The full range of traditional fiddle repertoire is now at your fingertips! Using these generous collections, you can create your own ceilidh, barn dance, jazz club or Sarajevo street-café. Some of this music is familiar, some more exotic, but all of it is absolutely authentic, faithfully arranged and, above all, hugely enjoyable. Each title in the series is available in two formats: the Violin Edition (with an optional easy violin part and guitar chords); or the Complete Edition, which also includes both keyboard and violin accompaniments. Either format is hugely flexible, which means themusic can be played as solos, duets or trios as well as with larger ensembles. Edward Huws Jones has travelled extensively researching fiddle-playing traditions. In each book he explains the background of the particular musical style, giving his own suggestions for a lively performance.

The over 425 reels, jigs, set-tunes, waltzes, marches, strathspeys, and airs transcribed from the playing of traditional fiddlers in this collection, represent a large portion of the current Island repertoire. It is believed that over 100 of these tunes have never been in print previously. Even the titles that have appeared in print before, feature new and intriguing details. Because each tune is a transcription of a specific performance by an individual player, many subtleties of style--such as ornamentation, double stops, and slursâ??are included. Also included are each playerâ??s melodic idiosyncrasiesâ??called twists in local parlance. You will find living, breathing versions of tunes filled with the vitality of a people whose great love for their music is expressed in every bow-stroke. Includes access to online audio.
