This exceptional collection of 41 truly beautiful airs and ballads from the British Isles offers both well-known tunes by the prolific blind Irish harpist, Turlough Oâ??Carolan and rarely heard melodies by anonymous composers; all have stood the test of time. Arranged for soprano or tenor recorder, these include Oâ??Carolanâ??s classically influenced â??Lord Inchiquinâ? and â??Eleanor Plunkettâ? as well as â??O Gentle Doveâ? and â??Cuckoo Dearâ?â?? both examples of the strong tradition of song in Wales. Among other tunes, the haunting modal melodies of â??The Dark Slender Boyâ? and â??Enchanted Valleyâ? express the melancholic heart and soul of the British Isles.A few of these songs have taken on a life of their own in modern times. â??Bonny at Mornâ?, a popular traditional tune of northern England and Scotland, was arranged for soprano voice and harp by the 20th century British composer, Benjamin Britten. â??The Skye Boat Songâ? originally recounted Bonnie Prince Charles Edward Stuartâ??s journey to the Isle of Skye after his defeat at the historic Battle of Culloden. Later, the song evolved into a lilting lullaby and was more recently used as the theme song for the popular Outlander television series.Departing slightly from recorder notation practice, author Marcia Diehl has judiciously arranged these melodies complete with spare slur markings to aid the amateur player in authentically and musically rendering these tunes.

Darkness Fades Away is written as an accessible song for young voices that speaks to our hopes for a kinder and more empathetic world. The melody utilizes a subtle meter change from 2 /4 to 3/4 in order to emphasize the second beat and allow it space to grow into the next note. When the optional counter-melody is introduced, the rhythm relies on an off-beat pattern, but be sure not to accent those notes. Both melody and counter-melody are meant to flow gently with a little movement throughout. Note the repeated use of a 7th (low sol to fa) to introduce the main motif. The ending section grows to its climax (m. 80-82) with optional notes for higher voices that feel comfortable in that range. After the voices echo and repeat the main theme, the rallentando and subsequent caesura (m. 104-106) allow for some freedom in direction until the piano reinforces the original tempo before itself fading away.Darkness Fades Away is written as an accessible song for young voices that speaks to our hopes for a kinder and more empathetic world.
