Par VOSS RICHARD. Turlough O'Carolan est né dans le comté de Meath en Irlande en 1670. Il a été formé comme un jeune à jouer de la harpe et tout au long de sa vie composé un grand nombre de chansons. O'Carolan a développé un style personnel, contenant les éléments mélodiques de musique irlandaise de folk, la musique de harpe courtois et la musique baroque italienne. Musique de O'Carolan n'a été publiée au cours de sa vie - donc, diverses versions de ses mélodies ont été prononcées par le biais de la tradition aural. On ne sait pas aussi comment il accompagne ses mélodies. Cette collection présente 35 mélodies préférées de O'Carolan facilement jouables, animés d'accords de piano. Ce nombre comprend trois mélodies originales par Richard Voss inspiré par et dans le style du maître au début. / Niveau : Débutant à Intermédiaire / Celtic/Irish - Solos / Recueil / Piano

Par JONES STEPHEN. This is not just another book of Irish session tunes. It represents the relatively unknown repertoire of a single Irish traditional musician, Packie Manus Byrne of Donegal. There has been considerable interest in the music of Donegal over the past 10 years or so, especially with the rise of groups such as Altan. Packie Manus Byrne is a familiar name to traditional-music lovers in Ireland and the UK, where he enjoyed a successful career as a folk performer for more than 20 years. Almost all these tunes were being played in Packie's home area between 1925 and 1935 - the collection is thus something of a 'time capsule' with a unity of origin and style that sets it apart from other collections. The 85 genuine old traditional tunes are being made public for the first time. This unique collection, with all the background information and stories, gives the reader a real sense of the community out of which the music came and the characters who played it. Suitable for fiddle, tin whistle, flute and other traditional instruments. The CD includes 33 of the tunes performed by Jean Duval, Stephen Jones, Johanne St. Laurent, Lynda Dowker, and Reinhard Görner on a variety of instruments. / Niveau : Débutant à Intermédiaire / Celtic/Irish - Songbooks / Recueil / Tout Instrument
