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

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

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

quartet. - Douglas
Townsend. MyA
Fantasy on The Wee
Cooper of FifeA 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 calledA
Rissoldy Rossoldy.A
Except for a few
notes, the song was
almost identical to the
English folksongA 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

true personality shines
as it moves between
technical off-the-string
passages and soaring
melodies. Combine that
with syncopated rhythmic

to maintain the integrity
of the original work,

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

they have somewhere to go

Moonlight
Shadows is a passionate
and colorful piece for
strings that explores the
expressive power of the
string orchestra. Sean
O'Loughlin uses a lush
harmonic palette and
variety of texture
(including a short
pizzicato section), to
create an important and
soulful addition to the
repertoire for younger
string ensembles.
Duration:
2'30. Moonlight
Shadows is a work for
string orchestra that
reflects my great love
for the music of Samuel
Barber. His compositions
from the 1930s and 1940s
were characterized by
plush harmonies, flowing
melodies and engaging
suspensions. These
elements are what I
focused on in the
composition
of Moonlight
Shadows.The material
represents my mood and
feelings when I look at a
big, bright moon. The
shadows it casts create
an eerie feeling, while
at the same time
providing a deep, rich
tapestry for the earth at
night.The harmony
features many major
seventh-chords with
half-step suspensions.
These suspensions
function as common tones
to the next chord and
create the tension of the
piece. They also move, in
order to provide
resolution to the piece
which allows the listener
to rest. With this in
mind, these suspensions
should be brought out
during
performance.Moonlight
Shadows is an emotional
piece that allows the
young musician the
opportunity to play with
much expression.

The title
depicts the uplifting
nature of the piece that
inspires young players to
have confidence and
respect while living with
character and integrity.
The music is
characterized by strong
melodic intervals of
fourths and fifths and
dynamic contrasts, a
Larry Clark signature
that has made his music
so popular. In addition,
every player is an
important part of the
music. This is a perfect
showpiece for developing
groups for concerts or
festivals. As a former
teacher I always tried to
use the experience of
playing in an ensemble to
teach students about
being good people first b
having confidence, being
respectful, living with
character and integrity.
I choose to write music
with titles that will
stimulate students to
strive for this high
standard and I have tried
to write pieces that will
somehow musically depict
these values.
Integrity is one
such piece. I hope you
will find the main theme
to be uplifting and with
musical integrity, but
within the reach of
developing students. My
themes usually are
characterized by strong
melodic intervals of
fourths and fifths and
this piece is no
exception. It is also my
goal when writing music
for younger students to
provide every section in
the ensemble a chance to
play important melodic
material at some point in
the piece. In my humble
opinion, if students are
given music they like to
play they will want to
practice it over and over
again. The tempo markings
and bowings indicated are
only there as a guide and
should be adjusted to the
needs of your students.
It has been my pleasure
to have the opportunity

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

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

This
outstanding original from
Larry Clark can be played
any time of year! A
vigorous theme moves
through all the sections
and violas combine with
second violins for
prominent solo passages.
A section in minor adds
to the drama as strong
rhythmic chords give way
to a subdued tremolo in
the first violins,
reminiscent of Vivaldi's
Winter This music reaches
a level of intensity your
players and audience will
love. Out of the
Winter is a musical
depiction of the many
moods of winter from its
harsh storms to its
simple beauty. The
composition is based on a
central main theme that
is musically developed
throughout the
composition presented in
and out of major and
minor keys.The main theme
begins right away without
introduction and is set
to depict the simple
delicate beauty of a
light falling snow. The
theme is then developed
in the minor key using
simple contrapuntal
techniques that give the
composition a fresh sound
for pieces at this grade
level. The aggressive
development of the piece
is a musical description
of a powerful winter
storm. The tension of
this section is built to
a climax using
simple divisi in the
strongs and some
poly-chordal harmonic
techniques that give way
to a final return of the
main theme to complete
the piece.Special care
should be given to
exaggerating the contrast
between the two diverse
sections of the piece.
The main theme should be
light and uplifting. The
second section with the
theme in minor should
have an ominous presence,
but still be reminiscent
of the original light
main theme. As with all
of my compositions at
this grade level, adjust
the tempo to fit the
ability level of your
students. It is hope that
this piece helps to
reinforce the concepts of
good musicianship which
you are trying to instill
in your students. Bowings
should be used as a guide
and should be adjusted to
your needs.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.

of the piece sets the
scene with danger and
desperation. By m. 6, our
hero is making his way on
horseback to rescue the
fair maiden. This main
melody is developed and
passed around the
ensemble until m. 36, at
which point despair sets
in. The music is rich
with romantic harmonies
and inner lines. Be sure
to bring out these inner
lines to add to the
passion and drama of the
moment. It continues to
build until a thunderous
arrival at m. 49. From
there we return to our
hero, who is now getting
close to the train tracks
to save the fair maiden.
The tension becomes the
highest at m. 61, when we
are still not sure if our
hero will make it in
time. But alas, at m. 68
he swoops in to save the
day and rescue the fair
maiden. Of course, they
live happily ever
after.My hope is that
your ensemble will have
some fun with this style
of music. It was adapted
from an arrangement I
wrote for the new pipe
organ at the Walk Disney
Concert Hall in Los
Angeles. They wanted some
scary train music to show
children how the organ
was used back before
movies had sound. Strings
provide a heightened
sense of drama with this
genre of music.

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.
