IRISH FIDDLE MUSIC FROM COUNTIES CORK AND KERRY by Drew Beisswenger Photo
Book/CD set. The two southern most counties in Ireland, Cork and Kerry, have legendary music and dance traditions. On the border of these two counties, a rural area called Sliabh Luachra is especially well-known for its fiddle tunes. When speaking of this area's fiddle music, some describe a special lilt or backbeat, the special role of set dances, but the most often expressed quality relates to the frequent use of slides and polkas. This features 107 tunes as played by three of the region's most distinguished fiddlers: Padraig O'Keeffe, Denis Murphy, and Connie O'Connell. Each fiddler is profiled, followed by a collection of meticulously transcribed tunes and annotations. The CD includes 30 of these tunes played solo by Connie OConnell. Beginning/intermediate. 136 pp.
