This unique collection celebrates the contemporary fiddle music of northeast Ireland, much of it for the first time in print. Not surprisingly, given its location and long history of traditional music, the fiddle music of this region shares some characteristics with Scottish music, yet it has its own distinct style. For those who are not familiar with this ruggedly attractive part of Ireland, this book will introduce you to some of its music and musicians. The tunes presented here, collected by County Antrim fiddler, Rowan Leslie, have all been written relatively recently by local musicians. Each tune is offered in two versions?one with the barebones melody and suggested accompaniment chords, and a second with ornamentation, articulation and bowing details. All tune types from northeast Ireland are represented, including jigs and reels, polkas and hornpipes, marches, barn dances and waltzes, plus set dances and slow airs. Moreover, the biographical sketches and backstories provided for each composer and tune demonstrate how the land itself, along with personal experiences and relationships, influence the fiddle music of northeast Ireland.

The two volumes comprising Children's Singing Games were first published in 1894. They were collected by Cecil John Sharp (1859-1924) and Alice Bertha Gomme (1853-1938), both of whom were highly regarded for their work in recording and preserving folk music and lore during the last years of the nineteenth century. Gomme was also one of the first people to study children's games, publishing two volumes of The Traditional Games of England, Scotland, and Ireland.
Volume One of Children's Singing Games contains six musical games for infant or junior age children. They are sure to bepopular with today's children, having entertained countless generations before them!
