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 O??Carolan and rarely heard melodies by anonymous composers; all have stood the test of time. Arranged for soprano or tenor recorder, these include O??Carolan??s classically influenced ??Lord Inchiquin? and ??Eleanor Plunkett? as well as ??O Gentle Dove? and ??Cuckoo Dear??? both examples of the strong tradition of song in Wales. Among other tunes, the haunting modal melodies of ??The Dark Slender Boy? and ??Enchanted Valley? 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. ??Bonny at Morn?, a popular traditional tune of northern England and Scotland, was arranged for soprano voice and harp by the 20th century British composer, Benjamin Britten. ??The Skye Boat Song? originally recounted Bonnie Prince Charles Edward Stuart??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.

In Dublin Dances Jan Van der Roost has combined three well-known traditional Irish melodies to form an attractive medley. The medley contains Brian Boru’s March, a melody made popular by worldfamous flautist James Galway, followed bythe atmospheric tune The Minstrel Man and, as a cheerful finale, The Irish Washerwoman. Add a little magic from the Emerald Isle to your concert with this rousing medley. In deze ‘Ierse rapsodie’ put de componist uit de rijke schat aan Ierse volksmuziek en rijgt hij drie bekende melodieën aaneen tot een fraai geheel. De eerste melodie, Brian Boru’s March, krijgt een verfrissende opknapbeurt,trommels en fluiten spelen daarbij een belangrijke rol. Dan volgt de melodie van The Minstrel Man, sfeervol gebracht door diverse instrumenten en met een sobere maar treffende harmonisatie omkaderd. Als ‘uitsmijter’ is erhet opgewekte The Irish Washerwoman - deze vrolijke finale besluit dit muzikale bezoek aan het oneindig groene eiland.In Dublin Dances verknüpfte Jan Van der Roost drei bekannte Melodien zu einem ansprechenden Ganzen: Brian Borus’s March, bekannt vor allem durch den Flötisten James Galway, ist geprägt von Flöten und Trommeln; dann folgt The Minstrel Man, ein stimmungsvolles Lied, das in mehreren Instrumentierungen erscheint und schließlich - als Clou - The Irish Washerwoman im typisch irischen 6/8-Takt als fröhliches Finale dieses musikalischen Besuchs auf der ewig grünen Insel.Pour créer cette rhapsodie irlandaise, Jan Van der Roost a puisé dans la richesse de la musique traditionnelle irlandaise. Dublin Dances (“Danses de Dublin”) rassemble trois célèbres mélodies qui forment le canevas de l’œuvre.La première mélodie, Brian Boru’s March, a fait le tour du monde dans les années 1980, gr ce l’interprétation du brillant fl tiste James Galway. Dublin Dances en offre une version nouvelle, pleine de fraîcheur. Ancrée dans la tradition de la musique irlandaise, la place accordée aux fl tes et la percussion apparaît comme une évidence.La seconde mélodie, The Minstrel Man, s’appuie sur une superbe courbe qui chemineavec fluidité entre divers instruments. L’harmonisation qui la sous-tend est d’une étonnante, mais somptueuse sobriété.Point culminant de la structure, le pétillant rythme de danse de l’air The Irish Washerwoman écrit en 6/8, un chiffrage de mesure souvent utilisé dans la musique irlandaise. Ce brillant et virevoltant finale clôt ce voyage musical dans l’éternelle île verte où musique et sociabilité sont unies par un lien indéfectible.

An Irish Legend contains original melodies in an Irish style, written to evoke the sounds of the emerald isle of Ireland. The piece is in traditional ABA form, beginning with a lilting Irish jig, then a more lyrical and slow second theme. After returning to the jig, it ends with a climactic section where both themes are played together. It sounds much more difficult than it plays. The piece is exciting and will be well within the capabilities of students at this grade level.
