Ceol na Fidhle Volume One

An extensive collection of Highland fiddle tunes popularly played in Scotland today.

This series of books was the first to make available the music of the bagpipes in easily accessable and readable settings for fiddle. Fiddlers have always been interested in the bagpipe repertoire but found the notation in the bagpipe books difficult to read due to lack of key signatures and pipe grace notes which have their own interpretation when played on the fiddle. In making the fiddle arrangements of these tunes such eminent pipers as John D. Burgess, Norman Gillies and Duncan Macgillivray were consulted regarding appropriate grace notes and interpretation of the spirit of pipe tunes played on the fiddle. The result is an amazing collection of the most popular pipe tunes in good fiddle settings (this material is also suitable for all melody instruments). As well as the bagpipe tunes are ancient airs from early collections, Gaelic song airs and contemporary material by fine composers such as Bobby MacLeod, Freeland Barbour, Addie Harper. This is the music that has been popularised by such leading bands as Alasdair Fraser’s Skyedance, Capercaillie, Burach, Daimh etc and toured worldwide to represent Scottish music in all corners of the world. Includes basic bowings for fiddlers and chords for guitar or other accompanists and a great selection of 2/4 Pipe Marches, 6/8 Pipe Marches, Jigs, Reels, Slow airs, Hornpipes, Polkas, Strathspeys etc. More than 80 tunes in each book with most of them not available in fiddle settings in any other publication. 52pp Contents/ An Clar-Innse ---- Fonn Mall / Slow Airs ---- A Mhairi Bhan Og, The Aran Boat Song, Braigh Loch Iall (The Banks of Locheil), Caidil gu La (Sleep on till day), Cha bhi mi gad thaladh (I will not be singing you a lullaby), Cha till mis a' seòladh (South Georgia Whaling Song), Chi mi na mor-bheanna (Mist-covered Mountains), Crodh Chailein (Colin's Cattle), Cumhna Mhic Shimidh (Lord Lovat's Lament), The Dark Island, Donald McPherson's Lament, The Flower of the Quern, Gradh Geal mo Chridhe (The Eriskay Love Lilt), Huntingtone Castle, John Roy Lyall, Laoidh Chaluim Chille (The Sound of Mull), Loch Liobhan (Loch Leven), Mackenzie's Farewell to Sutherland, Mo Dhachaigh (The Song of Home), My Own Land, Neil Gow's Farewell to Whisky, Neil Gow's Lament for his 2nd Wife, The Road to Balintore, Ros Fhiadhaich nam Beann (The Wild Rose of the Mountain), 'Se Gaol a' bhodaich Fionnlagh (Finlay is his Father's Darling), Sine Bhan,Soraidh Slan le Fionnairidh (Farewell to Fuinary), Till an Crodh Faidh an Crodh (Milking Song), Tuireadh Iain Ruaidh (Iain Ruaridh's Lament). ---- Port Mairsdidh / Marches ---- The Athole Highlanders, Australian Ladies, The Balmoral Highlanders, The Camerons of Sheildaig, The Conundrum, Corriechoillie's Welcome to the Northern Meeting, The Drunken Piper, The Earl of Cromarty, Father John MacMillan of Barra, The Hen's March o'er the Midden, Highland Wedding, The Hills of Glenorchy, The Inverness Gathering, John D Burgess, John MacFadyen of Melfort, Leaving Glen Urquhart, MacLeod of Mull, The McNeils of Ugadale, Mr & Mrs A Ross, Mrs H L MacDonald of Dunach, The Pibroch of Domhnall Dubh, 79th's Farewell to Gibraltar, The Skye Gathering, The Sprig of Ivy, The Sweet Maid of Glendaurel, 10th HLI Crossing the Rhine.

Combined Ceol na Fidhle Volumes Five & Six

Another great selection of Highland fiddle and pipe tunes both old and new. It contains a wealth of tunes musicians have been looking for and couldn’t find!

This volume was issued ten years after finishing the original four volumes. After finding that I had collected a great many more pipe tunes over the intervening years and, as they were such good tunes, a further book was warranted to make these available to all the fiddlers and others out there looking for more good Highland tunes to play. Great strathspeys, reels, jigs, hornpipes, marches and airs some of which have been made popular by Capercaillie, Wolfstone, Blazin' Fiddles and other touring bands. Suggested bowings and chords for accompanists are included as well as metronome markings as a guide to the speeds. These represent some of the best Scottish pipe tunes being played today in Scotland. 100pp Contents/ An Clar-Innse ---- Fonn Mall / Slow Airs ---- An Eala Bhan, An t-Eilean Muileach, An t-Iarla Diurach, Canan nan Gaidheal, The Carmylie Rose, Chailin Duinn a' Chuailein Reidh, Duanag an t-Seoladair, Eilean Beag Donn a' Chuain, Eilean Idhe, Eilean Mo Ghaoil, Far an Robh mi Raoir, Gleann Baile Chaoil, Heather Island, Ho-ri ho-ro mo nionag, Leaving Stoer, Macleod's Oran Mor, Margaret Ann Robertson, Mi 'n seo nam aonar, Mo Chailin Dileas Donn, Nathaniel Gow's Lament for the Death of his Brother, Nighean Donn a' Chuailein Riomhaich, Nighean Donn nan Gobhar, Oidhche Mhath Leibh, The Osprey, The Piper's Weird, Prince Charlie's Last View of Scotland, Roslin Castle, Thug mi gaol don fhear bhan, Tog Orm Mo Phiob . ---- Seatadh Cuirn / Hornpipes ---- Fiona Ferguson, Joe MacGann's Fiddle, John MacKenzie's Fancy, Jim Tweedie's Sealegs, Sandy's New Chanter, Pipe Major George Allan. ---- 6/8 Port Mairsdidh / Marches ---- All the Blue Bonnets are over the Border, Ben Gullion, Bonnets o' Blue, The Braes of Mellinish, Brigadier Snow, Bruachan Mhellinis, Cuidich 'n Righ, Donald MacLennan of Broadford's Welcome to Edinburgh, Jeannie Mauchline, John Bain MacKenzie's Sister's Wedding, Kenneth J.

Combined Ceol na Fidhle Volumes One & Two

Fiddle and bagpipe tunes from the Scottish Highland repertoire.

"The Fiddle Music of the Scottish Highlands” - used here as a joint title with Ceol na Fidhle for non Gaelic speakers and so called because the majority of tunes in these books have been taken from the Highland Bagpipe repertoire. Many of the pipe marches, reels and jigs included in this collection were composed by pipers attached to the Highland Regiments in the army but some are much older and date from the 18th and 19th centuries. Famous bagpipe composers such as Donald MacLeod, George MacLennan, Peter R. MacLeod, Willie Lawrie and many more are represented in these volumes as well as contemporary tunes by present day pipers, fiddlers and accordionists (Bobby Macleod,Freeland Barbour, Addie Harper etc) who are all producing tunes in Highland bagpipe style. Fiddlers have always been interested in the bagpipe repertoire but found the notation in the bagpipe books difficult to read due to lack of key signatures and pipe grace notes which have their own interpretation when played on the fiddle. This series of books was the first to make available the music of the bagpipes in easily accessable and readable settings for fiddle. In making the fiddle arrangements of these tunes such eminent pipers as John D. Burgess, Norman Gillies and Duncan Macgillivray were consulted regarding appropriate grace notes and interpretation of the spirit of pipe tunes played on the fidddle. The result is an amazing collection of the most popular pipe tunes in good fiddle settings (this material is also suitable for all melody instruments).
