MUSIC FROM THE BRITISH ISLES. Raccolta di motivi arie e danze folkloristiche britanniche. Oltre a titoli conosciuti come "scarborought fair" e "greensleeves" troverete altri 50 brani completi, con i quali vi immergerete in un antico tempo. Buona parte delle melodie irlandesi di questa edizione sono state composte da un arpista cieco, vissuto intorno al 1725. Le canzoni e danze inglesi provengono invece dalla grande epoca del liuto inglese, tra il 1600 e il 1700, di cui J.Dowland fu il più alto esponente. Le danze scozzesi hanno un particolare stile e Brahms utilizzò in un suo pezzo per piano, una di queste. Tutti i titoli sono stati reperiti tra le polverose scartoffie di biblioteche abbandonate e sono suddivisi per ceppi etnici; irlandese, inglese, scozzese. CD TABLATURE
Irish Tunes
It's by chance or luck that I've written this section of Irish tunes, I was visiting Galway, Ireland, in 1979 and I stepped into a music store and purchased two small books of Irish fiddle tunes by Ted Furey, As I sat in my hotel room, I harmonized the melodies in simple settings. I really enjoyed the music. I heard a knock on the door, and it was another traveller who had heard my playing. She said she had been trying to hear some authentic Irish music. I had to laugh, but that was the start of this section. Most of the tunes presented here were originally for the Irish harp - melodies composed by the blind harper Turlough O'Carolan, who lived ·around 1725. All that has come down to us are just the melodies. I have no doubt that O'Carolan harmonized them; I've tried to arrange these tunes in an authentic style. Another great Irish harper, Roy D'All O'Cahan from 1650, wrote the air "O'Moore's Fair Daughter." The remaining tunes are jigs, reels, and hornpipes. These are popular country dances. The source of most of these tunes is the famous O'Neil Collection published at the turn of the century by Chicago Chief of Police Francis O'Neil. The "Irish Suite" by O'Carolan works very well in concert and is sure to please! The music in this section abounds with originality and the spirit of the Irish Land.
