15 Easy to Intermediate pieces from 18th-century Ireland-The latest addition to the fast-growing 'Baroque Around the World' series is an Irish album consisting of fifteen haunting melodies by the legendary 18th-century Irish harpist Turlough O'Carolan.

Edward Bunting fell into his destiny when at the age of 19 he was commissioned to write down the tunes performed at a gathering of traditional harp players in Belfast in July 1792. This innocent beginning signaled the start of a 100-year process of enormous importance: the preservation of a country's music which otherwise might be lost forever. In time Bunting passed the torch to apprentice George Petrie who in turn became instrumental in founding the Society for the Preservation and Publication of the Melodies of Ireland which published Petrie's first collection in 1855. Finally it was Petrie's daughter who entrusted the much-honored Sir Charles Stanford with three boundvolumes of her father's work leading to the ultimate compilation published in 1905 of 1 582 traditional melodies — the musical wealth of a nation.Reprint of the three-volume The Complete Collection of Irish Music as Noted by George Petrie from the Original Manuscripts Irish Literary Society of London 1902 1905.

8 Easy To Intermediate Play-Alongs Of Well-Known Pieces From Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall And Brittany. Martin Tourish is an accordionist, composer and musicologist from Co. Donegal, now based in Dublin. Celtic music is in his blood, for his ancestors were noted collectors of dance music manuscripts dating back to the 19th century. With many recordings to his credit, he now offers his expertise to performers wishing to explore the rich culture of Irish and other Celtic music on a variety of instruments. 'World Music - Celtic” presents material from the Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Cornish and Breton traditions. It makes no great technical demands on the players, but Tourish points out that notation of this music is often 'skeletal”, hence it is important to gain a knowledge of the individual traditions in question and, naturally, he offers plenty of information on performance practice. The collection spans three centuries, from the blind bardic harpists of the 18th century to the international performers of the present day. Tourish accepts that this volume can only scratch the surface of a multi-faceted genre but hopes you will see it as a stepping stone to delve deeper into recordings, festivals and the very communities whence this music comes. 'World Music - Celtic” is available in eight formats, each with complete recordings and backing tracks on CD: as solo versions for violin, violoncello, flute, clarinet, saxophone, recorder or trumpet (with piano) and in an ensemble version for two melodic instruments (C, Bb or Eb), piano, guitar, bass and bodhrán. In addition to the alto recorder part, this edition also contains a part for soprano or tenor recorder. / Niveau : Facile à Intermédiaire / Recueil / Flûte à Bec Alto

Edward Bunting (1773 1843) the first systematic collector of Irish folksongs was educated as an organ and piano player in Belfast. His life's work fell upon him at nineteen years old when he was commissioned as a scribe to notate performances at a gathering of traditional harp players in Belfast in July 1792. He was so inspired by the music that aided by some of the harpers he embarked immediately upon travels around northwest Ireland to collect some of the old songs already close to disappearing. He published his first collection of Irish music four years later. In that volume and two later ones he published almost 300 airs—some of them according to tradition datingas far back as the tenth century—and practically single-handedly rescued his country's ancient music from oblivion.The present collection the last of Bunting's three such gatherings contains 151 Irish airs arranged for piano with the Irish names of the airs their authors and (where known) their dates of composition. Hard to find elsewhere this is an indispensable book not only for students or lovers of Irish music but also for students of general music history.Reprint of the Hodges and Smith Dublin 1840 edition.
