Characte
r was composed to
introduce young string
players to contemporary
harmonic techniques while
still being within the
technical limitations of
the developing student.
Quartal and quintal
harmonies open the
composition with a
fanfare gesture that ties
the piece together. This
is followed by an
ostinato in the first
violins that contains a
tricky figuration between
G and A that will work
the pinky finger on the
D-string. Players who are
not capable of
maneuvering their pinky
at this brisk tempo
should play the lower
part. The main theme is
given to the inner voice
for a change! After the
main theme there is a
development section that
combines fragments of the
fanfare material with
fragments of the main
theme. A grand pause and
then a stronger statement
of the main theme then
follow this with the
first violins up an
octave. The piece is then
completed with a short
coda containing fragments
of the ostinato and
fanfare material. It
feels natural for the
tempo to speed up
slightly at this point in
the piece. As with all of
my pieces at this level,
the tempo is merely a
suggestion and should be
adjusted slower or faster
to fit the needs of your
students and the
performance situation. It
has been my pleasure to
have the opportunity to
write this piece. I hope
you and your students
enjoy it and find it
useful for your program.

This arrangement is a
setting of Londonderry
Air, the popular anthem
from northern Ireland.
The tune was given lyrics
in 1913 by an English
lawyer named Frederick
Edward Weatherly, and
would then become known
as Danny Boy. Score.

The
magical setting of this
cherished melody combines
exquisite orchestration
with dramatic harmonies.
At times, the arrangement
is quite plaintive
sounding, which is
balanced with more
contemporary harmonies
and powerful
countermelodies. Endless
opportunities for music
making abound, and there
certainly will not be a
dry eye in the house when
the group plays the final
chord after a haunting
violin solo.
Inspirational!

Expressive
playing, some simple
counterpoint, and a touch
of pizzicato characterize
this contemporary
sounding but accessible
piece in two contrasting
sections, slow and
lively. Duration:
3'15. The definition
of Air is a tune or
melody, but often it is
used to describe a piece
that is lyrical in
nature, as in the first
section of this piece.
The next section of the
piece is called Caprice,
which is the French word
for capriccio. The
term capriccio has
been used as the title
for a variety of
different types of works
throughout music history.
It is used here in its
literal definition which
describes the fanciful,
capricious nature of the
second section of the
piece.As part of the
development of the piece,
the minor material from
the Air is used as bridge
material in the Caprice
section. The Air and
Caprice should be very
contrasting in style.
Play the Air very
sustained and
chorale-like and the
Caprice, light with
forward motion. The tempo
of the Caprice should not
be too fast; however, the
tempo can be adjusted
down to accommodate the
ability level of your
ensemble. Bowings have
not been over-marked, and
no slurs are used; feel
free to alter it if
necessary.It has been my
pleasure to have had the
opportunity to write this
piece. I hope that you
and your students find it
useful for your
program.

minor.
This is a
tour-de-force for the
advancing string
orchestra. Beautiful,
dramatic, and flowing,
Waterloo Station is very
fresh and contemporary.
Students will love it for
the lush harmonic
textures and rhythmic
drive that this composer
is so noted
for. Composed as a
characterization of the
fast-paced atmosphere of
London’s Waterloo
Train Station, this
fast-slow-fast piece
combines technical
excitement with heartfelt
simplicity.The fast
section in G minor
consists of two main
parts: the intense,
emotional A section at m.
21 and the legato,
sweeping B section at m.
59. The syncopated tutti
figures in the high
strings coupled with the
fiery cello and bass
lines propel the fast
sections. The phrase in
mm. 1–8 recurs
throughout. Making four-
to eight-measure
exercises of this section
below tempo in the
violins and viola,
focusing on rhythmic
clarity, will help to
lock in the syncopation.
Similarly, the cello and
bass should rehearse this
slowly as well as mm.
9–16 to gain
fluidity and insure a
solid foundation.The
cellos carry the tune at
m. 71, and the ensemble
builds from mm.
79–86 to the
transition at m. 87. An
abrupt change to half
tempo here slows the
momentum and transitions
to a quiet, melancholy
tone in m. 91. The middle
section (ABA) begins in G
minor with a somber
quality, highlighted by
the Violin I solo. It
gradually builds to a
beautiful, uplifting
setting as it moves to G
major in m. 100.
Returning back to the
hushed G minor tonality,
it then speeds up again
and transitions back to
Tempo I for a brief
recapitulation of the
fast section. Measure 117
marks the return to
vigorous playing,
beginning softly and
building to a thrilling
ride to the end.
