Stories, sagas
and legends--who among us
doesn't know them? Always
delivered with a tinge of
brutality, these
cautionary tales are a
legacy of moral education
from times past:
inquisitive children
alone in the forest are
generally eaten by a
witch; the Soup-Kasper of
Hoffmann's Struwwelpeter
dies from starvation
rather than eating his
soup; anyone letting in
strangers usually gets
devoured; anyone who
plays with matches gets
burned; and thumb-suckers
get their thumbs cut off.
The list of unfortunate
demises is almost
endless.In the tale of
The Pied Piper of
Hamelin, parents lose
their children through
greed, ridicule, scorn
and a failure to
appreciate art. There is
still a street in the
town of Hamelin in which
neither drumming nor
playing has not been
allowed since 130
children disappeared into
a mountain, never to be
seen again. This
composition by Otto M.
Schwarz opens with
exactly this scene,
taking us back to the
year 1284. As in many
towns at the time,
Hamelin in Germany
suffered with hygiene
problems--rats and mice
began to multiply
rapidly, and the town was
overrun with the plague.
There appeared a man
dressed in colorful
clothes who promised the
locals to free them from
this burden. They agreed
and settled on a fee.
Then the man pulled out a
pipe and began to play.
When the rats and mice
heard this, they followed
him. He led the animals
into the Weser River,
where they all drowned.
Back in town, the people
refused to pay him. They
didn't recognize this
man's skills and
knowledge and were only
prepared to pay for
simple labour. A pact
with the devil was made,
which led to the Pied
Piper leaving the town in
a furious rage. One
Sunday, when many people
were at church, he
returned, took out his
flute and began to play.
The town's children were
so enchanted by his
playing that they
followed him. He led them
out of the town and
disappeared with them
forever into a mountain.
Of all the children, only
two survived--however one
was mute, and one was
blind. In the street from
which the children left
Hamelin, music may no
longer be played in
memory of this event.

The
Stranger is titled after
the novel of the same
name by the French
existentialist
philosopher and writer
Albert Camus. The piece
seems to capture some of
the general mood of the
story, with its
underlying feeling of
melancholy and sense of
inevitability. Since the
music is written in an
even eighth-note style,
with either a
contemporary classical or
a Latin rhythmic feeling,
the string section is not
required to phrase in a
jazz or swing style. The
use of light percussion
rather than a drumset
makes the arrangement
ideal for acoustic
performance without
amplification.

13
specially commissioned
pieces which aim to
breathe new life into a
largely neglected
component of the GCSE/Key
Stage 4 Music syllabus,
Ensemble Performance. On
Track comes complete with
a CD-Rom containing all
the parts for all the
pieces and transpositions
for any instrument, and
these parts come with a
licence for printing as
many copies as needed,
directly from the CD-Rom.
A separate 'audio' CD
also contains recordings
of every piece. The book
contains scores for each
piece and extended notes
by the composers to aid
in the preparation of the
music: there are 5 pieces
for fixed ensembles and 8
pieces for flexible
ensembles. The editor of
the compilation, Sadie
Harrison, comments:
Playing in an ensemble
with one's peers is
perhaps the most
rewarding and satisfying
thing to do as a young
performer, and it is
crucial to nurture this
element of GCSE courses
to reflect this. On Track
is a fantastic collection
of many different styles,
approaches and sounds.
There is something in
here for everybody, at
whatever level, and on
whatever instrument. This
is what GCSE Music
teachers are crying out
for, and finally here is
something that really
hits the mark. Harrison's
comments are echoed by
recent examiners' reports
from EdExcel, one of the
largest examiners of GCSE
music. They describe how
the music they heard in
examinations demonstrated
'an extreme range of
standards and revealed
evidence of the very wide
range of instruments in
use'. The AQA (Assessment
and Qualification
Alliance) Examiners'
report in 2004 warns
schools against allowing
their students to present
solo music with a piano
accompaniment played by a
teacher or with a CD
accompaniment for the
ensemble performance
component. It continues,
saying that it is of
utmost importance that
the chosen ensemble
allows the candidate to
show rapport with the
other player(s). This is
a significant requirement
with which many
[examination] centres did
NOT comply. Fixed
