Perhaps better
known for its role in music such as Tango, French Musette, Polka,
Cajun and Sydeco, the accordion has also filled an important role
in religious and celebratory music. From its patenting by Cyrill
Demian on 23rd May, 1829, in Vienna, the accordion has filled many
roles and been subject to more praise and abuse than any other instrument.
Having the ability to emulate the sounds of virtually every musical
instrument meant it was seen as a new challenger on the front. It
was condemned by the Nazis and banned from playing classical music
as it was seen as "an abuse of our great masters". It
was suggested by some to be a tool of the devil. It was played in
hotels, dance halls, and even houses of poor repute. It was also
used by missionaries in the fields, as it was able to emulate every
portable instrument, did not need constant tuning, and in the hands
of a master could perform virtually every hymn written for Organ.
Perhaps there is no better demonstration of its versatility than
on this recording of beautiful Christmas Carols. The instrument
used for this recording is a midi/acoustic Pigini
accordion, manufactured in Castlefidado, Italy. With this instrument
Bernadette, has been able to capture all the fun, joy and celebration,
which will give the listener years of wonderful listening. Perhaps
best known for her busking for many years at Christmas near the
Myer windows in Melbourne's famous Bourke Street Mall, Bernadette
(and her accordion) is well known to virtually everyone in the city
of Melbourne.
