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.

Hans Christian Lumbye was born in Denmark in 1810 and has become known for his many light-hearted and airy works, most commonly waltzes, galops, polkas, mazurkas and marches. The Champagne Galop is without doubt one of the most performed works of this master from the North. De Deen Hans Christian Lumbye was een grote bewonderaar van de Weense orkestmuziek van Strauss en tijdgenoten. Ook Lumbye werd beroemd in dit genre en verwierf er zelfs zijn bijnaam ‘Strauss van het noorden’ mee. Lumbye is beroemdgeworden met zijn onbezorgde en lichte walsen, galops, polkas, mazurka’s en marsen. De Champagner-Galopp is zonder twijfel het meest gespeelde werk van deze meester uit het noorden.Der Däne Hans Christian Lumbye, ein großer Bewunderer der Wiener Orchestermusik von Strauss und Zeitgenossen, brachte es selbst in diesem Genre zu großem Ruhm und erwarb sich den Beinamen Strauss des Nordens“. Lumbye ist berühmt für seine unbeschwerten, leichten Werke, darunter Walzer, Galopps, Polkas, Mazurkas und Märsche. Der Champagner-Galopp ist zweifellos eines der meistgespielten Werke des Meisters des Nordens. Hans Christian Lumbye (1810-1874) est le talentueux fils d’un militaire danois. En 1839, il assiste au concert d’un orchestre viennois qui interprète des oeuvres de Johann Strauss et Joseph Lanner. Le jeune homme, fasciné par ce qu’il entend, décide de perpétuer le style et la tradition des maîtres viennois. Quelques mois plus tard, on le surnommera même le Strauss nordique“. Champagner- Galopp est sans aucun doute l’oeuvre la plus interprétée de ce compositeur danois.Il danese Hans Christian Lumbye, grande ammiratore della musica orchestrale viennese di Strauss e dei suoi contemporanei, divenne un compositore di successo di questo genere, guadagnandosi l’appellativo di “Strauss del Nordâ€. Lumbye è famoso per le sue opere in stile leggero, tra cui si annoverano valzer, polche, mazurche e marce. Champagner-Galopp è senza dubbio una delle opere più eseguite di Lumbye.
