Here again is an assortment of tunes which I hope will give some pleasure to those who play them. Much of the work is written in traditional mode and should be treated as such. In other words whereas in classical pieces the player attempts to reproduce what the composer intended in traditional music it is up to the player to apply his/her own interpretation and personality to the work. If that interpretation happens to differ to what I intended it doesn't make it wrong it makes it personal to you and I have no doubt that in your hands at least it will come over better so feel free to change the odd note apply your own grace notes alter a chord here or there. Music is avery personal thing and traditional music perhaps even more so than other forms.

In his preface the author reminds the reader that this is not a book for the absolute beginner. Even the experienced player may not 'get it' on first reading a given tune but 'You can expect to enjoy the process oflearning...[and experience] the joy of recreating a traditional tune of making it your own.' This is the teacher/student pact in effect throughout this marvellous book written for the literary as much as the musical connoisseur.Although no classical Violin experience is needed you will need to know how to hold the Fiddle and bow and be able to play at least simple tunes in the first position.Having the ability to read music will enable you tofollow the bowing patterns and left-hand techniques which the author feels are crucial in grasping the playing style. Includes online audio download files featuring solo Fiddle. The teaching recording plays the first tunes slowly but by the end the correct speed is played. This stereo recording contains 77 of the 80 songs from the book.

Arrangeur: Martin Tourish. Martin Tourish is an accordionist, composer and musicologist from Co. Donegal, now based in Dublin. Celtic music is in his blood, for his ancestors were noted collectors of dance music manuscripts dating back to the 19th century. With many recordings to his credit, he now offers his expertise to performers wishing to explore the rich culture of Irish and other Celtic music on a variety of instruments. 'World Music - Celtic? presents material from the Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Cornish and Breton traditions. It makes no great technical demands on the players, but Tourish points out that notation of this music is often 'skeletal?, hence it is important to gain a knowledge of the individual traditions in question and, naturally, he offers plenty of information on performance practice. The collection spans three centuries, from the blind bardic harpists of the 18th century to the international performers of the present day. Tourish accepts that this volume can only scratch the surface of a multi-faceted genre but hopes you will see it as a stepping stone to delve deeper into recordings, festivals and the very communities whence this music comes. 'World Music - Celtic? is available in six formats, each with complete recordings and backing tracks on CD: as solo versions for violin, violoncello, flute, clarinet or saxophone (with piano) and in an ensemble version for two melodic instruments (C, Bb or Eb), piano, guitar, bass and bodhrán./ Recueil / Violoncelle et Piano
