The energetic
activities of three
craftsmen at a local
crafts market inspired
the composer Christian
Bouthier to write this
work in three movements.
The clockmaker gets many
curious visitors at his
stand. He patiently and
proudly shows the
precision work of his
beautiful clocks and lets
all of them tick - the
small ones and large
ones. The cooper
(barrel-maker) skillfully
puts together
fine-looking, sturdy
barrels of the best types
of wood. From afar, you
can hear the cooper
hammering. In the final
movement things are
hectic at the blacksmith
because the local
horse-riding society has
just arrived. Many horses
are provided with new
shoes. The experienced
blacksmith hits
thehorseshoes into the
proper shape on his
anvil; now the horses can
spiritedly trot and
gallop on the way back. A
fascinating new addition
to the concert band
repertoire.

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. In the dim

The musical
effect of Prarie
Lullaby should be
graceful and serene,
evocative of a peaceful
night on the open plains.
To that end, players will
need to strive for an
unlabored rhythmic flow,
smooth bowing and a
clear, steady tone as
close to p as
possible. Beginning at
m.39, the violin and
viola parts are marked
pizzicato. If
young players are unable
to return quickly to
argo at m.53,
they may make the bow
preparation easier by
taking a full measure
rest at m.52. This option
is marked in the parts
and score. The divisi
notes at m. 69 are
provided for ensembles
which lack violas.
Ensembles with violas may
have them play the lower
notes while the second
violins play the upper
notes. Percussion, which
is completely optional,
should be very subdued.
Choose a bell mallet
which allows the tones to
be heard just above the
strings. the woodblock
part is intended to
imitate the clip-clop
sound of a horse's
hooves. Two different
sizes of woodblocks or
temple blocks are needed.
Finding two suitable
sounds on one woodblock
is difficult. Again, the
right mallets are very
important. The suspended
cymbal should be played
with brushes if the
string ensemble is small.
If the suspended cymbal
with brushes cannot be
heard above a large
number of strings, then
sticks should be used
instead. The percussion
part can be performed by
one player, provided the
instruments and mallets
are set up properly and
the player has the skill
to make the transitions
smoothly. Note the
optional rest at mm.

the player has the skill
to make the transitions
smoothly. Note the
optional rest at mm.
53-54. Performance time
with the repeat is two
and a half
minutes. The musical
effect of Prarie Lullaby
should be graceful and
serene, evocative of a
peaceful night on the
open plains. To that end,
players will need to
strive for an unlabored
rhythmic flow, smooth
bowing and a clear,
steady tone as close to p
as possible. Beginning at
m.39, the violin and
viola parts are marked
pizzicato. If young
players are unable to
return quickly to argo at
m.53, they may make the
bow preparation easier by
taking a full measure
rest at m.52. This option
is marked in the parts
and score. The divisi
notes at m. 69 are
provided for ensembles
which lack violas.
Ensembles with violas may
have them play the lower
notes while the second
violins play the upper
notes. Percussion, which
is completely optional,
should be very subdued.
Choose a bell mallet
which allows the tones to
be heard just above the
strings. the woodblock
part is intended to
imitate the clip-clop
sound of a horse's
hooves. Two different
sizes of woodblocks or
temple blocks are needed.
Finding two suitable
sounds on one woodblock
is difficult. Again, the
right mallets are very
important. The suspended
cymbal should be played
with brushes if the
string ensemble is small.
If the suspended cymbal
with brushes cannot be
heard above a large
number of strings, then
sticks should be used
instead. The percussion
part can be performed by
one player, provided the
instruments and mallets
are set up properly and
the player has the skill
to make the transitions
smoothly. Note the
optional rest at mm.
