Celtic Music For Flute arranged by Jessica Walsh. For flute. Saddle stitch. Celtic, Irish and Folk. Beginner/Intermediate. Flute solo book and performance CD. Standard notation, chord names and introductory text. 38 pages. Duration 70 minutes. Published by ADG Productions (AD.ADG043-CD).

ISBN 1882146875. With standard notation, chord names and introductory text. Celtic, Irish and Folk. 9x12 inches.

Celtic Music For Flute by Jessica Walsh contains 44 tunes for flute which can be played solo or with a chord instrument. This great collection includes tunes from Scotland, Ireland, England, Wales, and the Isle of Man. The melodies were chosen from more than four hundred years of Celtic music. Most of the pieces have been extended with variations, which make the tunes a more suitable length for performances and are a lot of fun for the flutist to play. In addition, they will introduce the beginner to the joys of improvising in Celtic music, in which ornamenting and augmenting melodies is a tradition.Every tune in the book is included on the digitally mastered CD. Though the tunes are very effective as solo material, Jessica chose to record most of them with guitarist Allan Alexander. Allan has rendered the chords artfully, and the result is a really lovely CD which is a pleasure to listen to. For the player who is new to Celtic music, the recording will give insights into the melodies, and it will allow the flutist who has no access to a chord instrument to hear the harmonic progressions. For those who know and love these wonderful tunes, it will be a joy to hear them played by two musicians who obviously love to play this music together.

Celtic Music

This a wonderful compilation of Celtic flute music from all over the British Isles. The author not only gives you the main melody but a variation. The acompanying CD is a nice touch, also.

Lots of variety and fun.....

Great Celtic tunes that are well written and arranged. Simple keys with lots of variation of rhythm. Some fairly difficult sections, but doable, and learning these will make you a better player. Mostly written for the mid to lower range of the flute. The CD is nice to listen to...

PRETTY TUNES BUT MORE COMPLEX

These tunes are livelier and more complex than the songs in Celtic Music for Flute Volume II. Some of the rhythms can be challenging. But most of the songs are pretty and interesting enough that it's a challenge gladly taken on. I would suggest buying Volume II first. The songs...

Celtic Music

I am enjoying this book. I'm intermediate. I play with another flute player, a beginner, and she is going to order one. Easy to play and read.
