Notes

Music by Thomas Farmer (1970-2000) originally released 1999-2001 on 8 albums (all now out-of-print). The notes below are organized by the original album, with corresponding track numbers from THREAUXBAQS.

SAMPLER:
1) Messiaenic Prelude XXXIX - for carillon
3) Arches - for string orchestra, inspired by the beauty of Arches National Park near Moab, Utah
4) Blues (1977) - the first of three Piano Blues rescored for jazz quartet

PIANO 1:
6) Mambo - for 2 pianos

PIANO 2:
8) P-p-p-polka - piano solo

HOME COOKIN'
2) Golliwog's Breakdown - arrangement of Claude Debussy's "Golliwog's Cakewalk" for a down-home sound
5) Deep River - for alto saxophone solo, string quintet and piano--a setting of the spiritual "Deep River" offset with
"Sometimes I Feel Like A Motherless Child". Please forgive the sound quality as this was from a live performance
from 1977, under less than optimal conditions. Features Russell Thomas, Jr on alto saxophone
12) Appalachian Songs - a suite of seven songs from Appalachia, each set with a different combination of instruments
13) Crippled Creek - piano solo drawn from banjo accompaniments of the fiddle tune, "Cripple Creek" -- sounds
deceptively simple

15) Home Cookin' - suite for violin, viola and cello consisting of five movements of fiddle tune settings, chosen for their
subjects: Hog Eye an' a Tater; Sweet Potato Pie with Maple Sugar; Turkey Egg, Rye Whiskey and Burnt Potato;
