This rocking piece for beginning strings is based on the interval of a perfect fifth - thus the title! Beginning students can practice easy string crossings utilizing open strings, while the mostly unison rhythms consist of only quarter-and eighth-note durations. The stepwise finger patterns of the melody strengthen note-reading and intonation. With violin 2 doubling viola and cello doubling bass, each section of the orchestra is given the opportunity to play the melody. The provided piano part fills in during rests and can support students in maintaining a steady beat, particularly in pizzicato sections. An optional drum set part completes this upbeat first concert selection.This rocking piece for beginning strings is based on the interval of a perfect fifth – thus the title!

Waterways (Vandveje) - Three Pieces for Piano by Per Nørgård (2008-09).
Written for Anne Marie Fjord Abildskov.
Preface / Programme NoteThe three small piano pieces collectively called WATERWAYS was composed in 2008-2009 for Anne Marie Fjord Abildskov and they are dedicated to her.You will hear traces of earlier piano works of mine – GROOVING from 1968 and ACHILLEUS AND THE TORTOISE from 1983 – in these new pieces.
The first movement is characterized by echo-like sounds, which also appear in GROOVING. Semitones are overlayered and soundsimultaniously, and then they are muted one by one to give a reminiscence of the initial sound. In this new movement an extra echo is added, like an extra skim of the stoneacross the water surface – three skims, actually.
In the second movement you may hear traces of ACHILLEUS AND THE TORTOISE. The left and right hand both play arpeggio-like scale patterns. The music is shimmering, like a moiré on a water surface, with constantly changing, very short durations.In the third movement the pattern of irregular durations is maintained and expanded, but only in fragments – and you may catch a glimpse of a new melody emerging.
Per Nørgård
