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

Par PELLEGRINO MICHEL. Le Brésil est le plus grand état de l\'Amérique latine et sa population se caractérise par une grande diversité ethnique et culturelle. Sa musique est donc d\'une grande richesse grâce à ce triple héritage : américain, européen et africain. On ne saurait limiter la musique brésilienne à la samba ou à la bossa-nova qui sont récentes. Au Brésil, chaque région possède une tradition musicale qui lui est propre. Volume 1 : Aux origines du Brésil Nous vous proposons dans ce recueil une découverte du pays et un voyage dans le temps depuis les premiers chants amérindiens jusqu\'aux airs du début du XXe siècle. Allons-nous promener avec les indiens d\'Amazonie à l\'ouest, les gauchos au nord et \'nordeste\', les noirs de la côte est, arpenter les chemins de la forêt amazonienne jusqu\'au Carnaval de Rio, des pampas aux plantations de café, en passant par les rivages de Bahia, les salons huppés de la Belle Epoque au Brésil. Presse Ces deux volumes sont une invitation à approfondir ses connaissances sur la foisonnante musique brésilienne : apprendre à distinguer ses racines européennes, africaines ou amérindiennes, à connaître ses genres fondateurs et découvrir l\'apport des compositeurs - Chiquinha Gonzaga, Joachim Callado, Ernesto Nazareth, Viriaro Figueira, Patapio Silva, Zequinha de Abreu, Joa Pernanbuco etc. - qui amalgamèrent cette mosaïque de styles et de traditions musicales et créèrent ainsi une musique aux rami?cations multiples d\'une richesse et d\'une complexité uniques. Dans le volume 1, après avoir donné plusieurs exemples musicaux - chants des indiens d\'Amazonie, chants de vaqueíros (vachers), premiers chants de carnaval, la danse Lundu dont le lascif déhanché scandalisait les âmes bien pensantes - M. Pellegrino cite les premières formes musicales fondatrices : la Modinha, la Maxixe (le tango brésilien), le Choro, le Sertanejo, le Forro, le Baiao. Le volume 2 réunit des pièces caractéristiques des compositeurs qui enrichirent cette musique en amalgamant les premières in?uences - amérindiennes, africaines, européennes - aux rythmes des danses venues d\'Europe telles que les polkas, mazurkas, valses ou scot?sh. Ces deux ouvrages contiennent beaucoup d\'informations musicologiques ainsi que des biographies succinctes des compositeurs et des textes musicaux harmonisés - de quoi aiguiser votre désir d\'en savoir plus sur cette musique et de mieux connaître les ?uvres de ces compositeurs qui sont les précurseurs dela samba et de la bossa nova.

Par USHER ALEX. Children's Song Favorites is a collection of 75 songs for children of all ages, most of them from the folk tradition. They have been collected over more than fifty years by a professional folk singer, who is also a mother and grandmother. Each song has the melody line, complete lyrics and suggested accompaniment chords for guitar or other instrument. Many of them are unusualand#151 - for example, all 13 verses of 'The Three Blind Mice,' 'Hail to Britannia' (a British nursery rhyme song), and for older children, 'Chopo, My Pony' (a cowboy song), 'Old Thompson's Mule' (of minstrel origin) and 'The Housewife's Lament.' Audience requests have persuaded the author to include two pieces she has writtenand#151 - 'The Doll Song' and 'The Solution to Pollution.' More than three-quarters of the songs involve audience participation, making this an ideal repertory resource for teachers and youth leaders. A few descriptive sentences, sometimes with suggestions for creative activity, precede each song. The songs are arranged alphabetically, and an extra table of contents lists the songs by categories: animals, cowboys and the West, creative activity, dance tunes, history, holidays, quiet time, and teaching. Although this book was designed primarily for children, the author regularly uses many of these songs with grown-up audiences. / Niveau : Débutant / Children's - Songbooks / Recueil / Tout Instrument

Argentinean tango composer Bandoneon player and arranger Astor Piazzolla’s oeuvre revolutionized the traditional tango into a new style termed ‘nuevo tango’ incorporating elements from jazz and classical music and new instruments such as the Saxophone and Electric Guitar. The leaner more fluid musical style with simpler more continuous forms is exemplified perfectly in Libertango. The title which merges the words ‘libertad’ (liberty) and ‘tango’ symbolizes Piazzolla's break from classical tango to tango nuevo.Originally composed for the bandoneon here Libertango is transcribed for solo Piano by RossanoSportiello. This fast paced (quarter note = 152) piece by the world's foremost composer of tango music is a guaranteed success with audiences and performers alike!
