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.
