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.

“The idea behind this song is to remind everyone, for all those who have forgotten, how colourful and exciting Christmas was during their childhood. Christmas is a magical time and, after all, no matter how old we are, we are all still children at heart.” These words were written by Chris de Burgh about his 2009 hit, The Bells of Christmas, inspired by Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. Simon Fahnholz has now made an excellent version of this Christmas hit for concert band.

Voor iedereen die vergeten is hoe bont en levendig de kerst in zijn jeugdjaren was. Kerst is een betoverend feest. Diep in ons hart zijn we allemaal nog kinderen, ook al zijn we al lang volwassenen.” Dit zei Chris de Burgh over zijnkersthit van 2009 waarin hij zich liet inspireren door de prachtige kerstverhalen van Charles Dickens.

Die Idee dieses Songs ist, allen die vergessen haben, wie bunt und lebendig Weihnachten in ihrer Kinderzeit war, dies noch einmal vor Augen zu führen. Weihnachten ist ein Zauber und wir sind im tiefsten Herzen doch alle große Kinder, auch wenn wir längst erwachsen sind.“ Dies sind Chris De Burghs Worte über seinen Weihnachts-Hit von 2009, zu dem er sich von Charles’ Dickens Weihnachtsgeschichte inspirieren ließ.

« Le message de cette chanson, en fait, est de rappeler ceux qui l’aurait oublié, que Noël était, du temps de leur enfance, une fête chatoyante et vivante. Au plus profond de nous-même, et même si nous avons grandi et que nous soyons devenus des adultes, nous avons gardé notre coeur d’enfant, alors n’oublions pas que Noël est une fête magique. » Voici un aperçu des paroles de la célèbre ballade The Bells of Christmas (inspirée de l’illustre roman de Charles Dickens), chantée par Chris de Burgh en 2009.

“Il messaggio di questa canzone è di ricordare a coloro che l’avessero dimenticato, com’era il Natale quando erano bambini, una festa vivace e calda.

Ecco un estratto del testo della ballata The Bells of Christmas, divenuta un grande successo del Natale 2009 e cantata da Chris de Burgh che si era ispirato al celebre romanzo di Charles Dickens.
