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
roadrunner. When

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

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.

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

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

William Shakespeare. The
piece is dedicated to
Helen Borgers, who

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.
