Keane Southard
Berceuse for
String Orchestra
(2017) (Duration: c. 4 mins.)
Program notes: Berceuse for String Orchestra was created in late 2017. It is an arrangement of my Prelude No. 14 (Berceuse) for piano and is a lullaby featuring a gentle “rocking� of parallel 4ths and 5ths. Keane Southard 2017
Performance instructions: 1. Double Basses that do not have the low C extension should automatically play notes that are out of their range an octave higher than written, except when notes in parentheses are given. All basses without the low C extension should play all notes in parentheses while all basses with the extension play the non-parenthetical notes. 2. Tenuto marks (-) over notes indicate more weight/stress on the note and does not indicate space to be placed in between that note and the next (unless the tenuto is combined with a staccato).
