Here is an ideal way to introduce young string players to simple, yet endlessly fascinating Baroque variation technique. Above a stately bass line appears a series of contrasting textures, each requiring a different bowing technique. And at the end, there is a quick romp, itself also a variation!

Lento is monolithic; major and minor triads generate a sequence of processionals. The tempo is more or less constant. It uses the same orchestral forces as Wagner's prelude to Parsifal, though deployment is radically different. Most of Lento is scored for strings only. A central episode turns the spotlight on the trombones and the bassoons. Otherwise, woodwind, brass and timpani serve primarily to lend weight to restatements of the two principal subjects.

The title of this piece refers both to the often hectic activity of the holiday season and the perpetual motion rhythms (played in eighth notes) that appear throughout the arrangement. Familiar carols are presented, accompanied by the perpetual motion which is passed between different sections of the orchestra. You'd better slow down-you don't want to miss this one!

'Acquainted with Night', is a cycle of six songs, for alto and strings, harp and timpani. The texts are all concerned with different aspects of night. The first song, 'Lullaby' to a poem by Beaumont and Fletcher, seeks to evoke the 'care-charming' powers of sleep. The second, a setting of Robert Frost's 'Acquainted with the night', is concerned with the lonely world of a strange city at night and the music is characterised by an insistently repeated figure in the accompaniment. The third song contrasts the calmness of the night with the turbulence in a lover's mind - the poem is by the Earl of Surrey. 'Out in the dark' a poem by Edward Thomas, is the text of the fourth song. It is in the form of a scherzo and deals with the mystery and strangeness of night, and, as the poet puts it, the 'might' of night. It is, as the poet says, a hymn to night and the chordal nature of the accompaniment suggests this quality. This song leads directly into the last, which is in fact a reprise of the opening 'Lullaby' so completing the cycle.

Get the whole room clapping! This fun piece is designed to let the director interact with the audience and give the students, parents, and grandparents an opportunity to participate in the program with the ensemble. It has a blues feel and the director could turn this into an impromptu lesson on dynamics, the blues, or the different sounds of the strings: pizzicato, arco, and tremolo.
