DESCRIPTION:
"Bought on a whim, definitely not regretted" according to Anonymous. I couldn't preview the book so I was originally skeptical but I bought it because it was cheap. It lacks chords unlike a lot of the Irish music books I've bought, but it has a nice selection of tunes I haven't really heard of but which sound nice. It lacks pretty much any ornamentation which I actually like. The music is printed very clearly and is very easy to read.. Lora said Super useful!. So many common and useful tunes! For fiddle players, there are no bowing markings, however, so for authentic bowing techniques, you must supplement that yourself.. the tunes yet but it looks to be a good tune book Not played through all the tunes yet but it looks to be a good tune book.
Songs include: Dan the Cobbler * Open the Door * Miss Monaghan * Dunphy's * The Orange Rogue * Anach Cuain * and many more.. The "green book" includes jigs, reels, hornpipes, set dances, slow airs and more, in simple form for musicians of all levels. This series contains over 100 Irish dance tunes and airs in each volume. The range of the tunes are particularly suitable for the fiddle, but can be used on other instruments. (Music Sales America). Ideal for the pennywhistle, tinwhistle, flute or pipes. The collections contain a varied selection of widely played and lesser-known tunes, divided into different dance rhythms, and then sorted into sets of similar tunes to be played at Irish sessions
