Appalachian fiddle music, based on the musical traditions of the people who settled in the mountainous regions of the southeastern United States, is widely-known and played throughout North America and parts of Europe because of its complex rhythms, its catchy melodies, and its often-ancient-sounding stylistic qualities. The authors explore the lives and music of 43 of the classic Appalachian fiddlers who were active during the first half of the 20th century. Some of them were recorded commercially in the 1920s, such as Gid Tanner, Fiddlin? John Carson, and Charlie Bowman. Some were recorded by folklorists from the Library of Congress, such as William Stepp, Emmett Lundy, and Marion Reece. Others were recorded informally by family members and visitors, such as John Salyer, Emma Lee Dickerson, and Manco Sneed. All of them played throughout most of their lives and influenced the growth and stylistic elements of fiddle music in their regions. Each fiddler has been given a chapter with a biography, several tune transcriptions, and tune histories. To show the richness of the music, the authors make a special effort to show the musical elements in detail, but also acknowledge that nothing can take the place of listening. Many of the classic recordings used in this book can be found on the web, allowing you to hear and read the music together.

Recorder specialist Marcia Diehl presents 41 favorite melodies from the Renaissance and early Baroque periods, each with suggested accompaniment chords. This era of music is particularly attractive on the recorder not only because of its lyrical qualities but also because the recorder was already one of the most popular, accessible instruments of the day.The collection features many dance tunes by Praetorius, Susato, Gervaise and John Playford plus familiar themes like ??Greensleeves,? ??Drive the Cold Winter Away,? and Thomas Morley??s ??It Was a Lover and His Lass,? which may have been used contemporarily onstage with William Shakespeare??s As You Like It. The book closes with two pieces by Beatrice de Dia, a trobairitz or female troubadour who wrote songs of courtly love.

Let Me Weep (‘Lascia ch’io pianga’) is an aria from Handel’s opera ‘Rinaldo’. According to reports he composed the music for the complete opera in just 14 days, using many melodies from earlier works. The melody of this wonderful aria is known all over the world and this arrangement by Jacob de Haan retains all the passion of the original. Lascia ch’io pianga (Let Me Weep) is een aria uit de opera Rinaldo. Aaron Hill schreef het scenario, waarna Giacomo Rossi de poëtische teksten schreef. Georg Friedrich Händel voorzag deze later van muziek. Hij zou demuziek in veertien dagen hebben gecomponeerd en veel melodieën uit eerdere werken hebben gebruikt. In 1711 werd Rinaldo voor het eerst uitgevoerd. De melodie van deze prachtige aria is wereldwijd bekend en komt uitstekendtot haar recht in dit arrangement van Jacob de Haan.Let Me Weep - im Original Laschia ch’io pianga - stammt aus der Oper Rinaldo, deren Musik Georg Friedrich Händel angeblich in weniger als vierzehn Tagen geschrieben hat! Er verwendete für diese märchenhafte Oper viele Melodien aus älteren Werken. Die Melodie dieser prächtigen Arie ist weltweit bekannt und beliebt - so ist mit Jacob de Haans hervorragender Bearbeitung für Brass Band ein Publikumserfolg garantiert! Lascia ch’io pianga est un air extrait de Rinaldo, premier opéra londonien de Georg Friedrich Haendel sur un livret de Giacomo Rossi d’après un scénario d’Aaron Hill. Quinze jours de travail suffirent Haendel pour achever la partition. Le résultat est en réalité une vaste adaptation de plusieurs œuvres antérieures. Rinaldo a été créé Londres en 1711. Les décors féeriques et chevaleresques étaient éblouissants pour l’époque, et c’est sans doute pour cela que l’œuvre fut plébiscitée par le public.Dans le merveilleux jardin du palais enchanté d’Armide (l’alliée d’Argante, le rival de Rinaldo), Almirène (la promise de Rinaldo) pleure sa captivité dansson air Lascia ch’io pianga, l’un des plus beaux qu’Haendel ait écrits. Cette sublime mélodie, célèbre dans le monde entier, a été arrangée avec finesse et justesse par Jacob de Haan.

Festival March is presented in a new edition arranged by Richard Summers. It is a tour de force composition for advanced bands and hearkens back to a bygone era during the golden age of the band movement. Directors and students will hear operatic music from composer Victor Herbert who is best known for his Christmas classic, Toyland. This is a richly scored masterpiece that deserves to return to standard status in concert band repertoire. We are proud to bring you this new setting of this cherished classic.Festival March by Victor Herbert was written for the Pittsburgh Symphony and first performed under Herbert’s direction in Chicago on Dec. 9, 1901 celebrating the 12th anniversary of Chicago’s Auditorium Theatre. Also known as the Auditorium Festival March, he included it many times for programs of a festival nature. The main theme Auld Lang Syne, a famous Scottish folk song, is incorporated many times along with brass fanfares, interludes and march melodies. This band arrangement is very similar to the original orchestral composition. The missing string parts, the addition of the saxophone section and other band instruments, editing of the superimposed triplets against sixteenth notes, to one or the other, and articulations suitable for the band, were major challenges. The style of early twentieth-century American music is captured here. This arrangement will give band musicians access to a fine piece of music that could only be appreciated by orchestra musicians up to now. Although suitable for many occasions, this piece is a great way to begin or end a December holiday concert. Notes to the ConductorVictor Herbert’s music can be interpreted in a romantic style, which is the conductor’s responsibility to read in nuance and musicality. The beginning and other triple-tonguing sections of this piece have a March of the Toys quality to it. The interludes and Auld Lang Syne sections are legato and musical. The March sections can also be shaped musically.About the ComposerVictor Herbert was born in Ireland in 1861 and raised in Germany. When he moved to America in 1886, he joined the Metropolitan Opera as principal cellist and eventually composed many works including forty-three operettas on Broadway from the 1890s to World War I, including Naughty Marietta and Babes in Toyland. Victor Herbert conducted the Pittsburgh Symphony from 1898 to 1904 and then was the conductor of his own Victor Herbert Orchestra. He formed ASCAP with a group of composers in 1914 and was the director until his death in 1924. Among his thirty-one compositions for orchestra, Festival March was a favorite of his and was eventually published by Carl Fischer Music. .
