In the dim moonlight on a night long past a rider emerges from the fog and slowly dares to cross a mysterious and unsettling bridge. The trembling rider hesitates, unsure whether he is more nervous about the legend of the headless horseman or the creaking and shifting he feels under his own horse's hooves. Haunted Bridges is a work for string orchestra inspired by Washington Irving's Ichabod Crane and his ill-fated ride in Sleepy Hollow. The piece contains allusions to the tune London Bridge is Falling Down, first as a creeping counter-melody and later as a theme in a twisted 3/4 section whose shifting harmonic progression draws to mind the fall of the fabled bridge. Haunted Bridges contains alternating F/C-sharps and -naturals throughout and devilishly unpredictable harmonic patterns. The piece also calls for numerous extended techniques that students will enjoy, including playing behind the bridge, sul ponticello, portamento, and seagull glissandi. Special techniques: Haunted Bridges calls for a handful of extended techniques, most of which are self explanatory or commonly known. The technique appearing in the Violin II part from measures 58-72 may require some additional explanation. This figure is sometimes referred to as seagull glissando and is achieved by lightly touching the finger to the string and gliding up and down the string, producing many transient natural harmonics as the finger crosses the nodes of the string. It is suggested to start with the 3rd finger on the A string and slowly glissando up beyond the natural A harmonic, then slowly back down, continuing in this pattern until measure 73. It is also intended for each player to vary their speed slightly so that the timing of the glissandi are all a little different, resulting in a shimmering, aleatoric effect.

PROGR AM NOTES: In December of 2019, when I started working on this piece, Boeing conducted the first orbital test flight of its CST-100 Starliner capsule. This event was important because, since the retiring of the space shuttle program in 2011, NASA had no other way to deliver astronauts into orbit, except through Russia. Boeing is one of two companies working to get American astronauts into space on American capsules. This was of special interest to me, not only because I am a space enthusiast, but because my own cousin worked on the Starliner's systems. PERFORMANCE NOTES: The main theme should be pleasant and legato, almost as if gliding. The second theme should be noble, as if heading where no one has gone previously. When the two themes come together, the contrast between them should not be stark as they were always intended to be played as one. Additionally, in mm. 9-26 of the Percussion 2 part, the bell of the cymbal is to be struck with a snare stick.
