Program NotesOn a recent trip to the mountains of western, North Carolina I had the opportunity to hear some fine bluegrass musicians performing at a small restaurant. They loved their music and it showed! On the way home I began to think about how to transfer that joy into a piece for band, and Mountain Dance was the result.

The composition is based on three common Appalachian mountain tunes, Cluck Old Hen, Sourwood Mountain, and Poor Polly, which are weaved together throughout the piece. At times, the piece has traces of sounds from the Irish, who settled the Appalachian Mountains.

Be sure to emphasize the accents to mimic the banjo picking in Cluck Old Hen so that the audience can picture an old hen strutting through the yard. Sourwood Mountain should be light and crisp; don’t let the accompaniment overpower the melodies. A short mallet fea-ture (you can double this if you like with vibes) leads to a more somber section, Poor Polly, which is a song about a man murdering his girl. Let the piece build from this section to the end, where several melodies and the countermelody in horns and saxes come together for the climax of the piece. All the colors of the modern wind ensemble are used to bring this upbeat, melodic tune to life!

I think you, your students, and most of all your audience will enjoy their visit with the historic music of the Appalachian Mountains.
