Old Country Fairy Tale adapted for violin, viola and cello is a composition by Mark OConnor that appears on the recording "Appalachia Waltz" featuring Yo-Yo Ma and Edgar Meyer. The Sony Classical release was voted by People Magazine as one of the top ten albums in all musical categories in 1996. OConnor scored the original recording of "Old Country Fairy Tale" to include doublebass. Here, he has adapted the instrumentation to call for violin, viola and cello for improved playability. The composition features OConnors beautiful melodic phrases dynamically ushered into the classic setting. His theme for "Old Country Fairy Tale" undergoes a development of three different dance traditions found in fiddle music the Hornpipe, Waltz and Jig, which in broad terms, presents a unique version of a fiddle contest round. New music with an old spirit. The music is suited for advanced and intermediate levels.
