Today the cello is usually considered a classical instrument but from the late 17th to early 19th centuries it was used in folk ensembles to provide low driving rhythms for dance tunes and to render haunting Scottish airs.Within the folk music revival of the past forty years there has been a small but dedicated movement to restore the unique richness of the cello to traditional music and Abby Newton has been on the forefront of that movement. Abbyhas been deeply involved with Scottish music ever since traveling to and performing in Scotland many times. The airs planxties and reels in this book come from traditional and contemporary sources including the 18th-centuryfiddler Neil Gow harper Turlough O'Carolan Daithi Sproule David Hornung Alasdair Fraser Ronnie Aimes and others. All 19 of the tunes are written for solo cello with chord symbols included on most tunes for an accompanyinginstrument. The text also includes the author's notes on the origin of each tune.

A fresh approach-* An approach based on self-learning and recognition of rhythmic and melodic patterns * Original tunes rather than abstract sight-reading exercises * 237 carefully graded pieces in a range of musical styles * Nine sections ranging from open strings to extensions and slurs * Each section concludes with a set of duets and accompanied pieces for practice of ensemble sight-reading * Tunes progress to all key signatures up to four sharps and three flats * Preliminary towards grade 4

This composition was written quickly in a matter of days however the composer describes the longer process of writing the piece as unconscious preparation. There are opposite elements on display within the piece fragile coloristic passages give birth to energetic events with clear rhythmic and melodic charachter.More sharpely focused figures pass through different transformations then finally merge back to less dynamic but no less intensive filigration. In bringing these compositional elements together and by forcing opposite modes of expression the composer has aimed to force the listener to stretch their own sensibility. Work for Cello and Electronics which waspremiered by Anssi Karttunen at the Musica Nova Festival Bremen in May 1988.

Par NEWTON ABBY. Aujourd'hui le violoncelle est habituellement considéré comme un instrument classique, mais la fin XVIIe au début du XIXe siècle, il a été utilisé dans des ensembles folkloriques à fournir des rythmes faibles, conduites danse tunes et à rendre haunting airs écossais. Au sein de la Renaissance de la musique folklorique du passé quarante ans il y a eu un mouvement petit mais dédié à restaurer la richesse unique du violoncelle à la musique traditionnelle et Newton Abby a été à l'avant-garde de ce mouvement. Abby a été profondément impliqué avec la musique écossaise depuis, voyageant à et d'effectuer, en Ecosse, plusieurs fois. Les airs, les planxties et les bobines, cet ouvrage proviennent de sources traditionnelles et contemporaines, y compris le violoneux du XVIIIe siècle Neil Gow, harper Turlough O'Carolan, Daithi Sproule, David Hornung, Alasdair Fraser, Ronnie Aimes et autres. Tous les 19 de la mélodie sont écrites pour violoncelle solo avec corde symboles inclus sur la plupart des airs pour un instrument d'accompagnement. Le texte comprend également des notes de l'auteur sur l'origine de chaque morceau. / Niveau : Débutant à Intermédiaire / Scottish - Transcribed Solos / Recueil / Violoncelle

Arrangeur: 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 six formats, each with complete recordings and backing tracks on CD: as solo versions for violin, violoncello, flute, clarinet or saxophone (with piano) and in an ensemble version for two melodic instruments (C, Bb or Eb), piano, guitar, bass and bodhrán./ Recueil / Violoncelle et Piano
