The Hammered Dulcimer Treasury of Tunes
MB99528 $25.00
|
|
|
This sizeable collection of hammered
dulcimer tunes brings together over 225 old-time and Celtic traditional
tunes that are commonly heard at gatherings of old-time musicians. This
is music that has been passed down vocally, or learned by ear instrumentally,
and derived from countries where many of our ancestors originated. Trying
to separate American and Celtic traditional music is an impossible task,
as so many of the tunes we consider our own are adapted versions of
tunes passed on to us from other countries and would fit into either
category. This book therefore features favorite selections from both
American and Celtic traditions.

Walking Stones MB97348 $8.95
|
|
|
Most of the tunes in this book are written
as simple melodic lines with suggested chords rather than as more complete
arrangements with harmony lines and variations. By contrast, on the
companion "Walking Stones" CD, considerable freedom is taken
with both the melody and its harmonization, encouraging the listener
to explore the tunes to create their own arrangements and variations
in the celtic tradition. As with most traditional music, it is difficult
to gather the true sense and feeling of these tunes without hearing
them; it is recommended that the delightful stand-alone companion CD
be used to ensure accuracy of interpretation and ease in learning.
