The 1712
Overture stands out in
P.D.Q. Bach's oeuvre for
two reasons, among
others: it is by far the
most programmatic
instrumental piece among
those by the minimeister
of Wein-am-Rhein so far
unearthed, and 2) its
discovery has led to a
revelation about the
composer's father, Johann
Sebastian Bach, that has
exploded like a bombshell
on the usually serene
musicological landscape.
The overture is based on
an anecdote told to
P.D.Q. Bach by a cousin,
Peter Ulrich. Since P.U.
Bach lived in Dudeldorf,
only a few miles down the
road from Wein-am-Rhein,
he was P.D.Q.'s closest
relative, and he was, in
fact, one of the few
members of the family who
was on speaking terms
with P.D.Q. The story,
related to P.D.Q.
(fortunately for us
posterity types) in a
letter, may be summarized
thus: The town of
Dudeldorf was founded by
two brothers, Rudi and
Dieter Dudel, early in
the 18th century. Rudi
remained mayor of the
newborn burg for the rest
of his long life, but
Dieter had a dream of
starting a musicians'
colony, an entire city
devoted to music, which
dream, he finally
decided, could be
realized only in the New
World. In 1712, he and
several other bagpipers
sailed to Boston, never
to return to Germany.
(Henceforth, Rudi became
known as der deutscher
Dudel and Dieter as the
Yankee Dudel).
Unfortunately, the head
of the Boston Musicians'
Guild had gotten wind of
Dudel's plans, and
Wilhelm Wiesel (pron.
VEE-zle), known none too
affectionately around
town as Wiesel the
Weasel, was not about to
share what few gigs there
were in colonial America
with more foreigners and
outside agitators. He and
his cronies were on hand
to meet Dudel's boat when
it pulled into Boston
Harbor; they intended to
prevent the newcomers'
disembarkation, but Dudel
and his companions
managed to escape to the
other side of the bay in
a dinghy, landing with
just enough time to rent
a carriage and horses
before hearing the sound
of The Weasel and his
men, who had had to come
around the long way. The
Germans headed West, with
the Bostonians in furious
pursuit. soon the city
had been left far behind,
and by midnight so had
the pursuers; Dieter
Dudel decided that it was
safe for him and his men
to stop and sleep until
daybreak. When they
awoke, they found that
they were in a beautiful
landscape of low,
forested mountains and
pleasant fields, warmed
by the brilliant morning
sun and serenaded by an
entrancing variety of
birds. Here, Dudel
thought, her is where I
will build my colony. The
immigrants continued down
the road at a leisurely
pace until they came upon
a little church, all by
itself in the
countryside, from which
there suddenly emanated
the sounds of a pipe
organ. At this point, the
temptation to quote from
P.U. Bach's letter to
P.D.Q. cannot be
resisted: They went
inside and, after
listening to the glorious
music for a while,
introduced themselves to
the organist. And who do
you think it was? Are you
ready for this -- it was
your old man! Hey, no
kidding -- you know, I'm
sure, that your father
was the guy to get when
it came to testing new
organs, and whoever had
that one in Massachusetts
built offered old
Sebastian a tidy sum to
go over there and check
it out. The unexpected
meeting with J.S. Bach
and his sponsors was
interrupted by the sound
of horse hooves, as the
dreaded Wiesel and his
men thundered on to the
scene. They had been
riding all night,
however, and they were no
spring chickens to start
with, and as soon as they
reached the church they
all dropped, exhausted,
to the ground. The elated
Germans rang the church
bells and offered to buy
everyone a beer at the
nearest tavern. There
they were taught, and
joined in singing, what
might be called the
national anthem of the
New World. The melody of
this pre-revolutionary
patriotic song is still
remembered (P.D.Q. Bach
quotes it, in the bass
instruments, near the end
of the overture), but is
words are now all but
forgotten: Freedom, of
thee we sing, Freedom
e'er is our goal; Death
to the English King, Long
live Rock and Ross. The
striking paucity of
biographical references
to Johann Sebastian Bah
during the year 1712 can
now be explained: he was
abroad for a significant
part of that year,
testing organs in the
British Colonies. That
this revelation has not
been accepted as fact by
the musicological
establishment is no
surprise, since it means
that a lot of books would
have to be rewritten. The
members of that
establishment haven't
even accepted the
existence of P.D.Q. Bach,
one of whose major works
the 1712 Overture
certainly is. It is also
a work that shows
Tchaikowsky up as the
shameless plagiarizer
that some of us have
always known he was. The
discovery of this awesome
opus was made possible by
a Boston Pops Centennial
Research Commission; the
first modern performance
took place at the opening
concert of the 100th
anniversary season of
that orchestra, under the
exciting but authentic
direction of John
Williams.

A
commission from the Santa
Fe Chamber Music
Festival, for any
combination of
instruments of her
choosing, quickly sparked
Shulamit Ran to create a
trio for Flute, Viola,
and Harp. She writes of
this instrumentation:
“something about
its color palette
reminded me of the image
I have of Santa Fe as a
sun-drenched city of warm
hues, a thriving arts
scene, and a spirit of
relaxed tolerance.â€
In this subtle, yet
dramatic work, the
instruments begin the
journey with distinct,
contrasting musical
personalities, which
gradually begin to
coalesce, though not
without surprise twists
along the road. Being
commissioned by the Santa
Fe Chamber Music Festival
to create a new work for
the major milestone of
its 50th anniversary was
both an honor and a
special delight. My
choice of the flute,
viola, and harp
combination for this
composition was reached
quickly and almost
instinctively, motivated
not only because I
relished the thought of
composing for an
instrumental ensemble I
had not previously
written for, but also
because something about
its color palette
reminded me of the image
I have of Santa Fe as a
sun-drenched city of warm
hues, a thriving arts
scene, and a spirit of
relaxed tolerance.In All
Roads Leading I treat the
instruments
intermittently as three
distinct characters who
have their own individual
“voices†and
musical materials, while
at other times they
coalesce into a single,
more unified entity. In
the sections expressive
of the
instruments’
individual
“soulsâ€â€
as I like to call
them—the music
ranges from the songful,
to the impassioned, but
also the volatile. In
contrast, where all three
instruments act as a
single entity, the music
tends to be highly
rhythmic, sometimes
dance-like, even angular,
and spiky.As the work
progresses, the
boundaries between these
contrasting approaches
become deliberately
blurrier and more
intertwined, perhaps
reminding one of a tale
with various twists and
turns in the plot. And
although eschewing a
formal recapitulation,
various motivic threads
as well as emotive
“states†are
eventually brought full
circle, as if to fulfill
an intended role that
crystallizes only as All
Roads Leading plays out
its full journey.
Simultaneously with the
general unwinding and
relaxation that is
reached nearthe end, a
mutation of an earlier
more threatening element
appears at the very
closing of the work,
perhaps a reminder that
the unknown always lies
ahead.

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.
