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.

Like the Eagle, We Soar and Rise was commissioned by Yuying Secondary School Concert Band and Yuying Alumni Association for the 2010 centenary of the school’s foundation. The piece was named by a friend of the composer named Steven Phua, who originally suggested commissioning a new piece to Satoshi Yagisawa. The piece furthermore takes its name from the text of the Yuying Secondary School song.This composition is based on three different concepts: the first one demonstrates ‘The founders’ passion for education’; the second concept illustrates ‘Hardship in war time’; the third one ‘To the future’ describes the inner strength people find to overcome struggles. Thispiece concludes with a fanfare, which is the sound of hope that leads to a brighter future in a positive direction.The world premiere of this piece was conducted by Faizal Bin Othman, who is one of the leading educators in Singapore, and was performed by the Yuying Secondary School Concert Band. Like the Eagle, We Soar and Rise is geschreven in opdracht van de Yuying Secondary School Concert Band en de Yuying Alumni Association, ter gelegenheid van het honderdjarig bestaan van de school in 2010. Het werk kreeg zijnnaam van een vriend van de componist, Steven Phua, van wie in eerste instantie het voorstel kwam een nieuw werk bij Satoshi Yagisawa in opdracht te geven. De titel is gebaseerd op de tekst van het schoollied van de Yuying SecondarySchool. De compositie is gestoeld op drie verschillende gegevens: het eerste weerspiegelt de liefde voor onderwijs van de oprichters destijds, het tweede behelst de ontberingen in oorlogstijd, en het derde betreft de kijk op detoekomst -waarbij de innerlijke kracht van mensen helpt moeilijkheden te overwinnen. Het werk eindigt met een fanfare: de klank van hoop die vol optimisme een betere toekomst verkondigt. De wereldpremière werd uitgevoerd door de YuyingSecondary School Concert Band, onder leiding van Faizal Bin Othman, een van de meest gerenommeerde muziekpedagogen in Singapore.Like the Eagle, We Soar and Rise war ein Kompositionsauftrag des Blasorchesters der Yuying Secondary School und des Yuying-Alumni-Verbandes (Singapur). Anlass des Auftrags war das hundertjährige Jubiläum der Schulgründung im Jahr 2010. Der Werktitel stammt von einem Freund des Komponisten namens Steven Phua, der auch die Idee hatte, ein neues Stück von Satoshi Yagiswa schreiben zu lassen. Außerdem bezieht sich der Titel auf den Text des Schulliedes.Dieses Werk basiert auf drei unterschiedlichen Konzepten: Das erste spiegelt die Leidenschaft der Gründer für das Lehren wider; das zweite Konzept beschreibt die Not in Kriegszeiten; das dritte Konzept mit dem TitelTo the Future“ (zur Zukunft hingewandt) handelt von der inneren Stärke, die Menschen entwickeln, um Schwierigkeiten zu überwinden. Das Werk endet mit einer Fanfare, die der Hoffnung auf eine bessere Zukunft Klang verleiht.Die Weltpremiere von Like the Eagle, We Soar and Rise wurde von Faizal Bin Othman, einem der führenden Lehrbeauftragten von Singapur, dirigiert. Es spielte das Blasorchester der Yuying Secondary School. Like the Eagle, We Soar and Rise (Comme l’aigle, nous prenons notre essor) est une commande de l’Orchestre vent du collège de Yuying et de l’Association des anciens élèves de Yuying pour marquer le bicentenaire de la fondation du collège. Son titre lui a été donné par un ami du compositeur, Steven Phua, qui avait suggéré la commande d’une nouvelle composition Satoshi Yagisawa. Le titre lui-même est tiré du texte d’une chanson du collège de Yuying.Cette composition s’articule autour de trois concepts : le premier exprime ‘‘La passion des fondateurs pour l’éducation’’ ; le deuxième illustre ‘‘Les privations en temps de guerre’’ ; le troisième concept, ‘‘Versl’avenir’’, évoque la force intérieure que l’on trouve en soi pour surmonter les obstacles. La pièce s’achève par une fanfare, représentation sonore de l’espoir qui mène vers un avenir prometteur. La création mondiale de l’oeuvre fut donnée par l’Orchestre vent du collège de Yuying sous la direction de Faizal Bin Othman, éminent professeur de musique de Singapour. La movimentata storia di un istituto scolastico in occasione dei festeggiamenti per il suo centenario, ha spinto Satoshi Yagisawa a comporre questo brano basandosi su tre idee ben distinte: la passione per lo studio, la sofferenza durante i periodi di guerra e la speranza in un futuro migliore, simboleggiato dalla fanfara finale.
