Standard notation
and a
simple alpha-numerical
tablature system
are used to present this
unusual collection of
pre-18th Century tunes
for the standard
12/11-course
hammered dulcimer. Creating
a hybrid of folk
and classical elements,
Carol Koenig
has expanded the
repertoire of the
hammered dulcimer with
melodies from
France, Spain, England,
and Scotland. The
tunes are first
presented in a simple
melodic statement, then
in a more
complex harmonized
version. The author
insists that it is not
necessary to be an
outstanding sight reader
to make beautiful music
on the
hammered dulcimer, or
with this
book.
