Grasshopper
s was written in 1956
during MamlokÂ’s
studies at the Manhattan
School. She balances a
variety of moods,
textures and tempi in six
brief movemenm of a
divertimento-like
character that are
thematically unified by
the use of melodic
fourths and scurrying
chromatic figures. The
second movement, Night
Serenade, is a poignant
siciliano, the fourth
movement a bitonal
Minuet, while the fifth
movement, In the Army, is
a humorous march. The
third movement, In the
Rain, is the most
virtuosic of the set.
Grasshoppers concludes
with Hurrying Home, a
rapid, often bitonal
waltz. Marnlok
orchestrared Grasshoppers
in 1957. lts 1958
orchestral premiere, by
Carl Bamberger and the
Süddeutsches
Rundfunkorchester, was
one of the first
important performances of
her music. (Barry
Wiener).
