Featuring 43 Fiddlers and 188 of Their Tunes. 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.

A note from the composer: What to include in a competition piece in 2011? One could write a virtuoso étude or a lyrical essay: but the judges will have dozens of pieces that demonstrate these virtues. I thought amore interesting piece would test a performer’s imagination intelligence and musicality by offering interesting new problems to solve. Hence this unaccompanied six-minute study I call Stomp. Stomp poses its player three problems; of ear style and coördination. First the violin’s outer two strings are tuned to non-standard pitches. This mis-tuning (scordatura) deepens theinstrument’s range and replaces the usual perfect fifths between strings with grating dissonances high and low. Second the piece is modeled not on classical precedents but on American fiddle music — bluegrass andjazz. And third as in fiddle playing the violinist must periodically stomp with his or her foot along with the music. So Stomp demands a theatrical mind an unerring ear and a delight in makingmusic with the entire body. It is supposed to be fun for the audience and a workout for the soloists. I can’t wait to hear them play it.
