By Capt. Francis O'Neill. For Fiddle. Celtic/Irish. Published by Mel Bay Publications, Inc
ISBN 9781609741426. Known as aThe Bible of Irish Music,a Mel Bayas facsimile edition contains the original 1903 collection of 1,850 melodies consisting of airs, jigs, reels, hornpipes, long songs, and marches for fiddle or practically any other melody instrument. Each of the bookas 360 pages presents 2 a 4 tunes in standard notation, together with stylistically appropriate ornamentation. Tune titles are given in Gaelic and in English with a few tunes appearing in two or three variations or asettings.a Intricate Celtic fonts similar to the cover illustration grace the main sections of this authoritative book. Famed Celtic harper, Turlough OaCarolan, is given his own segment entitled aOaCarolanas Compositions,a which includes many of his planxties or tribute songs. The book concludes with a comprehensive alphabetic listing of song titles.Piper, fiddler, flautist and twice selected Chief of the Chicago Police Department by two different mayors, Francis OaNeill (1848 a 1905), was born in Tralibane, near Bantry, County Cork Ireland and immigrated to the United States after being shipwrecked while serving as a cabin boy on an English merchant ship. Although he himself could not read or write music, he collected tunes from the burgeoning Irish community in Chicago as well as from many of the major performers of his era. He also recruited many Irish musicians to serve on the Chicago police force. OaNeill would learn tunes by ear on a tin whistle and later play them for his nephew, James, or one of his sergeants who were capable of writing them down. In this fashion, he saved some 3,500 Irish melodies for posterity.

Composed by Carlos De Lemos Almada. For Guitar (Classical). Brazilian. Intermediate. E-book and online audio. 32 pages. Published by Mel Bay Publications, Inc - Digital Sheet Music
ISBN 9781610651783. As one can easily imagine, it would be very hard for a guitar student to start reading the scores of the traditional choro repertoire, most of them with large number of technical difficulties. It would be much better if they could start with some easier pieces - of intermediate level - in order to be presented to the choro language in a more gradual and appropriate manner. That is the main goal of this book. It has 13 studies (in the 13 more commonly used keys for the choro guitar) written in a reduced form and in the principal stylistic choro variants: besides real choros, there are polkas, maxixes, Brazilian tangos and xotis. The more used and characteristic rhythmical figurations are present in each of the studies as the principal. Also aiming at the simplification of execution, all studies were composed with only two voices (melody and bass) and with no chords (although harmonies are quite evident due to the choro melodic particularities). Audio with all 13 studies is included.

ISBN 9781609744045. Historically, music composed specifically for the hammered dulcimer has been rare.

The book includes background about the people, places, and events that inspired each composition. While some pieces require a 16/15 chromatic dulcimer, many fit a 12/11. Melody lines are in standard notation with chord symbols. Many have variations with advanced ornamentation; some have alternate arrangements for four octave chromatic dulcimers. In addition to solos, there are six ensemble arrangements, including quartets, which are useful for groups and workshop teachers. While this collection is most appropriate for intermediate and experienced players, advanced beginners will be able to play some of the tunes. The collection includes originals from the Sam Rizzetta CDs Dulcimer Boogie, Saving Trees, Trapezoid, Flowing Waters, Oceana!aPSs Edge, Bucks and Does, and Seven Valleys.

Composed by Costel Puscoiu. For Trumpet. Classic. Multiple Levels. E-book. 44 pages. Published by Mel Bay Publications, Inc - Digital Sheet Music
ISBN 9781619112308. Great performers have proven that the trumpet can be successfully used for playing not only classic music, but also symphonic or chamber music from the classical, romantic or modern period just as well as any other musical instrument. No longer is contemporary repertoire considered unfit for the trumpet.Every sincere instrumentalist needs a regular study program. A daily practice of technical exercises and etudes is necessary for improving and maintaining the desired results. Regularly playing works of music should be the aim of every musician, amateur as well as professional. The best keys have been carefully chosen for trumpet and therefore many songs are not in the keys in which they were originally written. Also a number of other adaptations have been introduced to make the music more suitable for performance on the trumpet in B flat.The structure of the music has not been altered. Composers include: Mozart, Beethoven, Haydn, Praetorius, Corrette, Mozart, Handel, Bach, Hook, Lully, Boismortier, Schumann, Rameau, Saint-Saens, Purcell, and Martini. The piano accompaniment is available as a free download.
