Transcription: by Darryl D. Bush
"Rose in the Mountain" is an old time American breakdown from Kentucky in D Major.<br> It is a “crooked” tune from the Salyer Family. Jeff Titon (2001) is of the opinion the<br> tune might have once been a march, although John Salyer played it as a breakdown.<br> Titon finds the first part of “Rose on the Mountain,” published by Knauff in 1839<br> is related (however, it is not related to J.P. Fraley’s<br> “Wild Rose of the Mountain”).<br> Source for notated versions: John M. Salyer (Salyersville, Magoffin County, Ky.).<br> The banjo tablature is by John Letscher. His notes:<br> This is Salyer's version. Adam Hurt does a slightly more lyrical version.<br> It was printed in Phillips's Traditional American Fiddle Tunes (1995) and<br> Titon's Old Time Kentucky Fiddle Tunes (2001).<br> It was recorded by John M. Salyer in the Berea College Appalachian Center Recordings and<br> Adam Hurt on his Artifacts CD.<br>
