ABSTRACT

Christopher Dietz, Advisor

these labored breaths, for chamber ensemble, is inspired by two mining fires near the Ohio/West Virginia border. The first of these disasters happened at the Powhatan Coal Mine on July 5, 1944. Of the 190 men in the mine, 66 died. One of those men, Ralph

Vilkoski, scrawled a letter in a notebook. The letter, found two months after the fire with Vilkoski’s charred body, detailed the miner’s wishes for his family and a final farewell. The second letter utilized in the piece was found with Martin Toler, Jr.’s body on January 3,

2006 at the Sago Coal Mine. Of the 13 men in the mine, only 1 survived. Found next to Toler Jr.’s body was an insurance form with the text “Tell all I see them on the other side. It wasn’t bad, I just went to sleep. I love you” scrawled in pencil. Excerpts from these texts are found throughout movements two and three of the composition.

Research and analysis of traditional song, instrumentation and musical practices of the region inform the work’s overall style.

Although facets of Appalachian music are blended into the musical languages of the piece, careful consideration was taken to avoid mere propagation of the traditional musical material.

PERFORMANCE INSTRUCTIONS

Harmonica (2 Required):

Pitches used in this piece range from F3- E4. The harmonica used to compose this piece was the Hohner Super Chromonica

270 in the key of C, which is the most common chromatic harmonica. This model is therefore recommended for performance, though not required. Figure 1 is global for the majority of 12 hole chromatic harmonicas in the key of C. Please note that the slide for both harmonicas should be out for the duration of the piece.

fig. 1: Chromatic Harmonica in C Instructional Pitch Chart

Piano Accordion (1 Required):

Pitches used range from F3 to A6. The Victoria Piano Standard (figure 2) was used in the composition of this piece. This model of accordion is therefore recommended for performance, though not required. Please note that the only left hand button required is the air button (movement iii, measure 171) . The air button operates a valve that allows the bellows to open and close without the accordion making any sound other than air passing through. It is usually found on the side of the bass board, or, is the very top bass button near the thumb.

Musical Spoons:

A frequently used instrument in the music of Appalachia, the musical spoons can be any pair of the eating utensil. Choose a pair of identical metal spoons or obtain pre-made musical spoons. Hold the bottom spoon face down between your pointer finger and your middle finger, pressing the edge of the handle lightly against your palm with your middle finger to ensure a tight grip. Hold the top spoon face up between your thumb and the middle of your pointer finger in the same hand, pressing the handle lightly to the palm with the pointer finger. Press the thumb down onto the handle for a firm grip. The bottoms of the spoons should now be lined up evenly back to back (figure 3). Hold the spoons straight, about a half-inch apart, so they make a clicking noise when they come together. Hold your other hand palm down above your leg about seven inches or so above the hand holding the spoons. Hit the spoons down on your leg, then up to your palm, getting a click with both moves. Do this back and forth a few times, holding the spoons tight enough so they don't slip. To roll (notated as grace notes within the score), spread the fingers of your empty hand wide and let the spoons bounce down each finger.

Clapping and Stomping:

“Stepping” is a common percussive element used in the music of Appalachia. Stepping is comprised of hand clapping and foot stomping, or clogging, and it is both an accompaniment to many folk songs and a solo instrument. The stepping used in this piece is fairly basic but should be done with the utmost vigor and enthusiasm. Preferrably, hard soled shoes should be worn and impacted against a wooden platform/stage.
