On the Waterfront: Symphonic Suite Bernstein 2 On the Waterfront: Symphonic Suite

Learning Objectives To complete our notes on instrumentation To study the texture and structure of the extract

Are any of these used in other pieces we have studied? Instrumentation con sordini (bar 8) lontano (bar 14) subtone (bar 17) hard sticks (bar 20) una corda (bar 20) Timp. glissando! (bar 30) S.D. rim shot (bar 53) flutt. (bar 105) sul ponticello (bar 108) Mute “Distant” Breathy and very quiet As opposed to soft timp mallets Piano soft pedal (one string) Pedal glissando Snare Drum rim shot Flutter tonguing Bow close to the bridge Are any of these used in other pieces we have studied?

Instrumentation Bernstein uses the orchestra like a huge jazz band: Sax solo (where?) Strings have hardly any independent writing Piano writing is very low and percussive Big percussion section

Texture Find examples of: Compare: Monophonic texture Two-part counterpoint Homorhythm Compare: Timp. 1 bar 20 Timp. 2 bar 26 Perc. Bar 32 Does this remind you of anything? Can you describe the relationship of the flute and trombone parts in bars 7-11? What extra layer is added to the texture in bar 14? What do you notice about the timpani parts from bars 52-61? What else is going on in the texture here?

Texture 2 Find some more examples of pedal Piano 20-39 bottom A (bottom note of the piano!) Ob/Cl/Tpt/Vln 98-105 – what notes? Inverted pedal Describe the texture from 108-end

Structure Questions What tune is the canon based on in bar 7? Where does the trumpet theme in bar 13 come from? Where does the percussion riff in bar 40 come from? What about the timp/strings riff in bar 54? Where have we heard the bar 54 tune before? Where does the 3-note motif in bars 62, 64 etc. come from? Where have we heard the theme at bar 78 before? Do we hear it again? What about the violin parts in bars 88, 91, etc.?

Structure Section Bars Description Andante 1-6 Horn solo 7-12 Theme repeated in canon 13-19 Theme from bar 4 in trumpets with F pedal Presto barbaro 20-39 Percussion fugal section 40-53 Sax solo over 2-bar percussion riff 54-62 WW & tpts play sax theme over timp & string riff based on bar 24-25 62-77 Quieter section based on bar 52 motif, crescendo 78-87 Homorhythmic tutti based on fugue theme 88-105 Suddenly quiet, based on 2-note minor 2nd from bar 42 over snare riff Adagio 106-113 Slow coda based on bar 52 motif over long dissonant string chords

Plenary How many different themes is the extract based on? Where is each theme first heard?
