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
optional rest at mm.
53-54. Performance time
with the repeat is two
and a half
minutes.
