In a
true performance piece,
Igudesman starts us off,
appropriately, with
Jingle Bells, but a
Jingle Bells heard
through his ears. This
polite opening quickly
morphs into an
Igudesman-style Dance of
the Sugar Plum Fairies,
followed by other
surprises of sacred and
secular bent. His opening
note, Kind of Christmassy
with a touch of Hannukah,
is apt, as his
(recommended) sung We
Wish You a Merry
Christmas leads directly
into I Have a Little
Dreidel. Timid violinists
are advised to stick with
the generic Silent Night
(which, surprisingly,
also makes an appearance
here, along with Auld
Lang Syne). True
performers of advanced
skills will want to work
this oddity into their
holiday program this
year. Christmas Confusion
is challenging for both
players, but will delight
audiences with surprising
quotes from familiar
materials.

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.
