Celtic Autoharp Book/CD Set. (35 Celtic tunes arranged for all standard Autoharps using notation and tablature). By Karen Mueller. For Autoharp/Chromaharp. Solos. Celtic/Irish. Multiple Levels. Book/CD Set. 56 pages. Published by Mel Bay Publications, Inc (MB.95529BCD). ISBN 9780786608539. Celtic/Irish. 8.5x11 inches. This collection of 35 Celtic tunes represents ten different performance styles from Ireland, Scotland, Wales and Brittany. The majority of these pieces are dance tunes such as the jigs and reels popular at Irish sessions, the informal gatherings of musicians in pubs, community halls, and homes. Although relatively new to the session ensemble, the autoharp bears a distinct resemblance to the Irish folk harp. Fittingly, this collection includes harp tunes by famed Irish harpist Turlough O'Carolan as well as other slow airs. All of the pieces in this book have been arranged to be played on any standard 15 or 21-bar chromatic autoharp in either melodic or rhythmic (backup) style. A melody line with suggested chord accompaniment is included so other instrumentalists can easily join in. The book's companion CD includes performances of all 35 selections, ably illustrating the rhythmic and stylistic nuances of this engaging music. In notation and tablature.

The Complete Irish Fiddle Player

The Complete Irish Fiddle Player by Peter Cooper. For Fiddle. Solos. Complete. Celtic/Irish. Multiple Levels. Book. 158 pages. Published by Mel Bay Publications, Inc (MB.95406). ISBN 9780786603299. Celtic/Irish. 8.75x11.75 inches. In his preface, the author reminds the reader that this is not a book for the absolute beginner. Even the experienced player may not "get it" on first reading a given tune, but "You can expect to enjoy the process of learning... [and experience] the joy of recreating a traditional tune, of making it your own." This is the teacher/ student pact in effect throughout this marvelous book, written for the literary as much as the musical connoisseur. Although no classical violin experience is needed, you will need to know how to hold the fiddle and bow, and be able to play at least simple tunes in the first position. Having the ability to read music will enable you to follow the bowing patterns and left-hand techniques which the author feels are crucial in grasping the playing style.
