Following on from Jessica's hugely successful book Celtic Music for Flute, she has produced a Volume 2 which contains 46 pieces ranging from lovely portraits to lively jigs. They come from traditions including Irish, Scottish, Welsh, and Manx, and were gathered from various sources: among others, manuscripts written for bagpipe, lute, mandora, fiddle, and voice. The unique personality and sound of the flute complements them all. A few of the tunes are more than 400 years old; some are new. All have that inexplicable but necessary magic, the quality which draws the flutist to begin the tune again, just one more time...

Whether a march, lilt, love song, or lament, each melody in this collection is a gem; many are sure to become cherished favorites. The accompanying Play-Along audio includes all the tunes in the same order in which they appear in the book. This audio features separate channels for flute and guitar so that the flutist can play along with the guitar accompaniment. Allan Alexander artfully renders the chords on guitar, providing a harmonic tapestry over which the melodies float.

  • April 24, 2020 Love the duo...

    I loved everything about the music and the musicality of the instruments! The reason I gave 4 stars was because I was looking for a CD play-along that was similar to others I had recently purchased. According to the detail page, a flute player could play along with the...

    guitar by just "switching the stereo's balance". I think that technology is dated, as I was unable to do that with any of my CD players. If the publisher could record a separate track with guitar/accompaniment only, as many other companies do, I would be willing to buy that CD. It is perfectly enjoyable to play along with the flute player, but being unable to play as a true duo with guitar only was a let-down.

    This is the follow-up to the first Celtic Music book and it is a fantastic collection. I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to change up from their classical studies or jazz studies. After you have learned the music, you can easily mould and manipulate the speed and notes...

    for your taste... and it will still sound great. I play for various art and cultural societies around the city, and this is the music I get paid for. It's really amazing:) Adults and children, especially, love the lilting and easy-listening style of this music, and I absolutely love playing the songs.

    What great music and a wonderful learning tool. Some songs are a bit challenging, but the extra practice is well worth it. I would highly recommend both volume l and 2.
