Description An interesting book with many great titles and marvelous history which will be great fodder for your introductions of the tunes. With a few changes here and there you can make these arrangements your own. Chord changes are included. I would purchase this book for the repertoire (for example, it contains the very beautiful Da Slockit Light and even has a harmony part for it), and for the short history lesson that precedes many of the tunes. I would change around the notes here and there to suit my ear, especially some of the left hand notes. (Mary) The music is very readable, repertoire is superb. Tunes are divided into these categories: Sweden Connection, Dr. John Turner, John Playford, Tom Anderson, Music of Christmas. Tunes include: Alasdair Fraser/Caluim Sgaire Annas Vista Leif Gorás Ballydesmond Polka Battle Cry of Munster, Air Battle Cry of Munster, March Brave Wolfe Brave Wolfe – Lyrics Breton Dance Caluim Sgaire Casadh an tSugain (Twisting of the Hayrope) Christmas Eve Air Christmas Hornpipe Coilsfield House Coilsfield House and Neil Gow Colyn Fischer’s Style Da Slockit Light Don Oiche Ud I mBeithil (That Night in Bethlehem) Don Oiche Ud I mBeithil (That Night in Bethlehem) – Lyrics Fingal’s Cave Fingal’s Cave John Gow Gelding of the Devil Green Gates Ha a Chaillich air mo dheidh (My Old Wife Haunts After Me) Ian S.
