Notes
Sugarloaf Mountain: An Appalachian Gathering – Apollo’s Fire
Following Come to the River (AV 2205), the Top 10 Billboard Classical Chart topping album, which conjured early nineteenth-century rural Americana, Apollo’s Fire presents Sugarloaf Mountain:An Appalachian Gathering. An award-winning programme created by the ensemble’s director, Jeanette Sorrell, the album follows the joys and sorrows of Celtic immigrants who settled in Appalachia. Sparkling fiddle tunes and haunting ballads of the British Isles crossed the Atlantic during the seventeenth, eighteenth, and early nineteenth centuries and took root in the hills of Virginia. They mingled with American shape-note hymns and African spirituals, which created the soulful music known as ‘Appalachian’. Passing through love and loss, dancing and prayer, the music overflows in celebration as the people of the mountains raise their communal voices.
