The De Haske String Orchestra Series offers attractive pieces especially composed and arranged for string orchestras. Students and teachers are treated to a great variety of musical styles. Each part presents a challenge to the player. The Viola part can be replaced by a 3rd Violin part, and the Double bass part can be replaced by a 2nd Cello part. The Piano part is mainly meant for support, but it occasionally adds new motifs as well.

Classical Highlights is a collection of six arrangements of classical themes dating from 17th to 19th century. The parts have been kept easy and attractive; at the same time they stay close to the original.

De De Haske String Orchestra Series biedt u aantrekkelijke, speciaal voor strijkorkest gecomponeerde en gearrangeerde werken. De stukken zijn geschreven in verschillende stijlen: van klassiek en folk tot moderne, populaire muziek. Iedere partij is zo geschreven dat elke speler in het orkest een uitdaging heeft. De partij voor altviool kan door een derde viool worden vervangen. De partij voor contrabas kan ook door een tweede cello worden gespeeld. De pianopartij dient als ondersteuning, maar voegt soms ook nieuwe motieven toe aan de muziek.

Classical Highlights is een verzameling arrangementen van klassieke thema’s die dateren uit de 17e tot en met de 19e eeuw. De partijen zijn eenvoudig en aantrekkelijk geschreven: tegelijkertijd blijven de arrangementen dicht bij het origineel.

Die De Haske String Orchestra Series bietet attraktive, speziell fu r Streich­orchester komponierte und arrangierte Stu cke in einer stilistischen Vielfalt von Klassik u ber Folk bis zu modernen U-Musikstilen. Jede Stimme stellt dabei besondere Herausforderungen an die Spieler. Die Violastimme kann durch eine dritte Violine und der Kontrabass durch ein zweites Cello ersetzt werden. Die Klavierstimme dient zur Unterstu tzung, fu gt aber zuweilen auch neue Motive hinzu.

Classical Highlights enthält Bearbeitungen von sechs klassischen Themen aus der Zeitspanne vom 17. bis zum 19. Jahrhundert. Die Stimmen wurden einfach und ansprechend gestaltet und sinddoch zugleich getreu dem Original. Die Ausgabe enthält ein Rigaudon von Henry Purcell, das berühmte Menuett aus der Feuerwerksmusik von Händel, ein Andante von Haydn (das Thema mit dem berühmten Paukenschlag), das Thema aus Beethovens Violinkonzert, Das große Tor von Kiew aus Bilder einer Ausstellung von Modest Mussorgsky und schließlich noch España von Waldteufel und Chabrier.

With this lively suite, the Hungarian music -teacher and pupil of Kodaly created a very in-s-tructive piece. Since all parts have independ-ent melodic tasks and are very often opposed to each other one by one or in pairs, the suite is particularly suitable for the work with the individual string parts and for the training of the ensemble playing.

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 Townsend.

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.

Characte r was composed to introduce young string players to contemporary harmonic techniques while still being within the technical limitations of the developing student. Quartal and quintal harmonies open the composition with a fanfare gesture that ties the piece together. This is followed by an ostinato in the first violins that contains a tricky figuration between G and A that will work the pinky finger on the D-string. Players who are not capable of maneuvering their pinky at this brisk tempo should play the lower part. The main theme is given to the inner voice for a change! After the main theme there is a development section that combines fragments of the fanfare material with fragments of the main theme. A grand pause and then a stronger statement of the main theme then follow this with the first violins up an octave. The piece is then completed with a short coda containing fragments of the ostinato and fanfare material. It feels natural for the tempo to speed up slightly at this point in the piece. As with all of my pieces at this level, the tempo is merely a suggestion and should be adjusted slower or faster to fit the needs of your students and the performance situation. It has been my pleasure to have the opportunity to write this piece. I hope you and your students enjoy it and find it useful for your program. -Larry Clark New York, NY 2003.
