20 Celtic Tunes for the Bowed Psaltery
About
This book contains twenty traditional Celtic tunes arranged for the bowed psaltery or other C instrument such as the recorder, penny whistle, and fiddle. Some songs are in the original key with the addition of a version transposed into the key of C which is easier for the bowed psaltery. Songs include music from Ireland, Wales, Scotland, and Galicia. Several of them were composed by Turlough O'Carolan. This music was selected not only because it plays well on the bowed psaltery, but because some of these tunes are not well known and deserve to be heard more often. Not many books of music for the psaltery are available, and here is an opportunity to expand your repertory.
Praise for this book
“Very good music book for the psaltery or other treble instrument. The music is easy to read and also gives each note by name to help those who aren't music reader. And cords are also given for added enrichment. Bolton has collect a very nice book full of Celtic tunes here. I have really enjoyed playing songs from this book on my psaltery.”
