Book Synopsis The Irish Dulcimer by : LOIS HORNBOSTEL

Download or read book The Irish Dulcimer written by LOIS HORNBOSTEL and published by Mel Bay Publications. This book was released on 1979-12-28 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This classic collection provides fretted dulcimer players with an authentic Irish repertoire. The 31 selections include jigs, slides, hornpipes, polkas, reels, slow airs, harp tunes, and songs. Accompaniment chords and musical notation are provided for other instruments. The modal music of Ireland fits well to the modal techniques and nuances of the dulcimer. It can drone like the uillean pipes, be rhythmic as a bodhran, and melodic like a fiddle. Lois gives the dulcimer player an important introduction to the techniques of applying Irish music to the dulcimer. Consider this the beginning of a new approach to an old music, and a point of departure for your own interpretations of tunes you love
