Gemeinsam Musizieren ist fur Kleinkinder und Erwachsene gedacht. Kleinkinder lernen durch Spielen, Nachforschen und, vor allem, durch Bewegung. In diesem Buchlein wollen wir Sie mit spielerischem Musizieren vertraut machen, das Sie mit Ihrem Kleinkind praktizieren konnen. Die ersten sechs Lebensjahre sind die wichtigsten fur die Formung des Menschen. In diesen Jahren erfassen Kinder alles in ihrer Umgebung. So bringen sie sich letztlich selber das Aufrechtstehen, das Gehen, die Muttersprache - auch jede andere Sprache, die in ihrer Umgebung gesprochen wird - bei. Zum Lernen brauchen sie nur wach und dabeizusein. Sie nehmen Eindrucke ihrer Umwelt auf und verarbeiten sie. Somit ist ihre hausliche Umgebung die erste Schule des Kindes und Sie, liebe Eltern, sind die wichtigsten Lehrer Ihrer Kinder. Je fruher ein Kind mit der Musik und ihren Instrumente sowie der Atmosphare, die Musik zu bewirken vermag, vertraut wird, um so freier wird es sich fuhlen, selber und unbefangen zu musizieren. Am leichtesten wird Ihr Kind den Weg zur Musik finden, wenn Sie mehrmals am Tag musizieren. Wenn Musik in den naturlichen Tagesablauf eingebaut ist, wird Ihr Kind als Begleitung zu seinen Aktivitaten umso mehr selber singen, tanzen und Gerausche nachahmen. Zu bestimmten Tageszeiten konnen Sie ein musikalisches Spiel einplanen. Daneben sollte sich die Moglichkeit zum Musizieren eher zufullig udn absichtslos ergeben. Kniereiten, Fingerspiele, Lieder mit Korperbewegungen, Instrumente spielen, Versteckspiele, Wiegen- und Schlaflieder sind alles Aktivitaten, die Ihnen fur jeden Tag eine grosse Auswahl an Moglichkeit des spielerischen Musizierens anbieten. Ihr Kind wird erleben, dass Sie gerne musizieren und dass Sie sich musikalisch auszudrucken vermogen. Ihre Freude am Musizieren kann Ihr Kind stark beeinflussen, selber Freude am Musizieren zu entwickeln. Kleinkindern ist die Neigung angeboren, alle Dinge ihrer Umgebung zu beruhren, zu bewegen, auszuprobieren. So ist es nur ganz naturlich, dass Kinder sich auch sehr gerne Musikinstrumenten zuwenden. Schaffen Sie geeignete einfache Instrumente fur Ihr gemeinsames Musizieren an; lassen Sie Ihr Kind die Instrumente richtig handhaben, d.h. anfassen, benutzen und herumtragen. Gemeinsam musizieren - aktiv musizieren - sich zur Musik bewegen, Musik erleben, Instrumente spielen, Musik horen - alle diese Aktivitaten machen kleinen Kindern Freude. Mehr als je zuvor wird von der psychologischen Forschung die freudige Anregung in einer zusagenden Umgebung als die wichtigste Motivation zum Lernen betrachtet. Spielen Sie mit Ihrem Kind Musik!

From Robert Orledge's notes:

My interest in the wonderful music of Claude Debussy began in the 1980s when I researched and published a book with Cambridge University Press entitled Debussy and the Theatre. During the course of my studies in Paris, I was amazed to discover that Debussy planned over 50 theatrical works but only finished two of these entirely by himself (the opera Pelleas et Melisande in 1893-1902 and the ballet Jeux for Diaghilev's Ballets Russes in 1912-13). Of the rest, many were never started musically (like Siddartha and Orphee-roi with the Oriental scholar Victor Segalen, 1907); some had a few tantalising sketches (like the Edgar Allan Poe opera Le Diable dans le beffroi, 1902-03); some were half-finished (like his other Poe opera La Chute de la Maison Usher, 1908-17); while others were musically complete but had their orchestrations completed by other composers (like Khamma, by Charles Koechlin, 1912-13; or Le Martyre de Saint Sebastien and La Boite a joujoux by his 'angel of corrections' ['l'ange des Corrections'] Andre Caplet in 1911 and 1919 respectively).

For it has to be admitted that what some scholars call Debussy's 'compulsive achievement' could equally well be viewed as laziness, especially as far as the minute detail required for calligraphing his orchestral scores was concerned. It was as if creating the music itself was of greater importance than controlling its final sound, even if Debussy was an imaginative orchestrator when he found the time and energy to do it. It also seems true that Debussy also preferred inventing ideas to turning them into complete pieces. However, despite the lack of detail in many of his sketches (missing clefs, key signatures, dynamics, phrasing, etc.) the notes themselves are surprisingly accurate, whether or not they can be compared with a later draft. Thus, a large number of sketches exist for his Chinese ballet No-ja-li ou Le Palais du Silence and it is not too difficult to see which parts of Georges de Feure's 1913 scenario (see below) inspired which ideas. But Debussy hardly made any attempt to join them together after the first few bars.

It was usually up to his publisher, Jacques Durand, to find solutions when Debussy risked a breach of contract. Debussy was supposed to supervise the orchestrations completed by others, but this supervision was usually very light and restricted to quiet, sensitive moments in which problems were easier to spot. Far from jealously guarding every one of his created notes, as Ravel did, Debussy once even went as far as to ask Koechlin to 'write a ballet for him that he would sign' on 26 March 1914 when he was hard-pressed to fulfil his lucrative contract for No-ja-li with Andre Charlot at the Alhambra Theatre in London. In the end, Debussy (through Durand) sent Charlot the symphonic suite Printemps instead, whose orchestration had been completed by Henri Busser in the Spring of 1912.

So, when I was offered early retirement as Professor of Music at Liverpool University in 2004, I seized the opportunity it would give me to spend time trying to reconstruct some of Debussy's lost potential masterpieces from his existing sketches and drafts--then orchestrating them in Debussy's style when this was appropriate. I had begun this mission in 2001 with the most promising project, the missing parts of Scene 2 of La Chute de la Maison Usher and the sheer joy it gave me at every stage persuaded me to tackle other projects, especially when Debussy experts were unable to identify exactly where I took over from Debussy (and vice versa) in Usher.

In the dim moonlight on a night long past a rider emerges from the fog and slowly dares to cross a mysterious and unsettling bridge. The trembling rider hesitates, unsure whether he is more nervous about the legend of the headless horseman or the creaking and shifting he feels under his own horse's hooves. Haunted Bridges is a work for string orchestra inspired by Washington Irving's Ichabod Crane and his ill-fated ride in Sleepy Hollow. The piece contains allusions to the tune London Bridge is Falling Down, first as a creeping counter-melody and later as a theme in a twisted 3/4 section whose shifting harmonic progression draws to mind the fall of the fabled bridge. Haunted Bridges contains alternating F/C-sharps and -naturals throughout and devilishly unpredictable harmonic patterns. The piece also calls for numerous extended techniques that students will enjoy, including playing behind the bridge, sul ponticello, portamento, and seagull glissandi. Special techniques: Haunted Bridges calls for a handful of extended techniques, most of which are self explanatory or commonly known. The technique appearing in the Violin II part from measures 58-72 may require some additional explanation. This figure is sometimes referred to as seagull glissando and is achieved by lightly touching the finger to the string and gliding up and down the string, producing many transient natural harmonics as the finger crosses the nodes of the string. It is suggested to start with the 3rd finger on the A string and slowly glissando up beyond the natural A harmonic, then slowly back down, continuing in this pattern until measure 73. It is also intended for each player to vary their speed slightly so that the timing of the glissandi are all a little different, resulting in a shimmering, aleatoric effect.
