Beginning String
Orchestra. FJH Beginning
Strings. This
fun-spirited fiddle tune
begins with a unison
statement of the theme,
then gradually expands in
harmony until the entire
ensemble is into the
groove. While the theme
develops, the initial
pizzicato in the low
strings serves as the
rhythm section of the
group. Other members of
the orchestra take over
this rhythm section,
including violas (and
optional violin 3),
stomping and clapping as
the hoedown begins to
roar. As is
characteristic of much
fiddle music, Hey Fiddle
Fiddle! is based mostly
on open 4ths and 5ths.
These intervals become
the focus of the piece at
measure 49, where violins
and violas trade phrases
back and forth with low
strings. One final build
brings the tune back for
a stirring conclusion.

IApart from
some of his Sonatinas,
Opus 36, Clementi's life
and music are hardly
known to the piano
teachers and students of
today. For example, in
addition to the above
mentioned Sonatinas,
Clementi wrote sixty
sonatas for the piano,
many of them unjustly
neglected, although his
friend Beethoven regarded
some of them very highly.
Clementi also wrote
symphonies (some of which
he arranged as piano
sonatas), a substantial
number of waltzes and
other dances for the
piano as well as sonatas
and sonatinas for piano
four-hands.In addition to
composing, Clementi was a
much sought after piano
teacher, and included
among his students John
Field (Father of the
'Nocturne'), and
Meyerbeer.In his later
years, Clementi became a
very successful music
publisher, publishing
among other works the
first English edition of
Beethoven's Violin
Concerto, in the great
composer's own
arrangement for the
piano, as well as some of
his string quartets.
Clementi was also one of
the first English piano
manufacturers to make
pianos with a metal frame
and string them with
wire.The Sonatina in C,
Opus 36, No. 1 was one of
six such works Clementi
wrote in 1797. He must
have been partial to
these little pieces (for
which he also provided
the fingerings), since
they were reissued
(without the fingering)
by the composer shortly
after 1801. About 1820,
he issued ''the sixth
edition, with
considerable improvements
by the author;· with
fingerings added and
several minor changes,
among which were that
many of them were written
an octave higher.IIIt has
often been said,
generally by those
unhampered by the facts,
that composers of the
past (and, dare we add,
the present?), usually
handled their financial
affairs with their public
and publishers with a
poor sense of business
acumen or common sense.
As a result they
frequently found
themselves in financial
straits.Contrary to
popular opinion, this was
the exception rather than
the rule. With the
exception of Mozart and
perhaps a few other
composers, the majority
of composers then, as
now, were quite
successful in their
dealings with the public
and their publishers, as
the following examples
will show.It was not
unusual for 18th- and
19th-century composers to
arrange some of their
more popular compositions
for different
combinations of
instruments in order to
increase their
availability to a larger
music-playing public.
Telemann, in the
introduction to his
seventy-two cantatas for
solo voice and one melody
instrument (flute, oboe
or violin, with the usual
continua) Der Harmonische
Gottesdienst, tor
example, suggests that if
a singer is not available
to perform a cantata the
voice part could be
played by another
instrument. And in the
introduction to his Six
Concertos and Six Suites
for flute, violin and
continua, he named four
different instrumental
combinations that could
perform these pieces, and
actually wrote out the
notes for the different
possibilities. Bach
arranged his violin
concertos for keyboard,
and Beethoven not only
arranged his Piano Sonata
in E Major, Opus 14, No.
1 for string quartet, he
also transposed it to the
key of F. Brahm's
well-known Quintet in F
Minor for piano and
strings was his own
arrangement of his
earlier sonata for two
pianos, also in F
Minor.IIIWe come now to
Clementi. It is well
known that some of his
sixty piano sonatas were
his own arrangements of
some of his lost
symphonies, and that some
of his rondos for piano
four-hands were
originally the last
movements of his solo
sonatas or piano trios.In
order to make the first
movement of his
delightful Sonatina in C,
Opus 36, No. 1 accessible
to young string players,
I have followed the
example established by
the composer himself by
arranging and transposing
one of his piano
compositions from one
medium (the piano) to
another. (string
instruments). In order to
simplify the work for
young string players, in
the process of adapting
it to the new medium it
was necessary to
transpose it from the
original key of C to G,
thereby doing away with
some of the difficulties
they would have
encountered in the
original key. The first
violin and cello parts
are similar to the right-
and left-hand parts of
the original piano
version. The few changes
I have made in these
parts have been for the
convenience of the string
players, but in no way do
they change the nature of
the music.Since the
original implied a
harmonic framework in
many places, I have added
a second violin and viola
part in such a way that
they not only have
interesting music to
play, but also fill in
some of the implied
harmony without in any
way detracting from the
composition's musical
value. Occasionally, it
has been necessary to
raise or lower a few
passages an octave or to
modify others slightly to
make them more accessible
for young players.It is
hoped that the musical
value of the composition
has not been too
compromised, and that
students and teachers
will come to enjoy this
little piece in its new
setting as much as
pianists have in the
original one. This
arrangement may also be
performed by a solo
string quartet. When
performed by a string
orchestra, the double
bass part may be
omitted.- Douglas

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

55 then provides more
question-and-answer
interplay, this time for
viola and cello, while

From the
Rocky Mountains to the
Pacific Ocean, Path to
the Pacific reflects the
open, airy and
picturesque qualities of
the American West. These
textures are painted
through the use of light
syncopation, key
modulations and triplets
that will certainly
ch. From the opening
driving cello melody to
the final ensemble
flourish, Path to the
Pacific is an exciting
and rewarding piece for
young players to play.The
accents in the cello
during the lively
introduction at m. 1 are
integral to the feel of
the melodic line and
provide an engaging
technical challenge. The
AAB form begins as the
piece decrescendos to the
quiet ‘A’
section at m. 9,
featuring violin 1 with a
singing, lyrical
melody.The robust, joyous
‘B’ section
is played with intensity,
but still legato. The
return to the
‘A’ material
at m. 37 features the
Cello. The 2nd statement
of the ‘B’
material at m. 45 is
highlighted by a
refreshing tonal shift to
the key of E then back to
the key of
‘G’ before
the crescendo to the
fermata in m. 58.The
active cello theme from
the introduction returns
in the A Tempo section at
m. 59 at a piano dynamic.
This begins the build to
the maestoso section at
m. 71. Measures 63-70 are
the most aggressive bars
of the composition.
Strive for rhythmic
precision when
approaching the quintal
harmony in m. 63-64, the
accented figures in m.
65-67, and the triplet
figures in m. 68-69. A
rich, resonant tone from
the full ensemble will
make the maestoso section
in m. 71 move powerfully
to the final bar.

Two
Daughters is a flowing
and impassioned
composition dedicated to
the composer's daughters
that gives the young
string orchestra ample
chances to display its
lyrical abilities.
Several solo passages
vary the texture, which
displays Alan Lee Silva's
usual flair for lush
contemporary harmonic
writing. From the
poignant, heartwarming
violin melody at m. 5, to
the soaring ensemble
climax at m. 61, Two
Daughters is a flowing,
lyrical composition with
a wide dynamic range.
Written in AABA form with
a bridge, the delicate
introduction sets up a
legato violin solo at m.
5. The piece builds to
the singing B-section (m.
21) and returns again to
the gentle A-melody (m.
29). The cello is
featured in m. 37 under a
soft, high string
sustain. Two modulations
(mm. 37 and 52) move
seamlessly and build
excitement to the bridge,
highlighted by
alternating melodic
phrases. The slower
ending section (m.69) is
played with intensity,
featuring more
sixteenth-note passages.
The final two measures
return to the sweet,
gentle feeling of the
introduction.

A salute to
the famous sailboat race,
this rollicking piece in
A minor introduces
compound time with an
opening (and closing)
section in 12/8. The fast
flowing music of the
opening, vividly
suggestive of a ship
slicing through the
waves, returns in a
higher key (B minor)
after a warmly scored,
sweepingly melodic middle
section. This is a piece
whose sophistication is
an excellent showcase for
a more advanced
performing
group. Written in 12/8
in A minor,
America’s Cup
evokes the intensity and
momentum of a wild sea
with driving triplets,
sweeping melodies, and
accented downbeats. The
A-material from the
opening measure is played
aggressively but lightly
enough to keep the
feeling of forward
motion. Strong accents
and rhythmically precise
playing in the cello and
bass provide solid
support for the fast
moving violin and viola
passages. Measure 67
begins the slow, pastoral
setting of the
B-material. A gentle,
lyrical violin motive in
A major grows into a
high, sweeping melody
over sustained harmonies.
This provides a brief
repose before returning
to the fastoriginal tempo
and minor key as the
recapitulation begins at
m. 90. A modulation to B
minor (m. 94) lifts the
energy of the piece and
gives young players the
challenge of playing the
running lines in another
key. Measure 118 builds
to the end, keeping the
intensity a soft dynamic
and growing into the
final syncopated tutti
unison figure in mm.
122–123.

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
patterns 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
13 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.

Virginia
Croft has taken a popular
German canon and
transformed it into a
stunning new piece for
young string groups. It
begins with the canon as
is, and then adds two
other composed themes
that complement the
original tune. With its
largely contrapuntal
composition, this piece
is an excellent
opportunity for students
to develop their
independence. “A
ll things shall perish
from under the skyMusic
alone shall live, music
alone shall live,Music
alone shall live, never
to die.â€Here is an
exciting treatment of a
well-known simple canonic
melody, first stated in
its entirety by the
cellos. As it passes
through the voices, it
should predominate over
the accompanying
embellishments, resulting
in an energetic and
exciting presentation of
an old tune.What a
wonderful way to teach
the harmonic aspects of
canonic melody while
offering a lively and
enjoyable experience for
both performers and
audience.

Virginia
Croft's experience as a
string player and
educator is evident in
the care with which she
has scored this beautiful
folk tune idiomatically
for young string players.
Relatively easy to play,
Skye Boat Song is a great
opportunity to develop
lyrical playing habits
with a developing string
group. Here is a very
playable setting of a
beautiful Scottish folk
song. It commemorates one
of the most exciting
moments in Scottish
history in the middle of
the eighteenth century
during the Jacobite
Rebellion. At this time,
a small group of men
escaped by night in a
tiny boat across the
rough sea to the Isle of
Skye to save the life of
the young lad whom they
believed to be the
rightful heir to the
throne of Scotland.As you
play this music, can't
you feel the boat rocking
and the oarsmen straining
at their posts against
the sea? The long
diminuendo from m. 51 to
the end passes the final
melodic fragment down
through the voices until
the small boat has
vanished into the
distance, leaving only
the water.The words of
the original folk song
are:Speed, bonnie boat,
like a bird on the
wind;Hark, how the
seagulls cray!Carry the
lad that was born to be
kindOver the sea to
Skye!.

A solid
piece in a processional
style by noted composer
Joseph Compello, Horizons
is both melodic and
engaging. The work has a
strong lyrical line that
is beautifully blended
with an enchanting
pizzicato section. This
helps to augment the
driving pulse th. The
processional style
of Horizons will be
ideal for young string
ensembles which are
seeking a more serious
style of music but which
are not yet capable of
performing at a brisk
tempo. Older groups,
however, should not
perform this piece at a
fast pace, otherwise the
processional feel will be
lost.The articulation
throughout should
be marcato except
where otherwise marked. A
light staccato touch
is required in the
accompaniment beginning
at bar 11. Very young
ensembles always need
guidance in performing
accents and loud dynamics
tastefully.At m. 20, the
cellos have a
countermelody which is
separate from the bass
part. If the ensemble
does not have basses, the
part may be covered on
the piano. At m. 45, the
cellos have optional
notes to allow extra time
to prepare
for pizzicato.
Likewise at m. 53, cues
are included for violin
2, viola and cello to
allow time to prepare
for arco.The
effectiveness of the
final section beginning
at m. 71 should be played
as broadly as possible.
The 100 tempo is a
suggestion.Performance
time with the repeat is
just under three
minutes.Thank you for
choosing this
composition. I hope you
and your students enjoy
performing it.- Joseph
CompelloGlen Arm,
Maryland, 2005.

This is a
sweeping new original
composition in a subto
Scottish style from
popular composer Alan Lee
Silva. Just another one
of the pieces that always
seem to flow effortlessly
from his talented pen.
This is an excellent
piece for any contest or
festival. This
Scottish-flavored,
uptempo piece in has a
lilting, jubilant-feel
throughout. Highland
Celebration is built
around two rhythmic
subdivisions: two groups
of three eighth notes per
measure and three groups
of two eighth notes per
measure. Have the
ensemble distinguish
between the two
subdivisions by tapping
each one separately. Make
an exercise of the rhythm
in mm. 1–2 in
Violin 1 to facilitate
playing the different
rhythms precisely: (1 2 3
- 4 5 6) and (1 2 - 3 4 -
5 6). Rehearsing four- to
eightmeasure sections
under tempo will aid in
tightening these rhythms
and solidifying pitch.The
sections to concentrate
on are: mm. 17–24
and mm. 33–40 to
make sure that Violins I
and II and Cello are
playing together; mm.
33–40, to focus on
the Violin 1 and Violin 2
unisons and couplings;
and mm. 57–62,
where the quarter-note
subdivisions are
emphasized. The piece is
book-ended with the
introduction material
which always begins
quietly and builds. The
ensemble at m. 79 starts
with tutti scalar figures
and increases in
intensity to the final
accented measures at m.
83. Written in AABA form
with a double bridge at
m. 45, the overall
feeling is dance-like and
festive.
