Cliffhanger
is a programmatic work
for string orchestra that
harkens back to the days
of silent film. One of
the lasting images of
that time period is the
Saturday afternoon
matinee, where each
episode ended on a
cliffhanger until it
could be continued next
week. This piece tells
the familiar story of the
damsel in distress who is
tied up to the train
tracks as a train is
approaching. Nicely
done!. Cliffhanger is
a programmatic work for
string orchestra that
harkens back to the days
of silent film. One of
the lasting images of
that time period is the
Saturday-afternoon
matinee, where each
episode ended on a
cliffhanger until it
could be continued next
week. This piece tells
the familiar story of the
damsel in distress who is
tied up to the train
tracks as a train is
approaching.The opening
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.
