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.

Takin
g its title from a poem
about grief and loss by
Chrissie Pinney, Live
On honors the life of
band director Linda Mann,
to whom the piece is
dedicated. The piece
begins with a pensive
intro before shifting to
a whimsical theme that
brings about happy
thoughts of a life
well-lived. After a
return to the poignant
opening material, the
music surges to a
triumphant conclusion
based on an augmented
version of the whimsical
theme. Live On was
commissioned by Diplomat
Middle School's staff,
faculty and students, in
Cape Coral, Florida, and
is dedicated to the
memory of their Director
of Bands, Linda Mann.
Director of Orchestras,
Roland Forti, championed
the commissioning of this
piece to honor the life
of Linda after her
untimely passing in
February of
2017. Linda
Mann’s impact on
the field of music
education was profound
and wide-reaching. She
was a beloved member of
the staff at Diplomat
Middle School, as well as
the music community of
Cape Coral and the state
of Florida. Linda was
highly respected
throughout the state,
serving as recent
past-president of the
Florida Bandmasters
Association.In discussing
the type of piece the
school wanted to honor
Ms. Mann, they indicated
the piece should
“depict
Linda’s
personality: dynamic,
sassy, yet thoughtful and
almost
mentor-like.†They
wanted a piece that was
upbeat, yet still had
moments that were
thoughtful, portraying
the grief that the
Diplomat Middle School
community has suffered
from the sudden loss of
such a beloved
teacher.After
contemplating their
thoughts, I did some
research to find
inspiration for the
piece. This led me to
poetry about grief and
loss. In time, I stumbled
upon a short, yet
poignant poem that I felt
perfectly depicted the
sentiment that I wanted
the piece to convey.Â
That poem is entitled
Live On by Chrissie
Pinney.Live OnNow as I
live onWithout youI hope
to keepThe pieces of
youThat I loved so
dearlyYour mannerismsAnd
compassionate
characterAnd smiles
through struggleSo that
youMay live on
too -Chrissie PinneyI
reached out to Ms.
Pinney, and she
graciously agreed to
allow me to quote her
powerful poem in these
notes. She expressed
that she was deeply
touched that her work
would inspire me to write
a piece in honor of Linda
Mann.The piece begins
with a poignant, pensive
opening section. The use
of the musical interval
of a tritone between the
first two openly voiced
chords are used to
represent the sadness we
all feel from this type
of loss. When I sat in
front of my piano and
started to work on this
piece, my hands seemed to
naturally and immediately
play these first two
chords, which set the
process in motion of
composing the piece.After
the somber opening, the
piece shifts to a
whimsical theme that I
hope brings about happy
thoughts of Linda and her
personality. It was also
my intent, however, to
include some musical
dissonance in the theme
that still reflected the
bittersweet loss at the
same time. The piece
develops into a secondary
theme that is a quasi
inversion of the main
fast theme. This
section is followed by a
return of the opening
material, with snippets
of the fast theme
intertwined, before the
piece builds to a
triumphant, augmented
presentation of the main
theme in a lush form to
complete the work.It is
my hope that in some
small way, this piece
will bring comfort to
those affected by the
loss of Linda Mann, and
that the music will allow
her memory to Live
On.–Larry

Nuptial
Scene was commissioned by
the Jerusalem Symphony
Orchestra in cooperation
with the city of
Jerusalem for the
celebration of the fourth
Testimonium, a festival
to preserve Jewish
heritage. The work was
written in September,
1975, and premiered in
Jerusalem in February,
1976, with the Jerusalem
Symphony, Juan Pablo
Izquierdo conducting, and
Adi Etzion as soloist. It
is dedicated to Recha
Freier, the originator
and prime mover of the
festival. Nuptial Scene
is based on a simple
medieval poem of
prenuptial instruction.
Part of it is in Catalan
and part in Hebrew. The
poem originated in
Catalonia, where a highly
developed Jewish
community existed until
the expulsion of 1492. A
mother is instructing her
daughter in the ways and
strategies of marriage
and rejoicing with a new
song for a new bride.
When I initially planned
the setting for this
lovely poem, I realized
that the age of the
daughter would be about
twelve, for girls in that
historical period were
married at puberty. This
set in motion a scheme
for the composition,
since my oldest daughter
was thirteen at that
time, and I used her
psyche to give me
direction. When a girl of
twelve or thirteen thinks
of a wedding, she is
completely captivated by
its frills -- the dress,
the party, the dancing.
In her imagination, the
reality of a husband or
any kind of domestic
responsibility would be
nonexistent. Therefore,
during the mother's
ardent pleas,
instructions,
admonitions, and even
innuendos, the daughter's
mind wanders and dreams
of dancing. Musically,
the rather straight,
somber rhythm and melody
of the song are
interrupted by an
independent, faster dance
speed of the bongos and
by scattered fragments of
an actual medieval
Spanish-Jewish dance. At
the point where the
mother speaks of sensuous
marital problems, she
herself becomes excited,
and in a nostalgic,
dreamlike spirit -- with
the use of improvised
melodic lines for which
only the gestural
outlines are given -- she
goes into a kind of
rapturous trance. The
daughter, however, seems
unmoved, and she falls
asleep. The mother calms
down, puts her head on
the daughter's shoulder,
and quietly muses, then
also closes her eyes.
