Larry Clark
does it again with this
tuneful new feel good
piece. You and your
students will walk away
humming this tune. There
is even a nice
contrasting lyrical
middle section in the
relative minor to break
up the
piece. Solstice: one
of two times in the year
when the sun is at its
greatest distancefrom the
celestial equator.A
solstice happens at the
mid-point of summer,
about June 21, and the
midpoint of winter, about
December 22. Each of
those times of year is
delightful. The carefree
days of summer have just
begun around June 21,
when the mind wanders to
long bike rides or walks
on the beach. During the
winter solstice the mind
is filled with all of the
delights that the holiday
season has to offer.
Either way, a solstice is
a joyous and fun filled
time of year, and this
piece is intended to
bring to mind some of
these wonderful times.
The main theme should be
performed in a light
carefree manner, which is
then contrasted by the
more lyrical and
passionate middle
section.As with all of my
pieces for younger
students, the tempo
indicated is merely a
guide. Adjust the tempo
to fit the needs of your
students. 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.

The title
depicts the uplifting
nature of the piece that
inspires young players to
have confidence and
respect while living with
character and integrity.
The music is
characterized by strong
melodic intervals of
fourths and fifths and
dynamic contrasts, a
Larry Clark signature
that has made his music
so popular. In addition,
every player is an
important part of the
music. This is a perfect
showpiece for developing
groups for concerts or
festivals. As a former
teacher I always tried to
use the experience of
playing in an ensemble to
teach students about
being good people first b
having confidence, being
respectful, living with
character and integrity.
I choose to write music
with titles that will
stimulate students to
strive for this high
standard and I have tried
to write pieces that will
somehow musically depict
these values.
Integrity is one
such piece. I hope you
will find the main theme
to be uplifting and with
musical integrity, but
within the reach of
developing students. My
themes usually are
characterized by strong
melodic intervals of
fourths and fifths and
this piece is no
exception. It is also my
goal when writing music
for younger students to
provide every section in
the ensemble a chance to
play important melodic
material at some point in
the piece. In my humble
opinion, if students are
given music they like to
play they will want to
practice it over and over
again. The tempo markings
and bowings indicated are
only there as a guide and
should be adjusted to the
needs of your students.
It has been my pleasure
to have the opportunity
to write this piece. I
hope that you and your

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.

A solid
piece in a processional
style by noted composer
Joseph Compello, Horizons
is both melodic and
engaging. The work has a
strong lyrical line that
is beautifully blended
with an enchanting
pizzicato section. This
helps to augment the
driving pulse th. The
processional style
of Horizons will be
ideal for young string
ensembles which are
seeking a more serious
style of music but which
are not yet capable of
performing at a brisk
tempo. Older groups,
however, should not
perform this piece at a
fast pace, otherwise the
processional feel will be
lost.The articulation
throughout should
be marcato except
where otherwise marked. A
light staccato touch
is required in the
accompaniment beginning
at bar 11. Very young
ensembles always need
guidance in performing
accents and loud dynamics
tastefully.At m. 20, the
cellos have a
countermelody which is
separate from the bass
part. If the ensemble
does not have basses, the
part may be covered on
the piano. At m. 45, the
cellos have optional
notes to allow extra time
to prepare
for pizzicato.
Likewise at m. 53, cues
are included for violin
2, viola and cello to
allow time to prepare
for arco.The
effectiveness of the
final section beginning
at m. 71 should be played
as broadly as possible.
The 100 tempo is a
suggestion.Performance
time with the repeat is
just under three
minutes.Thank you for
choosing this
composition. I hope you
and your students enjoy
performing it.- Joseph

The musical
effect of Prarie
Lullaby should be
graceful and serene,
evocative of a peaceful
night on the open plains.
To that end, players will
need to strive for an
unlabored rhythmic flow,
smooth bowing and a
clear, steady tone as
close to p as
possible. Beginning at
m.39, the violin and
viola parts are marked
pizzicato. If
young players are unable
to return quickly to
argo at m.53,
they may make the bow
preparation easier by
taking a full measure
rest at m.52. This option
is marked in the parts
and score. The divisi
notes at m. 69 are
provided for ensembles
which lack violas.
Ensembles with violas may
have them play the lower
notes while the second
violins play the upper
notes. Percussion, which
is completely optional,
should be very subdued.
Choose a bell mallet
which allows the tones to
be heard just above the
strings. the woodblock
part is intended to
imitate the clip-clop
sound of a horse's
hooves. Two different
sizes of woodblocks or
temple blocks are needed.
Finding two suitable
sounds on one woodblock
is difficult. Again, the
right mallets are very
important. The suspended
cymbal should be played
with brushes if the
string ensemble is small.
If the suspended cymbal
with brushes cannot be
heard above a large
number of strings, then
sticks should be used
instead. The percussion
part can be performed by
one player, provided the
instruments and mallets
are set up properly and
the player has the skill
to make the transitions
smoothly. Note the

Ensembles with violas may
have them play the lower
notes while the second
violins play the upper
notes. Percussion, which
is completely optional,
should be very subdued.
Choose a bell mallet
which allows the tones to
be heard just above the
strings. the woodblock
part is intended to
imitate the clip-clop
sound of a horse's
hooves. Two different
sizes of woodblocks or
temple blocks are needed.
Finding two suitable
sounds on one woodblock
is difficult. Again, the
right mallets are very
important. The suspended
cymbal should be played
with brushes if the
string ensemble is small.
If the suspended cymbal
with brushes cannot be
heard above a large
number of strings, then
sticks should be used
instead. The percussion
part can be performed by
one player, provided the
instruments and mallets
are set up properly and
the player has the skill
to make the transitions
smoothly. Note the
optional rest at mm.
53-54. Performance time
with the repeat is two
and a half
minutes. The musical
effect of Prarie Lullaby
should be graceful and
serene, evocative of a
peaceful night on the
open plains. To that end,
players will need to
strive for an unlabored
rhythmic flow, smooth
bowing and a clear,
steady tone as close to p
as possible. Beginning at
m.39, the violin and
viola parts are marked
pizzicato. If young
players are unable to
return quickly to argo at
m.53, they may make the
bow preparation easier by
taking a full measure
rest at m.52. This option
is marked in the parts
and score. The divisi
notes at m. 69 are

This
outstanding original from
Larry Clark can be played
any time of year! A
vigorous theme moves
through all the sections
and violas combine with
second violins for
prominent solo passages.
A section in minor adds
to the drama as strong
rhythmic chords give way
to a subdued tremolo in
the first violins,
reminiscent of Vivaldi's
Winter This music reaches
a level of intensity your
players and audience will
love. Out of the
Winter is a musical
depiction of the many
moods of winter from its
harsh storms to its
simple beauty. The
composition is based on a
central main theme that
is musically developed
throughout the
composition presented in
and out of major and
minor keys.The main theme
begins right away without
introduction and is set
to depict the simple
delicate beauty of a
light falling snow. The
theme is then developed
in the minor key using
simple contrapuntal
techniques that give the
composition a fresh sound
for pieces at this grade
level. The aggressive
development of the piece
is a musical description
of a powerful winter
storm. The tension of
this section is built to
a climax using
simple divisi in the
strongs and some
poly-chordal harmonic
techniques that give way
to a final return of the
main theme to complete
the piece.Special care
should be given to
exaggerating the contrast
between the two diverse
sections of the piece.
The main theme should be
light and uplifting. The
second section with the
theme in minor should
have an ominous presence,
but still be reminiscent
of the original light
main theme. As with all
of my compositions at
this grade level, adjust
the tempo to fit the
ability level of your
students. It is hope that
this piece helps to
reinforce the concepts of
good musicianship which
you are trying to instill
in your students. Bowings
should be used as a guide
and should be adjusted to
your needs.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.

Titled by
the students of J. T.
Lambert Middle School in
East Stroudsburg, PA,
which commissioned the
original version for
band, this brilliant,
heavily accented piece
emphasizes rhythmic
alertness and attention
to dynamic contrasts.
Bold fanfare writing
alternates with lyrical
writing of considerable
warmth and the spiccato
style of playing is
introduced. The title
for Dance of the
Thunderbolts was
suggested by students at
J. T. Lambert Middle
School in East
Stroudsburg,
Pennsylvania. This piece
was originally
commissioned for the
sixth-grade band at the
school in 2003 and has
now been transcribed for
string orchestra. The
students specifically
asked for the piece to be
“a strong powerful
piece with lots of
accents and a strong
abrupt ending.†As
you can see and hear, the
piece contains many of
these aspects. After the
title was suggested I
came up with the
thunderbolt dance section
of the piece first stated
at m. 24. Later during
the compositional process
I decided to frame this
theme with a more lyrical
theme, but one that still
contains the sparkle of
the staccato ostinato
that is layered together
with the elongated theme.
Following the thunderbolt
dance at m.24 is a short
interlude to soften the
sound before a return of
the theme in fragments
traded between different
sections and in different
tessituras. The lyrical
theme returns and is
followed by “a
strong abrupt
ending†as
suggested by the
students. 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

The fast
paced rondo has a Dorian
flavored melody with
hints of quartel (based
on an interval of a
fourth) harmony to give
it a contemporary sound
The players are presented
with solo opportunities
as well as harmonic turns
and twists that will keep
them. Rondo in the
Nick of Time was
originally the third
movement for a woodwind
quintet piece that I
wrote in 1990. I have
always been fond of this
little piece and felt
that it would adapt well
to larger ensembles. I
have also scored this
piece for band as part of
a suite called Upon a
New Horizon.The main
theme is based on the
Dorian Mode. The use of
quartal harmony makes up
most of the harmonic
material. Each statement
of the theme is followed
by an episode that
increases in length each
time. There is a sudden
change of style and tempo
in the middle of the
piece, where fragments of
the theme are developed.
The title is a
play-on-words, since the
work contains hemiola
effects that alter the
feel of the time.As with
all of my pieces for
strings, the bowings are
given only as a
reference. Feel free to
alter them to fit the
needs of your students. I
have indicated a rather
fast tempo for the piece.
I really like the piece
to fly, but it will work
and sound fine at a
slower tempo as well.
Just endeavor to keep
their energy moving
forward.It has been my
pleasure to have the
opportunity to write this
piece. I hope that you
and your students enjoy
it and find it useful in
your program.-Larry

This
bright change-of-pace
work evokes the
toe-tappin' sounds of the
old west as settlers
circle the wagons round
for a Saturday night
hoedown. Featuring
athletic, yet very
playable fiddle-style
tunes that wander
throughout the ensemble,
the music also uses
simple double-stops and
contrasting rhythms that
keep things moving along.
You might just inspire a

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

Add a
unique programming twist
with this fantastic piece
that blends humor with
darkness. The spooky
opening uses playable
chromatics to set the
stage for the thing,
which comes across as
potentially scary, yet
clumsy and whimsical all
at the same time. If you
are looking for something
fun and completely
different, you just found
it!
