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

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

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!.

By Brian Balmages.
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.

Pay
tribute to the Greek muse
of dance, Terpsichore,
with this lively jig in G
minor. Upper strings have
the opportunity to shift
to third position and
stay there to play the
main theme. Cellos are
the most active shifters,
using second, third, and
fourth positions, and
even the bass section
will bounce around! An
original work with a
distinctly Celtic sound
and feel, it's a
kid-friendly fiddle tune
with a catchy hook - and
you can speed it up for a
dizzying challenge!

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.
