Appalachian Awakening

from Mid​-​Size Jazz Ensemble by Roger Aldridge

/

about

Appalachian Awakening is an extended piece that expresses my love of the Appalachian Mountains. The Rockies are beautifully majestic, but there is a deep-rooted soul in the Appalachians that speaks to me. The idea for this music came to me when I was hiking in West Virginia. I was not intending to think about a new piece of music; however, all of a sudden I heard the opening of the bossa nova in my mind and it expressed to me the beauty of the surrounding mountains.

This is an unusual composition in how it combines bossa nova and fiddle music. The two sections were composed as one piece, with the fiddle unexpectedly emerging from the bossa nova.
