Tunebook
-
This collection celebrates the contemporary fiddle music of northeast Ireland, which has its own distinct style. For those who are not familiar with this ruggedly attractive part of Ireland, this book will introduce you to some of its music and musicians.
The tunes presented, all written by local musicians, are offered in two versions—one with the barebones melody and suggested accompaniment chords, and a second with ornamentation, articulation and bowing details. All tune types from northeast Ireland are represented: jigs and reels, polkas and hornpipes, marches, barn dances and waltzes, plus set dances and slow airs.
The biographical sketches and backstories provided for each composer and tune contribute to making this a unique piece of work.
