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.

This is a fascinating and important book for everybody even remotely interested in the history of American bands. Bryan Proksch has done some painstakingly thorough research in putting together an amazing assemblage of documents… This is a must-have book! —Jon Ceander Mitchell   The Wind Music Research Quarterly: Mitteilungsblatt der IGEB   (March 2022), 14–15 For the scholar, each entry presents an opportunity for expansion. For the teacher, this work provides source readings for courses on wind band history or for complementing Strunk or Weiss-Taruskin in university music history courses. That said, these documents stand as an enriching and entertaining read in their own right for anyone interested in the subject. —Michael O’Connor   Historic Brass Today 1/2 (Spring 2022), 32 The Golden Age of American Bands is ideally suited for courses on the history and literature of bands in America. Indeed, this volume could suffice as a textbook for adventuresome teachers in that it touches on the major musicians, instruments, ensembles, and functions expected of such a course. . . . Both private and classroom band instructors will find compelling glimpses into the history of their craft. [It is] bursting with opportunities to inspire curiosity in their students while effectively supporting their own curricular goals. —Benjamin D. Lawson and James A. Davis   The Journal of Music History Pedagogy Proksch’s new collection of documents is a most welcome step in the direction of getting [the story of bands] under control. The juxtaposition of documents from so many levels and types of ensembles proves to have a cumulative effect: one begins to see the subtle and long-lasting connections among them despite the big differences. It is easy to envision it as a supplemental text in a course on band history and literature, but the book is also just an absorbing read. There is much to learn here, and much to enjoy. —Ken Kreitner   Notes 79/2 (December 2022): 217-218 This is the story of the American wind band, told chronologically by those who experienced it in real time from 1835 to 1935. How did bands become bands? How did they rise in popularity? Which figures had insights and specific impacts on the development of the genre? Through source documents and articles, Bryan Proksch takes us on an extraordinary journey from the time of the first brass bands in the 1830s, through the Civil War and the golden ages of Gilmore and Sousa, to the cusp of the wind ensemble just before World War II. Hear from a young Frederick Fennell about his efforts to create the first band at Eastman. Read the outline of Allessandro Liberati’s unpublished trumpet method book. Eavesdrop on Karl L. King as he muses on the fate of bands after the death of Sousa. See Patrick Conway’s first undergraduate music education curriculum. Gawk as trombonist Fredrick Neil Innes embarrasses “world’s greatest cornetist†Jules Levy at Coney Island. Explore as Alan Dodworth revolutionizes bands. Retreat with a military band in the middle of a Civil War battle. Find out what it felt like to sit in a Sousa Band rehearsal. Ask Herbert L. Clarke why he thinks you should be playing a cornet instead of a trumpet. Find out how P. S. Gilmore managed to pull off the biggest concert events in American history. The book includes numerous rare and unknown illustrations to show you the places where band history happened. The documents include rare periodical excerpts, handwritten letters, and other writings taken from archives throughout the United States. These first-person accounts are certain to further refine and deepen our understanding and appreciation of American band history on a grand scale.

This new book from De Haske helps fill the need for melodic unaccompanied solos for the tuba. It contains 16 wonderful concert studies that develop sound and technique while providing a rich environment for the study of style. The accompanying demo CD, performed by Patrick Sheridan, gives you an idea of how it should be done. This book is a must for all developing tuba players. Eindelijk is er een studieboek met muziek in een verscheidenheid van stijlen - speciaal geschreven voor tubaspelers door moderne componisten, onder wie André Waignein, Thomas Doss, Ferrer Ferran, Philip Sparke en Roland Kernen. Dezeconcertetudes zijn bedoeld voor het ontwikkelen van de klank en techniek, met oog voor de kwaliteit van de muzikale inhoud binnen een scala van stijlen.De wereldberoemde tubasolist Patrick Sheridan heeft de stukken op de bijgevoegdecd voorgespeeld.Nun gibt es endlich ein Buch voll Konzertetüden mit Musik in einer Vielzahl von Stilen, von modernen Komponisten speziell für die Tuba geschrieben! Dieses Buch enthält sechzehn groÃ?artige Konzertetüden zur Entwicklung von Ton und Technik und ist darüber hinaus reich an Material für Stilstudien. Auf der Demo-CD ist eine Interpretation der Studien von Patrick Sheridan zu hören. Die Bass-Stimme in B wurde in der für das Instrument optimalen Transposition geschrieben. Das bedeutet jedoch, dass die CD nur als Hörbeispiel verwendet werden kann, Mittspielen zur CD ist nicht möglich.Pendant longtemps, les tubistes nâ??ont eu quâ??un choix limité de recueils dâ??études leur permettant de travailler le son et la technique. Certes, les précédents recueils constituent un excellent moyen de développer ces deux éléments, mais la qualité du contenu musical de certaines études fait défaut et ce quel que soit le style et en dépit de lâ??intérêt quâ??elles présentent en tant quâ??approche des différentes tonalités et intervalles spécifiques. Câ??est donc avec joie que nous accueillons enfin un recueil dâ??études de concert de styles variés, écrites spécialement pour le tuba par de talentueux compositeurs dâ??aujourdâ??hui.Approfondite le tecniche più avanzate richeste ai suonatori di tuba per essere dei veri solisti all'interno di un gruppo da camera come di una grande orchestra. Intervalli, intonazione e fraseggio sono gli elementi più ricorrenti nelle pagine di questa raccolta di studi. Il CD propone la demo di ogni brano.

This unique collection celebrates the contemporary fiddle music of northeast Ireland, much of it for the first time in print. Not surprisingly, given its location and long history of traditional music, the fiddle music of this region shares some characteristics with Scottish music, yet it has its own distinct style. For those who are not familiar with this ruggedly attractive part of Ireland, this book will introduce you to some of its music and musicians. The tunes presented here, collected by County Antrim fiddler, Rowan Leslie, have all been written relatively recently by local musicians. Each tune is offered in two versions?one with the barebones melody and suggested accompaniment chords, and a second with ornamentation, articulation and bowing details. All tune types from northeast Ireland are represented, including jigs and reels, polkas and hornpipes, marches, barn dances and waltzes, plus set dances and slow airs. Moreover, the biographical sketches and backstories provided for each composer and tune demonstrate how the land itself, along with personal experiences and relationships, influence the fiddle music of northeast Ireland.
