The Sapphire is dedicated to Heath's daughter Naima Sapphire. On the day she was born in 2000 Heath was walking over the meadows in Edinburgh to see her and could hear bagpipes playing in the distance. That inspired him to write this piece.The melody and over-all style are influenced by Scottish traditional music however the harmonies come from modern jazz.

8 Easy To Intermediate Play-Alongs Of Well-Known Pieces From Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall And Brittany. Par DIVERS AUTEURS (ARR.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 four formats, each with complete recordings and backing tracks on CD: as solo versions for violin, flute or saxophone (with piano) and in an ensemble version for two melodic instruments (C, Bb or Eb), piano, guitar, bass and bodhrán. / Niveau : Facile / Recueil / Flûte Traversière et Piano

Following on from Jessica's hugely successful book Celtic Music for Flute she has produced a Volume 2 which contains 46 pieces ranging from lovely portraits to lively jigs. They come from traditions including Irish Scottish Welsh and Manx and were gathered from various sources: among others manuscripts written for Bagpipe Lute Mandora Fiddle and Voice. The unique personality and sound of the Flute complements them all. A few of the tunes are more than 400 years old; some are new. All have that inexplicable but necessary magic the quality which draws the flutist to begin the tune again just one more time...Whether a march lilt love song or lament eachmelody in this collection is a gem; many are sure to become cherished favorites. The accompanying Play-Along CD includes all the tunes in the same order in which they appear in the book. This CD features separate channels for Flute and Guitar so that the flutist can play along with the Guitar accompaniment. Allan Alexander artfully renders the chords on Guitar providing a harmonic tapestry over which the melodies float.
