Thomas Jefferson's Fiddle Tunes is inspired by Thomas and Martha Jefferson's musical evenings after dinner at Monticello. Composer James Meredith has taken three reels from the colonial period in American history and put them together into a potpourri setting that students will enjoy playing.
Good music played well inspires the imagination. In the evenings after dinner at Monticello Thomas and Martha Jefferson enjoyed nothing better than to play music. Each was an accomplished musician. Jefferson would play the violin, and Martha would often accompany him at the piano. He especially enjoyed the music of Corelli. Thomas Jefferson’s Fiddle Tunes is an effort to depict what a musical evening might have been at the farm with guests joining in, clapping, stomping, or dancing to the lively tunes. Three reels of the Colonial period are featured in this medley. Jefferson and Liberty, Smash the Windows, and The White Cockade. Each jig is introduced by a solo violin then the whole section joins in.

The composer describes his 3rd string quartet, as follows: When we moved from Mantsala to Ylitornio in 1962, the experience of the northern sky at night without streetlight or other light pollution just stuck in my mind. The depth of the starry sky and the idea of how small we actually are inspired me for the three series of the string quartet. All of the string quartets are associated with the winter atmosphere and winter light in Sea Lapland. The series will culminate in the Gestures of Winter quartet, nicknamed as Time Around Northern Night Skies....
