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.

A
work for solo violin and
orchestra, commissioned
by Donald McDonald for
the 21st birthday of the
Scottish Chamber
Orchestra and the 60th
birthday of the composer.
It was first performed in
November 1993 in Glasgow,
by James Clark and the
Scottish Chamber
Orchestra conducted by
Maxwell Davies. The spell
is one quoted by George
Mackay Brown in his book
An Orkney Tapestry: 'Let
not plough be put to acre
except a fiddle cross
first the furrow.'
Davies's dancing concerto
imagines the fiddler
following a route from
field to field, from
dance to dance,
accompanied by a bunch of
companions in the form of
an orchestra. As the
music goes on, so it gets
brighter and livelier,
moving from the dark
colouring of clarinets,
bassoons and strings to
full ensemble with
prominent brass and
(solo) tuned percussion,
as if the dancers as much
as the fields were
beginning to glow with
new life. Score
(miniature). Duration c.
20mins.

Adam Granger
self-published the first
edition of
Grangerâ??s Fiddle
Tunes for Guitar in
1979. A second edition
was published in 1994.
Now Mel Bay Publications
presents the third
edition of the
book.
This 236-page book
is the most extensive and
best-documented
collection of fiddle
tunes for the flatpicking
guitar player in
existence, and includes
reels, hoedowns,
hornpipes, rags,
breakdowns, jigs and
slip-jigs, presented in
Southern, Northern,
Irish, Canadian, Texas
and Old-time
styles.
There are 508
fiddle tunes referenced
under 2500 titles and
alternate titles. The
titles are fully indexed,
making the book doubly
valuable as a reference
book and a source
book.
In this new
edition, all tunes are
typeset, instead of being
handwritten as they were
in the previous editions,
making the tabs easier to
read.
The tunes in
Grangerâ??s Fiddle
Tunes for Guitar are
presented in Easytab, a
streamlined tablature
notation system designed
by Adam specifically for
fiddle
tunes.
The book comes
with a link which gives
access to mp3 recordings
by Adam of all 508 tunes,
each played once at a
moderate tempo, with
rhythm on one channel and
lead on the
other.
Also included in
Grangerâ??s Fiddle
Tunes for Guitar are
instructions for reading
Easytab, descriptions of
tune types presented in
the book, and primers on
traditional flatpicking
and rhythm guitar.
Additionally, there are
sections on timing,
ornamentation, technique,
and fingering, as well as
information on tune
sources and a history of
the
collection.
Mel Bay also
offers The Granger
Collection, by Bill
Nicholson, the same 508
tunes in standard music
notation.
