Filled with the elements of Coplanesque Americana, this work will be one of your students’ favorite pieces to play. With its lilting melody, light syncopation, and accessible harmony, Pepper Tree Lane will be a great addition to any young string orchestra.
With its Americana harmony and country-flavored melodies, Pepper Tree Lane is a refreshing musical experience for the young musician and audience member alike.The AAB form begins with quiet, warm chord voicings in the upper strings and a pizzicato bass line. The lyrical 'A' melody at m. 13 in violin I has a singing quality over a harmonic bed until the melody moves to violin II in m. 17. Violin I then has a countermelody until it plays the main melody at the end of m.20.The 'B' section beginning in m. 25 is played with energy and has a sense of forward motion until it quiets down at m.31. The interlude at m.33 is played at piano, providing a short repose before returning to the 'A' material at m. 37 where the cello takes the melody.Measure 53 is the most intense part of the piece with accented patterns in the violins and viola, and shifting tonal centers in the cello and bass. Rhythmic clarity and nice full tone will provide an exciting and satisfying close.
