This delightful collection of Irish songs has been compiled and set as Art Songs by the European Duo Chitarra Canta featuring soprano and flutist Meg Fitzgerald and classical guitarist Guido Böger. Having noted the dearth ofgood concert literature for this type of duo the performers both well-versed in the Celtic and Classical music traditions and adept at creating their own arrangements decided to include such songs in their programs. With thisvolume they want to share them with other performers and enthusiasts. These songs can be used equally well for the stage recitals pub singing and private events or for simple pleasure. The collection consists of a widevariety of songs the music being completely written out for voice and classical guitar but also with chords and annotations for a variety use. Featured here are such well-known songs as The Last Rose of Summer Siúil a Rúin orShe moved through the Fair along with many other lyrical gems in unique wonderfully inspired arrangements.
