Firewalk
is a piece for
young string orchestra
designed to teach
pizzicato playing to the
developing string player.
All too often, pizzicato
is treated simply as an
effect or percussive
accent to a passage. With
this piece, pizzicato
becomes the melody,
harmony and rhythm. It
calls for the player to
use dynamics and phrasing
while playing pizzicato.
This work is adapted from
incidental music I
composed for a production
of The Birth of
Merlin, a play by
William Shakespeare. The
piece is dedicated to
Helen Borgers, who
directed this production
by the Bard in the Yard
Shakespeare Company in
Long Beach, CA. The
material for
Firewalk comes
from a section in the
play where the characters
are dancing a devilish
tango with ethereal
spirits. The music
features jaunty rhythms,
dynamic contrasts, and a
dramatic climax.
Firewalk is a
diverse addition to any
concert
program.
