The energetic activities of three craftsmen at a local crafts market inspired the composer Christian Bouthier to write this work in three movements. The clockmaker gets many curious visitors at his stand. He patiently and proudly shows the precision work of his beautiful clocks and lets all of them tick - the small ones and large ones. The cooper (barrel-maker) skillfully puts together fine-looking, sturdy barrels of the best types of wood. From afar, you can hear the cooper hammering. In the final movement things are hectic at the blacksmith because the local horse-riding society has just arrived. Many horses are provided with new shoes. The experienced blacksmith hits thehorseshoes into the proper shape on his anvil; now the horses can spiritedly trot and gallop on the way back. A fascinating new addition to the concert band repertoire. De energieke werkzaamheden van drie ambachtslieden op een plaatselijke ambachtsmarkt inspireerden de Belgische componist Christian Bouthier tot het schrijven van The Craftsmen, een compositie in drie delen. De klokkenmaker,de kuiper (tonnenmaker) en de hoefsmid worden achtereenvolgens op ludieke wijze in de muziek weergegeven.Zu The Craftsmen - ‘Die Handwerker’ - ließ sich Christian Bouthier beim Bummel über einen Markt inspirieren, wo alte Handwerkskünste vorgeführt wurden. In den drei Sätzen seiner Komposition werden sehr anschaulich die Klangeindrücke in Musik umgesetzt: das Ticken nostalgischer Uhren beim Uhrmacher, das Hämmern des Böttchers beim Bau von Holzfässern und schließlich das Schlagen der Hufeisen, bevor der Hufschmied die Pferde beschlägt. Ein Werk der Reihe Flexible 5 für eine fünfstimmig variable Besetzung, an dem Musiker und Publikum ihre Freude haben werden!Séduit par l’authenticité et le charme d’un marché artisanal, Christian Bouthier s’est inspiré du savoir-faire de trois artisans pour composer cette suite en trois mouvements. l’ombre des platanes, ils font et refont devant un public nombreux et passionné, ces gestes ancestraux qui donnent naissance tant de belles choses. Découvrez les traditions perpétuées par l’artisan horloger, le tonnelier et le maréchal-ferrant. Affascinato dall’originalit e dallo charme di un mercato di artigiani, per comporre questa suite in tre movimenti, Christian Bouthier si è ispirato al “savoir-faire†di tre artigiani. All’ombra dei platani, dinnanzi ad un pubblico numeroso ed appassionato, gli artigiani eseguono e ripetono gesti ancestrali che danno vita a oggetti unici. Scoprite le tradizioni attraverso un orologiaio, un bottaio e un fabbro.

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.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.

This piece, arranged by Dorothy Straub, celebrates the excitement of a very short horse race. Using songs that are sung before each of the three races---songs of Kentucky, Maryland, and New York---the orchestra takes on the role of the winning horse, with the accelerando being the final race to the finish line. Though timely now that the amazing horse, American Pharaoh, won the Triple Crown in June of 2015, this piece was written prior to that event to celebrate all the horses that compete. (6:30).

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.The musical effect ofA Prarie LullabyA should be graceful and serene, evocative of a peaceful night on the open plains.
