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

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

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

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.

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.

A warm and
richly scored setting of
the popular Christmas
carol Bring a Torch
Jeanette, Isabella, this
full sounding arrangement
will greatly enrich
seasonal programming. Roy
Phillippe has employed a
broad palette of harmonic
and instrumental colors
to craft a memorable
holiday
selection. Bring a
Torch is a lovely
Christmas carol. Using
techniques such as
suspensions,
re-harmonization and
modulations, my goal is
to provide an interesting
showcase for this
familiar melody. the
introduction in F major
features sustained
violins with a pattern of
moving eighth notes in
the violas and cellos.
This pattern recurs
throughout the piece. The
first statement of the
melody is in the first
violins. The second
violins supply harmonic
support along with the
viola/cello pattern.
Measures 13-29 feature a
section of tutti chordal
playing. Measure 30
crescendos into the
modulation to D major at
m. 32. Here, the dynamic
is forte, and the
viola/cello pattern
returns. At m. 40, the
violas and cellos have
the melody with violin
accompaniment. A
crescendo begins at m. 44
and builds
to fortissimo at m.
48, featuring a
modulation to G major. At
this point the melody
should soar. A
descrescendo at m. 60 is
followed by a ritard
at m. 64. The final four
measures are in the
original tempo ending on
a tutti chord.Careful
attention to dynamics,
especially in the
accompanying parts, will
result in a fine
performance.

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
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. Summer

minor.
This is a
tour-de-force for the
advancing string
orchestra. Beautiful,
dramatic, and flowing,
Waterloo Station is very
fresh and contemporary.
Students will love it for
the lush harmonic
textures and rhythmic
drive that this composer
is so noted
for. Composed as a
characterization of the
fast-paced atmosphere of
London’s Waterloo
Train Station, this
fast-slow-fast piece
combines technical
excitement with heartfelt
simplicity.The fast
section in G minor
consists of two main
parts: the intense,
emotional A section at m.
21 and the legato,
sweeping B section at m.
59. The syncopated tutti
figures in the high
strings coupled with the
fiery cello and bass
lines propel the fast
sections. The phrase in
mm. 1–8 recurs
throughout. Making four-
to eight-measure
exercises of this section
below tempo in the
violins and viola,
focusing on rhythmic
clarity, will help to
lock in the syncopation.
Similarly, the cello and
bass should rehearse this
slowly as well as mm.
9–16 to gain
fluidity and insure a
solid foundation.The
cellos carry the tune at
m. 71, and the ensemble
builds from mm.
79–86 to the
transition at m. 87. An
abrupt change to half
tempo here slows the
momentum and transitions
to a quiet, melancholy
tone in m. 91. The middle
section (ABA) begins in G
minor with a somber
quality, highlighted by
the Violin I solo. It
gradually builds to a
beautiful, uplifting
setting as it moves to G
major in m. 100.
Returning back to the
hushed G minor tonality,
it then speeds up again
and transitions back to
Tempo I for a brief
recapitulation of the
fast section. Measure 117
marks the return to
vigorous playing,
beginning softly and
building to a thrilling
ride to the end.

Giddy-u
p little donkey! Hurry,
because we're late
getting to Bethlehem! The
image of the traveler is
vividly portrayed in this
Spanish children's carol,
arranged to depict the
clip-clop of the donkey
with pizzicato eighth
notes and an optional
wood block. Students will
focus on articulations,
dynamics, and the
inherent modulations
between the verse and the
chorus.
