"Appalachia Waltz"
The one piece of mine whose impact I never could have predicted is Appalachia Waltz. Largely thanks to the iconic cellist Yo-Yo Ma and his inclusion of the piece on his Bach programs and his symphony orchestra encores, the composition has become a mainstay of American classical string music. I have often been asked why Appalachia Waltz - or any of my music, for that matter - sounds American. To me, American music in general, implicates a sense of journey and its influences are diverse and wide-ranging. Country, gospel, bluegrass, Canadian fiddling, jazz, Habanero, Cajun, Zydeco, old-time, and numerous other styles are themselves blends of sounds and songs from the various peoples, cultures, and communities that have made America their home. To me, Appalachia Waltz is a modern-day spiritual. It conveys optimism and longing, a belief in the future and a closeness for old homes, old friends, and past journeys. -Mark O'Connor

Album notes writer Professor Péter Kováts, a Bartok-Pasztory Award winner violinist from Hungary, compared Mark O’Connor’s duo compositions/arrangements to those of classical composer great Bela Bartok; “The roots of Mark O’Connor's compositions are in the traditional American fiddling styles, and I am sure his unique and excellent settings will serve the same goal that Bela Bartók’s Duos serve. Being a concert violinist and university violin pedagogue, I welcome the birth of these fantastic O’Connor Duos and wish great success for them!”
