About Irish Traditional Fiddle Music
Product Description 235 jigs, reels, hornpipes, slip jigs, slides, airs, and polkas. Faithful settings of traditional Irish tunes based on the live and recorded playing of Andy McGann, Julia Clifford, Denis Murphy, Paddy Cronin, Michael Coleman, Mairtin Byrnes, Sean Ryan, Paddy Canny, Antoin Mac Gabhann, and others. Includes extensive notes on the sources and tunes, a discography, and bibliography. Decorative wood engravings by the author. 3rd edition, revised and updated. Review "This new book represents one of the most considered publications of Irish traditional music ever to have been issued. Furthermore, this new edition appears in a handy format, spirally-bound to prevent wear and tear as one struggles with, say, those wretched low A notes in The New Policeman, and features not only Randy's own wood engravings as decoration (based on the Book of Kells), but also includes a new section providing information on the sources of the tunes. The tunes themselves are presented with utmost clarity and a special section explains the use of ornamentation, offering suggestions for ways, for instance, of playing the rolls in Paddy Ryan's Dream. Apart from O'Neill, if there's one tune book you must include in your collection, this is it! Frankly, it's the best Irish tune collection issued for many a long year." --Geoff Wallis, Musical Traditions Magazine --Musical Traditions Magazine "You've done a great job. I like your settings very much." --Martin Mulvihill, RIP, Irish fiddler and teacher --Letter to the authors About the Author Randy Miller is a fiddler, piano player, tune collector, and teacher.
