Arrangeur: David Overton. Par GALWAY JAMES. This collection of songs were written and arranged for Sir James Galway as concert pieces by David Overton, his longtime arranger. They are all based to some extent on traditional Irish Melodies. The first three are contrasting tunes: 'Spinning Song,” the beautiful slow melody 'She moved through the fair,” and the more up-tempo 'Star of the County Down.” These were so successful in the original flute and piano version, as printed here, that Overton was requested to write versions for strings and for orchestra, which were equally successful and have formed a regular part of Galway's concert repertoire. 'Badinereelerie” is more light-hearted work, first written for Sir James Galway in 1984. Since then, he has played it countless times as printed here, and in a version for flute and orchestra. The surprising mixture of Bach (and Handel and others) with reels and Irish traditional tunes, and even a few English traditional tunes thrown in for good measure, has delighted audiences all over the world. The piece's rousing conclusion includes an optional switch to penny whistle, a practice that Galway writes, 'I have always taken advantage of.”/ Recueil / Flûte Traversière et Piano

8 Easy To Intermediate Play-Alongs Of Well-Known Pieces From Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall And Brittany. Par DIVERS AUTEURS (ARR.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 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. / Niveau : Facile / Recueil / Flûte Traversière et Piano

Here is something new! Thirty-six lively flute duets based around five themes: food Irish traditional Hallowe'en animals and American traditional.

Duo was originally written for violin and piano but Sweeney intentionally left the instrumentation of the solo part open because he felt that the piece was more 'a rhythmic working-out of certain motivic ideas rather than the expression of a particular instrumental timbre'. Written in ternary form Duo is essentially a lively and exuberant exploration of the tonal relationships of a three-note cell F#-A-B within various keys and using ostinato and syncopated rhythmic techniques.Eric Sweeney studied at Trinity College Dublin and the Conservatorio di Santa Cecilia in Rome and is now Head of Music at Waterford Regional Technical College Ireland. Hismusical language underwent a radical change in the late 1980s abandoning his earlier style of extended tonality and free serialism and developing a personal form of minimalism by integrating elements of Irish traditional music. This stylistic shift in his compositional evolution was marked by two major works: Dance Music (1989) commissioned by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the cantata Diedre (1989).
