Summer
Dance is a melodic,
up-tempo piece with
plenty of musical and
technical challenges for
every player. Musicians
should strive to play it
with an energetic yet
legato feel. A
spirited introduction
features an opening
melody in the violins and
active repeated-note
pedal patters in the
violas and low strings.
An AABA form begins at
m.5 and the orchestration
is immediately pared down
to feature violin I and
cello. It then builds
again in density to the B
section, where a quick
dynamic drop allows a
question-and-answer
melody between the two
parts to sing out. In m.
29, the melody is
harmonized and a
countermelody in violin I
introduced. The violins
take the melody soaring
in octaves in m. 33, as
the piece again builds to
the B section and
suddenly quiets. Measure
55 then provides more
question-and-answer
interplay, this time for
viola and cello, while
violin continues with its
newly harmonized melody.
Summer Dance finishes
with a soft recurrence of
the opening figure and a
build toward a powerful
divisi voicing
on beat 3 of m. 63, right
before the final
chord. Summer

Arches
em> is a piece for the
developing string
orchestra that derives
its title from the
national park in Utah. I
visited the Arches
National Monument in June
of 2003 during a
cross-country trip. The
Delicate Arch is the
recognizable landmark
from this beautiful
national park. In order
to see this remarkable
natural formation up
close, you have to hike a
trail of over two miles.
The music in this piece
is inspired by my journey
to see the arch. Once
there, you are treated to
a vast panoramic view of
the golden Utah landscape
that leaves one
breathless.
Arches is an
effective piece in
teaching
pizzicato
playing as a melodic
device. Most often,
pizzicato is
used as an effect or
punctuation mark to
larger melodic ideas.
There is a brief arco
section to provide
contrast and build up to
the dramatic return of
the main
pizzicato
melody. Each section in
the ensemble has a
statement of the melody.
It is important to think
linearly in addition to
vertically when playing
these pizzicato
lines. Forward motion is
of up-most importance in
terms of making musical
phrases out of these
pizzicato
lines. Arches

When
traveling through the
desert southwest of the
United States, you may be
fortunate enough to come
across a strange looking
brown and white streaked
bird called the
Roadrunner. It has a blue
patch of skin circling
the eyes, a tiny dot of
bright red behind the
eyes, a bushy crest on
the top of its head and a
long tail that bobs up
and down. A member of the
cuckoo family, it is New
Mexico's state bird, and
can run in bursts of
speed from between ten to
twenty miles per hour.
Because it is equipped to
run rather than fly, its
feet are different from
other bird species,
having two toes in front
and two toes in the back.
Its tracks looks like the
letter X. Although
roadrunners can become
airborne, they are
basically ground birds
and do not fly. They eat
insects, scorpions, small
rodents, birds, lizards
and snakes. They do make
noise when in danger;
however, the clicks and
clatters do not resemble
the sound of a honking
horn that we think of
from the Hollywood
cartoon version of
roadrunners. The repeated
notes in the opening
melody of Roadrunner
Rally will remind
you of the sight of a
roadrunner traveling
along at breakneck speed.
A crisp spiccato
accompanied by pizzicato
in the cello and bass
paints the picture of the
bird running through the
desert. At m. 17 you will
hear that raucous honk,
honk that is associated
with the roadrunner
saying Out of my way! The
syncopation can easily be
learned by feel as well
as by counting carefully.
At m. 25 and similar
passages, the first
violins will have fun
learning the jazz licks.
The walking bass like at
m.69 with the jerky sound
of the octaves in the
upper strings will remind
you of the awkward
appearance of this
ungainly bird. And of
course, Roadrunner
Rally ends with a
loudly emphasized honking
noise, the beep that we
associate with the
humorous picture of the
roadrunner. When

ungainly bird. And of
course, Roadrunner Rally
ends with a loudly
emphasized honking noise,
the beep that we
associate with the
humorous picture of the
roadrunner. When
traveling through the
desert southwest of the
United States, you may be
fortunate enough to come
across a strange looking
brown and white streaked
bird called the
Roadrunner. It has a blue
patch of skin circling
the eyes, a tiny dot of
bright red behind the
eyes, a bushy crest on
the top of its head and a
long tail that bobs up
and down. A member of the
cuckoo family, it is New
Mexico's state bird, and
can run in bursts of
speed from between ten to
twenty miles per hour.
Because it is equipped to
run rather than fly, its
feet are different from
other bird species,
having two toes in front
and two toes in the back.
Its tracks looks like the
letter X. Although
roadrunners can become
airborne, they are
basically ground birds
and do not fly. They eat
insects, scorpions, small
rodents, birds, lizards
and snakes. They do make
noise when in danger;
however, the clicks and
clatters do not resemble
the sound of a honking
horn that we think of
from the Hollywood
cartoon version of
roadrunners.The repeated
notes in the opening
melody of Roadrunner
Rally will remind you of
the sight of a roadrunner
traveling along at
breakneck speed. A crisp
spiccato accompanied by
pizzicato in the cello
and bass paints the
picture of the bird
running through the
desert. At m. 17 you will
hear that raucous honk,
honk that is associated
with the roadrunner
saying Out of my way! The
syncopation can easily be
learned by feel as well
as by counting carefully.
At m. 25 and similar
passages, the first
violins will have fun
learning the jazz licks.
The walking bass like at
m.69 with the jerky sound
of the octaves in the
upper strings will remind
you of the awkward
appearance of this
ungainly bird. And of
course, Roadrunner
Rally ends with a loudly
emphasized honking noise,
the beep that we
associate with the
humorous picture of the
roadrunner.
