The Fiddler's Tune-Book

THE

FIDDLER'S

TUNE BOOK

Fiddle Music Book

When first printed in two books during the fifties, this generous selection of some of the finest airs in the British Isles went on to become a landmark in the history of traditional music publishing and, as a result, the repertoires of innumerable musicians became strengthened and enriched; one can only speculate on the huge influence those musicians then must have had on the embellishment and continuing development of traditional music.

Now brought together in one convenient volume with chords added, this edition of The Fiddler's Tune-Book is sure to be welcomed not only by those same musicians, but also by the succession of younger traditional players eager to plunder this legendary treasure chest of timeless melodies. Complete with index with alternative titles, introduction by Peter Kennedy.
