A truly
masterful fantasy on an
English folk song, this
piece shows the
exceptional musical
development found in many
of the greatest classical
symphonies. The fantasy
is roughly in the style
of the classical rondo
(ABACA) and features fine
counterpoint and engaging
melodies. This piece can
be played in an
orchestral and quartet
setting and is both
challenging and fun to
play. My Fantasy
on The Wee Cooper of Fife
was one of four such
fantasies I wrote for my
daughter April when she
was studying the violin,
and I had hopes that when
she reached the age of
wisdom and proficiency
she would play them with
her friends. Life being
what is it, she
eventually gave up the
violin and chose a
completely different
career for herself-though
we are still the best of
friends! I found the song
in a collection of folk
songs for children where
it is called Rissoldy
Rossoldy. Except for
a few notes, the song was
almost identical to the
English folksong The
Wee Cooper of Fife,
which begins: There was a
Wee Cooper named Fife /
nickity nackety roo noo
roo / He took him to wed
a gentle wife / nickity
nackety roo noo roo / She
would na card she would
na spin / for fear 't
would harm her gentle
skin.... The tune is
rollicking and words are
amusing, and yes,
eventually they worked
out their problems!
The Fantasy is
roughly in the style of
the classical rondo,
which is ABACA coda, such
as one finds in the last
movements of some of
Haydn's later symphonies.
This composition may be
performed by a string
orchestra or solo string
quartet. - Douglas

The
discovery of a lost
source to AntonÃn
Dvorák's
â??Nocturneâ? in B
major op. 40 provides new
insights into the genesis
of the composition and
the composer's intended
final form of this
lyrical little piece for
string
orchestra.
The
musical material of what
was later to be named
â??Nocturneâ? was
initially elaborated in
the String Quartet in E
minor; subsequently it
was used in the original
version of the String
Quintet in G major as its
second movement. However
Dvorák then extracted
it again, expanding and
editing it afresh. The
final result was the
â??Nocturneâ? for
string orchestra (two
violins, viola,
violoncello, double
bass). The first edition
was published by Bote and
Bock in 1883.
The
authorized second copy of
the work that had served
as a template for the
first printing was
discovered by the editor
Jonáš Hájek in a
privately owned
collection. This enabled
him to resolve the
several ambiguities
caused by the existence
of multiple versions and
to unveil the authentic
â??Nocturneâ?.
