This exceptional collection of 41 truly beautiful airs and ballads from the British Isles offers both well-known tunes by the prolific blind Irish harpist, Turlough Oâ??Carolan and rarely heard melodies by anonymous composers; all have stood the test of time. Arranged for soprano or tenor recorder, these include Oâ??Carolanâ??s classically influenced â??Lord Inchiquinâ? and â??Eleanor Plunkettâ? as well as â??O Gentle Doveâ? and â??Cuckoo Dearâ?â?? both examples of the strong tradition of song in Wales. Among other tunes, the haunting modal melodies of â??The Dark Slender Boyâ? and â??Enchanted Valleyâ? express the melancholic heart and soul of the British Isles.A few of these songs have taken on a life of their own in modern times. â??Bonny at Mornâ?, a popular traditional tune of northern England and Scotland, was arranged for soprano voice and harp by the 20th century British composer, Benjamin Britten. â??The Skye Boat Songâ? originally recounted Bonnie Prince Charles Edward Stuartâ??s journey to the Isle of Skye after his defeat at the historic Battle of Culloden. Later, the song evolved into a lilting lullaby and was more recently used as the theme song for the popular Outlander television series.Departing slightly from recorder notation practice, author Marcia Diehl has judiciously arranged these melodies complete with spare slur markings to aid the amateur player in authentically and musically rendering these tunes.

This collection of melodies offers a selection of the most attractive recorder tunes from the folk music of the Carpathian Basin, and also provides some insight into Romanian recorder music. Performances by folk musicians on the 6-hole folk recorder have been preserved on sound recordings and noted down by scholars. On this basis the editor has made practical transcriptions, in simplified notation. Material of this nature has up till now been unavailable to students and performing artists using modern wind instruments. This collection of unusual, nobly simple melodies and complex, virtuoso pieces is equally suitable for teaching purposes and for enlarging the repertoire ofinstrumental artists. Diese Melodiensammlung präsentiert eine Auswahl der schönsten Blockflötenmelodien der ungarischen Volksmusik im Karpatenbecken, gleichzeitig gewährt sie aber auch Einblicke in die rumänische Blockflötenmusik. Die Volksmusikanten spielen auf Hirtenflöten mit sechs Löchern, aus der Praxis gibt es Tonbandaufnahmen und wissenschaftlichen Ansprüchen gerechtwerdende Aufzeichnungen, auf deren Basis der Herausgeber praktische Transkriptionen mit vereinfachter Schriftweise fertigte. Bis jetzt hatten die auf den modernen Blasinstrumenten spielenden Schüler und professionelle Bläser in dieser Form keinen Zugang zu einem derartigen oder ähnlichem Stoff. Die Sammlung der außergewöhnlichen,in ihrer Einfachheit edlen Melodien und komplizierten virtuosen Stücke kann sowohl für pädagogische Zwecke als auch zur Bereicherung des Repertoires professioneller Musiker herangezogen werden.
