Summary of This Method
Designed for recorder players who wish to explore the traditional Celtic repertoire without facing complex keys, this book brings together a selection of themes renowned for their melodic charm and rhythmic vitality. You will find lyrical airs and lively dance tunes, chosen to stay within a comfortable range of the instrument and in easy-to-handle keys. The goal is clear: to enable playing quickly, well, and with pleasure, while developing fluency in reading and breath control.
The selection draws inspiration from reference collections of the Irish tradition (volumes by O'Neill and Roche), with particular attention paid to playability and respect for the spirit of the music from the Celtic lands. The included guitar chords make this collection especially practical for accompaniment: an asset for lessons, events, sessions with friends, or interpretation work (phrasing, ornaments, accentuation of dance beats). An excellent choice to enrich your recorder repertoire with lively, expressive, and immediately shareable music.
