 61, Two Daughters is a flowing, lyrical composition with a wide dynamic range. Written in AABA form with a bridge, the delicate introduction sets up a legato violin solo at m. 5. The piece builds to the singing B-section (m. 21) and returns again to the gentle A-melody (m. 29). The cello is featured in m. 37 under a soft, high string sustain. Two modulations (mm. 37 and 52) move seamlessly and build excitement to the bridge, highlighted by alternating melodic phrases. The slower ending section (m.69) is played with intensity, featuring more sixteenth-note passages. The final two measures return to the sweet, gentle feeling of the introduction.

An absolute classic for strings, this version is in C major to avoid forward extensions for viola and violoncello. There is nothing out of first position except for a simple shift for violoncello and bass in a brief passage. A solo string quartet section gives the work a truly Baroque feel.

The grace and simplicity of the bagatelle (light character piece) meets the intensity and passion of Beethoven in this arrangement for strings. Elegant articulations, light dynamics and fluid, soaring melodies shift to powerful driving eighth notes before a return to the quiet simplicity of the opening. A great way to feature a different side of Beethoven!

This exceptional arrangement may well be the first of its kind to capture the spirit of the Baroque period using just six notes! Beginning and ending with Handel's Hallelujah Chorus, this work also presents Vivaldi's Spring, Clarke's Prince of Denmark's March, and J.S. Bach's Musette. A rare, unsurpassed find in bringing music history to life. Simply outstanding!
