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.

I composed
the Piano Concerto in two
stages: the first three
movements during the
years 1985-86, the next
two in 1987, the final
autograph of the last
movement was ready by
January, 1988. The
concerto is dedicated to
the American conductor
Mario di Bonaventura. The
markings of the movements
are the following: 1.
Vivace molto ritmico e
preciso 2. Lento e
deserto 3. Vivace
cantabile 4. Allegro
risoluto 5. Presto
luminoso.The first
performance of the
three-movement Concerto
was on October 23rd, 1986
in Graz. Mario di
Bonaventura conducted
while his brother,
Anthony di Bonaventura,
was the soloist. Two days
later the performance was
repeated in the Vienna
Konzerthaus. After
hearing the work twice, I
came to the conclusion
that the third movement
is not an adequate
finale; my feeling of
form demanded
continuation, a
supplement. That led to
the composing of the next
two movements. The
premiere of the whole
cycle took place on
February 29th, 1988, in
the Vienna Konzerthaus
with the same conductor
and the same pianist. The
orchestra consisted of
the following: flute,
oboe, clarinet, bassoon,
horn, trumpet, tenor
trombone, percussion and
strings. The flautist
also plays the piccoIo,
the clarinetist, the alto
ocarina. The percussion
is made up of diverse
instruments, which one
musician-virtuoso can
play. It is more
practical, however, if
two or three musicians
share the instruments.
Besides traditional
instruments the
percussion part calls
also for two simple wind
instruments: the swanee
whistle and the
harmonica. The string
instrument parts (two
violins, viola, cello and
doubles bass) can be
performed soloistic since
they do not contain
divisi. For balance,
however, the ensemble
playing is recommended,
for example 6-8 first
violins, 6-8 second, 4-6
violas, 4-6 cellos, 3-4
double basses. In the
Piano Concerto I realized
new concepts of harmony
and rhythm. The first
movement is entirely
written in bimetry:
simultaneously 12/8 and
4/4 (8/8). This relates
to the known triplet on a
doule relation and in
itself is nothing new.
Because, however, I
articulate 12 triola and
8 duola pulses, an
entangled, up till now
unheard kind of polymetry
is created. The rhythm is
additionally complicated
because of asymmetric
groupings inside two
speed layers, which means
accents are
asymmetrically
distributed. These
groups, as in the talea
technique, have a fixed,
continuously repeating
rhythmic structures of
varying lengths in speed
layers of 12/8 and 4/4.
This means that the
repeating pattern in the
12/8 level and the
pattern in the 4/4 level
do not coincide and
continuously give a
kaleidoscope of renewing
combinations. In our
perception we quickly
resign from following
particular rhythmical
successions and that what
is going on in time
appears for us as
something static,
resting. This music, if
it is played properly, in
the right tempo and with
the right accents inside
particular layers, after
a certain time 'rises, as
it were, as a plane after
taking off: the rhythmic
action, too complex to be
able to follow in detail,
begins flying. This
diffusion of individual
structures into a
different global
structure is one of my
basic compositional
concepts: from the end of
the fifties, from the
orchestral works
Apparitions and
Atmospheres I
continuously have been
looking for new ways of
resolving this basic
question. The harmony of
the first movement is
based on mixtures, hence
on the parallel leading
of voices. This technique
is used here in a rather
simple form; later in the
fourth movement it will
be considerably
developed. The second
movement (the only slow
one amongst five
movements) also has a
talea type of structure,
it is however much
simpler rhythmically,
because it contains only
one speed layer. The
melody is consisted in
the development of a
rigorous interval mode in
which two minor seconds
and one major second
alternate therefore nine
notes inside an octave.
This mode is transposed
into different degrees
and it also determines
the harmony of the
movement; however, in
closing episode in the
piano part there is a
combination of diatonics
(white keys) and
pentatonics (black keys)
led in brilliant,
sparkling quasimixtures,
while the orchestra
continues to play in the
nine tone mode. In this
movement I used isolated
sounds and extreme
registers (piccolo in a
very low register,
bassoon in a very high
register, canons played
by the swanee whistle,
the alto ocarina and
brass with a harmon-mute'
damper, cutting sound
combinations of the
piccolo, clarinet and
oboe in an extremely high
register, also
alternating of a
whistle-siren and
xylophone). The third
movement also has one
speed layer and because
of this it appears as
simpler than the first,
but actually the rhythm
is very complicated in a
different way here. Above
the uninterrupted, fast
and regular basic pulse,
thanks to the asymmetric
distribution of accents,
different types of
hemiolas and inherent
melodical patterns appear
(the term was coined by
Gerhard Kubik in relation
to central African
music). If this movement
is played with the
adequate speed and with
very clear accentuation,
illusory
rhythmic-melodical
figures appear. These
figures are not played
directly; they do not
appear in the score, but
exist only in our
perception as a result of
co-operation of different
voices. Already earlier I
had experimented with
illusory rhythmics,
namely in Poeme
symphonique for 100
metronomes (1962), in
Continuum for harpsichord
(1968), in Monument for
two pianos (1976), and
especially in the first
and sixth piano etude
Desordre and Automne a
Varsovie (1985). The
third movement of the
Piano Concerto is up to
now the clearest example
of illusory rhythmics and
illusory melody. In
intervallic and chordal
structure this movement
is based on alternation,
and also inter-relation
of various modal and
quasi-equidistant harmony
spaces. The tempered
twelve-part division of
the octave allows for
diatonical and other
modal interval
successions, which are
not equidistant, but are
based on the alternation
of major and minor
seconds in different
groups. The tempered
system also allows for
the use of the
anhemitonic pentatonic
scale (the black keys of
the piano). From
equidistant scales,
therefore interval
formations which are
based on the division of
an octave in equal
distances, the
twelve-tone tempered
system allows only
chromatics (only minor
seconds) and the six-tone
scale (the whole-tone:
only major seconds).
Moreover, the division of
the octave into four
parts only minor thirds)
and three parts (three
major thirds) is
possible. In several
music cultures different
equidistant divisions of
an octave are accepted,
for example, in the
Javanese slendro into
five parts, in Melanesia
into seven parts, popular
also in southeastern
Asia, and apart from
this, in southern Africa.
This does not mean an
exact equidistance: there
is a certain tolerance
for the inaccurateness of
the interval tuning.
These exotic for us,
Europeans, harmony and
melody have attracted me
for several years.
However I did not want to
re-tune the piano
(microtone deviations
appear in the concerto
only in a few places in
the horn and trombone
parts led in natural
tones). After the period
of experimenting, I got
to pseudo- or
quasiequidistant
intervals, which is
neither whole-tone nor
chromatic: in the
twelve-tone system, two
whole-tone scales are
possible, shifted a minor
second apart from each
other. Therefore, I
connect these two scales
(or sound resources), and
for example, places occur
where the melodies and
figurations in the piano
part are created from
both whole tone scales;
in one band one six-tone
sound resource is
utilized, and in the
other hand, the
complementary. In this
way whole-tonality and
chromaticism mutually
reduce themselves: a type
of deformed
equidistancism is formed,
strangely brilliant and
at the same time
slanting; illusory
harmony, indeed being
created inside the
tempered twelve-tone
system, but in sound
quality not belonging to
it anymore. The
appearance of such
slantedequidistant
harmony fields
alternating with modal
fields and based on
chords built on fifths
(mainly in the piano
part), complemented with
mixtures built on fifths
in the orchestra, gives
this movement an
individual, soft-metallic
colour (a metallic sound
resulting from
harmonics). The fourth
movement was meant to be
the central movement of
the Concerto. Its
melodc-rhythmic elements
(embryos or fragments of
motives) in themselves
are simple. The movement
also begins simply, with
a succession of
overlapping of these
elements in the mixture
type structures. Also
here a kaleidoscope is
created, due to a limited
number of these elements
- of these pebbles in the
kaleidoscope - which
continuously return in
augmentations and
diminutions. Step by
step, however, so that in
the beginning we cannot
hear it, a compiled
rhythmic organization of
the talea type gradually
comes into daylight,
based on the simultaneity
of two mutually shifted
to each other speed
layers (also triplet and
duoles, however, with
different asymmetric
structures than in the
first movement). While
longer rests are
gradually filled in with
motive fragments, we
slowly come to the
conclusion that we have
found ourselves inside a
rhythmic-melodical whirl:
without change in tempo,
only through increasing
the density of the
musical events, a
rotation is created in
the stream of successive
and compiled, augmented
and diminished motive
fragments, and increasing
the density suggests
acceleration. Thanks to
the periodical structure
of the composition,
always new but however of
the same (all the motivic
cells are similar to
earlier ones but none of
them are exactly
repeated; the general
structure is therefore
self-similar), an
impression is created of
a gigantic, indissoluble
network. Also, rhythmic
structures at first
hidden gradually begin to
emerge, two independent
speed layers with their
various internal
accentuations. This
great, self-similar whirl
in a very indirect way
relates to musical
associations, which came
to my mind while watching
the graphic projection of
the mathematical sets of
Julia and of Mandelbrot
made with the help of a
computer. I saw these
wonderful pictures of
fractal creations, made
by scientists from Brema,
Peitgen and Richter, for
the first time in 1984.
From that time they have
played a great role in my
musical concepts. This
does not mean, however,
that composing the fourth
movement I used
mathematical methods or
iterative calculus;
indeed, I did use
constructions which,
however, are not based on
mathematical thinking,
but are rather craftman's
constructions (in this
respect, my attitude
towards mathematics is
similar to that of the
graphic artist Maurits
Escher). I am concerned
rather with intuitional,
poetic, synesthetic
correspondence, not on
the scientific, but on
the poetic level of
thinking. The fifth, very
short Presto movement is
harmonically very simple,
but all the more
complicated in its
rhythmic structure: it is
based on the further
development of ''inherent
patterns of the third
movement. The
quasi-equidistance system
dominates harmonically
and melodically in this
movement, as in the
third, alternating with
harmonic fields, which
are based on the division
of the chromatic whole
into diatonics and
anhemitonic pentatonics.
Polyrhythms and harmonic
mixtures reach their
greatest density, and at
the same time this
movement is strikingly
light, enlightened with
very bright colours: at
first it seems chaotic,
but after listening to it
for a few times it is
easy to grasp its
content: many autonomous
but self-similar figures
which crossing
themselves. I present my
artistic credo in the
Piano Concerto: I
demonstrate my
independence from
criteria of the
traditional avantgarde,
as well as the
fashionable
postmodernism. Musical
illusions which I
consider to be also so
important are not a goal
in itself for me, but a
foundation for my
aesthetical attitude. I
prefer musical forms
which have a more
object-like than
processual character.
Music as frozen time, as
an object in imaginary
space evoked by music in
our imagination, as a
creation which really
develops in time, but in
imagination it exists
simultaneously in all its
moments. The spell of
time, the enduring its
passing by, closing it in
a moment of the present
is my main intention as a
composer. (Gyorgy
Ligeti).

Natha
niel Dett was among
America’s leading
composers in the early
20th century, and
MAGNOLIA SUITE is a
beautiful example of his
rich, hybrid style.
Deeply inspired by the
music and mission of
Samuel Coleridge-Taylor,
Dett’s piano music
springs from the late
Romantic traditions of
florid texture and
embellishment, along with
programmatic titles and
raw emotion. It is
notable for melody
writing inspired by and
paraphrasing
African-American song.
The 18-minute MAGNOLIA
SUITE contains five
movements, any of which
may also be performed
separately. This edition
by Lara Downes provides a
clean, new engraving that
corrects the many errors
and unclear indications
appearing in the
historical
printing. Robert
Nathaniel Dett was born
in a place that was built
on freedom. The little
village of Drummondville,
Ontario was founded by
enslaved Africans
– Dett’s
ancestors among them
– who traveled the
Underground Railroad out
of the American South
into Canada. Their
journey brought them to a
safe haven, a place where
fortunes and futures
could be transformed in
the span of one
generation, to lives full
of new possibilities. You
could call it “the
place where the rainbow
ends,†which is the
title of the last
movement of Dett’s
Magnolia Suite.When Dett
wrote these pieces, he
was a young teacher at
Lane College in
Tennessee, a historically
Black college that had
been founded in 1882, the
year of his birth. A
place built on freedom,
with the purpose of
educating
newly-emancipated slaves
– a place designed
to nurture the blossoming
of ideas, the vibrant
flowering of minds set
free. This music is
inspired by the gorgeous
splendor of the magnolia
blooms on that college
campus, and also by the
shared histories,
experiences, and
aspirations of the
community that Dett found
there.These five pieces
pay affectionate tribute
to lineage and legacy.
They express gratitude
for the bittersweet
beauties of the present;
nostalgia for the past (a
bit romanticized, as the
past always is); and an
effervescent optimism for
the future that awaits us
in the place where the
rainbow ends.

William
Percy French was one of
Ireland's favourite sons
and his influence on
traditional Irish Music
can still be felt today.
His lyrics are still
humorous, ironic and
perceptive, but never
mocking or scornful, and
these exemplify his love
of his motherland.
Representing some of the
finest examples of this
genre, this volume
contains forty-seven of
his most famous and
enjoyed songs all
lovingly arranged by
James Nealy, with
melody-line, complete
lyrics and chords.
Includes notes on the
inspiration and
background of each of the
songs and a commentary on
the life and talents of
French himself. This is a
wonderful reference book
as well as a compilation
of his magnificent works
for enjoyment. Songs
include Eileen Oge, The

Programme
Note CANTICA for cello
and piano (1977)When in
1975 I had finished
composing my Symphony no.
3 (begun in 1973), I
wrote three simple
melodies for two psalm
texts by Ole Sarvig: The
Year and Choral Hymn.
These three tunes were
derived from the same
material as the second
movement of the symphony
and could be harmonized
together in several
different tempo
relationships, like
proportional canons. For
this reason they inspired
me to write several
choral and instrumental
works in the following
decade: Frost Psalm,
Winter Cantata, the tuba
octet Now all the earth
is white with snow,
Canticles (and
others).Cantica, meaning
song or singing, was
composed (forthe Danish
musicians Hans Erik
Dechert og Kjeld Hansen)
as a instrumental little
brother the long,
polyphonic choral pieces.
As in these the canonical
melodies in Cantica drift
from foreground to
background, from cello to
piano. The melodies are
simple, diatonic and in
traditional rhythms and
the surface of the music
in a way traditional. The
intention of the composer
with this easily
understood expression is
to lead the listeners
ears to the many
internal, proportional
developments. The story
is in a way hidden
between the lines. In the
myriads of rhythmic and
tempo relations the
Golden Mean (near to
2:3:5:8: et cetera) plays
an important role, like
in nature. Among the
experiences giving by
this natural phenomenon
are - perhaps - the
musical points to be
found (?).Per
Norgard(1997).
