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.

Welcome to Ireland, the country where the traditional music is as varied as the landscape! Marc Jeanbourquinâ??s Irish Fantasy starts in a carefree and lively fashion from County Galway, then strolls through the moorlands of Kerry in a slower, lyrical movement with room for a solo, and comes to rest in Cork, with high-spirited and up-tempo folk tunes, and an accompaniment reminiscent of the bagpipes.

Ierland heeft - naast een veelvoud aan prachtige landschappen - een rijke muzikale traditie. In dit werk verwerkte de componist beide elementen en steekt van wal met een indruk van het opgewekte County Galway om dan door de venen van Kerry te wandelen, begeleid door een langzame optionele solo voor trombone en trompet. In Cork mag de doedelzak natuurlijk niet ontbreken en breekt een heus dansfeest los met de typische Ierse folkmuziek!

Marc Jeanbourquins Irische Fantasieâ?? beginnt in einem unbeschwerten, lebhaften Stil im County Galway, streift dann die Moorlandschaften von Kerry in einem langsameren, liedhaften Satz, der Raum fu?r ein Solo bietet, und endet in Cork, wo u?bermu?tige, schwungvolle irische Folk-Melodien mit an Dudelsack erinnernden Begleitungen angesagt sind.
