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. Summer

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

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.

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

Arches
em> is a piece for the
developing string
orchestra that derives
its title from the
national park in Utah. I
visited the Arches
National Monument in June
of 2003 during a
cross-country trip. The
Delicate Arch is the
recognizable landmark
from this beautiful
national park. In order
to see this remarkable
natural formation up
close, you have to hike a
trail of over two miles.
The music in this piece
is inspired by my journey
to see the arch. Once
there, you are treated to
a vast panoramic view of
the golden Utah landscape
that leaves one
breathless.
Arches is an
effective piece in
teaching
pizzicato
playing as a melodic
device. Most often,
pizzicato is
used as an effect or
punctuation mark to
larger melodic ideas.
There is a brief arco
section to provide
contrast and build up to
the dramatic return of
the main
pizzicato
melody. Each section in
the ensemble has a
statement of the melody.
It is important to think
linearly in addition to
vertically when playing
these pizzicato
lines. Forward motion is
of up-most importance in
terms of making musical
phrases out of these
pizzicato
lines. Arches

With this
arrangement, my goal is
to maintain the integrity
of the original work,
while making it
accessible to the younger
orchestra. An important
aspect of the successful
performance of this piece
is maintaining an
energetic tempo. The
repeated eighth notes in
the accompaniment should
be played cleanly and
crisply to maintain
momentum. There are many
places where abrupt
changes in dynamics
occur. For example, m. 1
begins with a string
unison forte,
which suddenly drops to
piano at m. 11.
Accents, staccatos, and

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.

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.

Tchaikovsky
spent the summer and
autumn of 1880 at his
sisterÂs country
estate in KamÂianka,
Ukraine, where he sought
peace and relaxation. But
after a short time the
desire to work took hold
of him again. âI'm
sketching a symphony or
string quintet just now;
I don't know where it's
going yet,â he wrote
to his friend and
patroness Nadezhda von
Meck. In the end it
turned out to be a
Serenade for String
Orchestra, which numbers
among his most beautiful
inspirations and is today
a central work in the
genre. The four movements
captivate with their
diverse moods â be
it the Mozartian first
movement âin the
form of a sonatinaâ,
the elegant Waltz, the
melancholy
âElegiaâ or the
rousing Finale. For this
new source-critical
edition it was possible
to consult the autograph
in Moscow as well as the
early printed editions
into which Tchaikovsky
sometimes entered a
number of minor
revisions. Clear the

indispensable work of the

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

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

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
patterns 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
13 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.
