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 fast
paced rondo has a Dorian
flavored melody with
hints of quartel (based
on an interval of a
fourth) harmony to give
it a contemporary sound
The players are presented
with solo opportunities
as well as harmonic turns
and twists that will keep
them. Rondo in the
Nick of Time was
originally the third
movement for a woodwind
quintet piece that I
wrote in 1990. I have
always been fond of this
little piece and felt
that it would adapt well
to larger ensembles. I
have also scored this
piece for band as part of
a suite called Upon a
New Horizon.The main
theme is based on the
Dorian Mode. The use of
quartal harmony makes up
most of the harmonic
material. Each statement
of the theme is followed
by an episode that
increases in length each
time. There is a sudden
change of style and tempo
in the middle of the
piece, where fragments of
the theme are developed.
The title is a
play-on-words, since the
work contains hemiola
effects that alter the
feel of the time.As with
all of my pieces for
strings, the bowings are
given only as a
reference. Feel free to
alter them to fit the
needs of your students. I
have indicated a rather
fast tempo for the piece.
I really like the piece
to fly, but it will work
and sound fine at a
slower tempo as well.
Just endeavor to keep
their energy moving
forward.It has been my
pleasure to have the
opportunity to write this
piece. I hope that you
and your students enjoy
it and find it useful in
your program.-Larry

One of the

songs of all-time is
presented in a fine new
Doris Gazda arrangment
for beginning strings.
Optional part for bells,

will give you the
opportunity to involve
other students in
performing with the
string orchestra. The
Volga River is the
longest river in Europe
(about 2,300 miles long)
and the principal
waterway of Russia. The
Volga has played an
important part in the
life of the Russian
people, and in Russian
folklore is called Mother
Volga. For centuries it
has served as the chief
thoroughfare of Russia
and as the lifeline of
Russian colonization to
the east. It carries
one-half of the total
river freight of Russia
and irrigates the vast
steppes of the lower
Volga region. Grain,
building materials, salt,
fish and caviar (from the
Volga delta and the
Caspian Sea) are shipped
upstream; lumber is the
main commodity shipped
downstream.The folk
song The Volga Boatman
is supposed to represent
the rhythmic rowing of
the hard-working oarsmen
who took their boats and
rafts up and down this
long waterway. The boats
carried goods for trade,
travelers and the armies
and invaders who fought
throughout the Russian
lands.Close your eyes
while you listen to the
song. Imagine that you
have a boat carrying
grain and fish for a long
distance. Then pretend
you are rowing your boat
in rhythm to the
melody.

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

Resurrection Of The

c. 12 minutes. The
Resurrection Of The

Orchestra was
commissioned by George
Vass, to whom it is
dedicated, and the
English Symphony
Orchestra, for the 2016
Presteigne Festival, with

Council of England.
The title derives from
the final panel of
Stanley Spencer’s
Sandham Chapel visionary
series of paintings which
were the result of
Spencer’s
experiences in the
British army in World War
One and depicts soldiers
emerging from their
graves on the last day.
Themusic is in three
continuous sections: a
slow, sustained
introduction which is, in
essence, a descent from
the note E by means of a
prolation canon, but
which ascends to a rather
intense climactic point
before finally falling
and giving way to an
active fugue which, after
arriving at an anguished,
sustained climax, is
succeeded by a closing
slow movement consisting
of a rising melodic line
which permeates the
entire texture
heterophonically ,
leading to the closing E
major triad. The work
thus traces a cyclical
pitch path which, while
tracing a cyclical path,
also develops
expressively towards a
sense of hope and
resurrection. - Robert
Saxton, April 2016.

A copse is a
thicket of trees and
bushes that may be found
in a meadow or in open
land. In England, a copse
will often be found on a
moor. A copse needs a
source of water that is
usually a stream, small
river or pond. A copse
has abundant plant and
animal life because it
provides the perfect
habitat and shelter for
moisture loving plants,
insects, small mammals,
rodents, reptiles, and
birds. If you were
walking through the copse
in the midst of willow
trees, bluebells and
march marigolds, you
would see beautiful
butterflies, dragonflies
and moths. You might see
a frog or toad jumping on
the banks of the pond and
you would hear the call
of numerous birds.
Ornithologists often
spend many hours watching
and counting birds in and
around a copse. Migrating
birds such as geese and
herons may also be
spotted at certain times
of the year. If you sit
very quietly, you might
catch sight of a red fox,
a rabbit or squirrel. A
copse is a happy place to
spend an afternoon or to
go for a walk. Perhaps
you will get to visit a
nature preserve near your
home where you can
observe the wonderful
world of the woodland
wild life that can be
found in abundance in a
copse. To assist you in
learning some of the
techniques that you need
to be able to use when
playing Willow-Wood

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

With this
arrangement, my goal is
to maintain the integrity
of the original work,
while making it
accessible to the younger
orchestra. An important
aspect of the successful
performance of this piece
is maintaining an
energetic tempo. The
repeated eighth notes in
the accompaniment should
be played cleanly and
crisply to maintain
momentum. There are many
places where abrupt
changes in dynamics
occur. For example, m. 1
begins with a string
unison forte,
which suddenly drops to
piano at m. 11.
Accents, staccatos, and
other articulations
should be carefully
observed. To be
effective, crescendos
should begin at a
reasonable volume, so
they have somewhere to go
dynamically. I hope you

When you
have the good fortune to
visit Red Rock country in
the southwestern United
States, you will all at
once feel that majesty
and beauty in the
towering red landscape.
You can trek, bike,
paddle, ride horseback or
drive through the
canyons, past the
strangely shaped rocks
and over the enormous
boulders. Each time you
turn a corner you will be
dazzled by yet another
magnificent vista. The
Red Rock areas in Utah,
Nevada, Arizona and New
Mexico formed millions of
years ago when that part
of North America was
primarily under water.
The water left behind the
shells and skeletons of
sea creatures that
gradually turned into
limestone and similar
rocks. Beginning 225
million years ago, the
earth's crust began to
move and the seabed
slowly rose. Streams
entering the shallow
water deposited mud and
sand that turned into
shale and marine
sandstone. As the land
continued to rise and dry
out, some of the rocks
oxidized (combined with
oxygen) and turned red in
color. Subsequently the
area was covered with
sands that eventually
compressed into what is
called Aztec sandstone.
Sometimes, when iron was
concentrated in the rock,
the sandstone turned a
bright red color.
Following the
introduction, the music
in Red Rock Rag takes on
a typical ragtime melody
and rhythm. It then
transitions by changing
key, time signature and
the structure into a
swing waltz. At m. 60, it
moves into a combined
time signature of one
measure of 3/4 time and
two measures of 2/4 time
with an occasional lick
in the bass line.
Finally, it moves back
into the swing-waltz
style and finishes with
the original ragtime
melody. Red Rock Rag
is challenging
stylistically and
rhythmically. It would be
appropriate to study both
the ragtime and swing
styles while working on
it. When you have the
good fortune to visit Red

oxygen) and turned red in
color. Subsequently the
area was covered with
sands that eventually
compressed into what is
called Aztec sandstone.
Sometimes, when iron was
concentrated in the rock,
the sandstone turned a
bright red color.
Following the
introduction, the music
in Red Rock Rag takes on
a typical ragtime melody
and rhythm. It then
transitions by changing
key, time signature and
the structure into a
swing waltz. At m. 60, it
moves into a combined
time signature of one
measure of 3/4 time and
two measures of 2/4 time
with an occasional lick
in the bass line.
Finally, it moves back
into the swing-waltz
style and finishes with
the original ragtime
melody.A Red Rock
RagA is challenging
stylistically and
rhythmically. It would be
appropriate to study both
the ragtime and swing
styles while working on
it. When you have the
good fortune to visit Red
Rock country in the
southwestern United
States, you will all at
once feel that majesty
and beauty in the
towering red landscape.
You can trek, bike,
paddle, ride horseback or
drive through the
canyons, past the
strangely shaped rocks
and over the enormous
boulders. Each time you
turn a corner you will be
dazzled by yet another
magnificent vista. The
Red Rock areas in Utah,
Nevada, Arizona and New
Mexico formed millions of
years ago when that part
of North America was
primarily under water.
The water left behind the
shells and skeletons of
sea creatures that
gradually turned into
limestone and similar
rocks. Beginning 225
million years ago, the
earth's crust began to
move and the seabed
slowly rose. Streams
entering the shallow
water deposited mud and
sand that turned into
shale and marine
sandstone. As the land
continued to rise and dry
out, some of the rocks
oxidized (combined with
oxygen) and turned red in
color. Subsequently the
