Corona Etude is a hopeful piece written during coronavirus lockdown. It uses rapid 2, 3 and 4-string crossings to create the sensation of multiple voices. The use of many open strings helps to create a full sound while being relatively easy to play. After players familiarize themselves with the notated version, they are encouraged to create their own realization using the sketch on the front cover. It has a folk-like feeling, while using a standard classical technique. It could be way to introduce students to the string crossings in solo Bach sonatas and partitas, and other standard literature. .

This unique collection celebrates the contemporary fiddle music of northeast Ireland, much of it for the first time in print. Not surprisingly, given its location and long history of traditional music, the fiddle music of this region shares some characteristics with Scottish music, yet it has its own distinct style. For those who are not familiar with this ruggedly attractive part of Ireland, this book will introduce you to some of its music and musicians. The tunes presented here, collected by County Antrim fiddler, Rowan Leslie, have all been written relatively recently by local musicians. Each tune is offered in two versionsone with the barebones melody and suggested accompaniment chords, and a second with ornamentation, articulation and bowing details. All tune types from northeast Ireland are represented, including jigs and reels, polkas and hornpipes, marches, barn dances and waltzes, plus set dances and slow airs. Moreover, the biographical sketches and backstories provided for each composer and tune demonstrate how the land itself, along with personal experiences and relationships, influence the fiddle music of northeast Ireland.
