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 four formats each with complete recordings and backing tracks on CD: as solo versions for violin flute or saxophone (with piano) and in an ensemble version for two melodic instruments (C Bb or Eb) piano guitar bass and bodhrán.

Three Little Nocturnes was composed by Hans Abrahamsen in 2005. Commissioned by the Cikada Ensemble with support from NOMUS and written for Frode Haltli and the Cikada String Quartet. Programme Note: In the first nocturne a slow falling music emerges on an irregular pulse filled with high harmonics in the strings. The second nocturne is fast and unrestful music with a lot of passion which in a moment runs into a glimpse of a tango. In this movement the accordion is employed in its traditional fashion using the chord bass with its ?oom-pah-pah? standard chords. The third nocturne is again slow indeed very slow and ithas German tempo and expression markings. The piece ends with a lullaby in the accordion played with an unusual technique imitating the string portato. This is accompanied by high harmonics in the strings while the first violin slowly and softly plays a melody from the second nocturne.Hans Abrahamsen
