Duets and trios arranged for fiddlers from the songs of Robert Burns - including lyrics.

Robert Burns (1759- 1796) was a master poet and song writer as well as a great collector of tunes and words. It is not such a well known fact that he had a great love of the fiddle and its melodies. It is understood that he himself played the instrument in an amateur fashion.

This book of fiddle duets gives musicians the opportunity to play solo or together with singers and accompanied by guitar or piano. Lyrics of the songs are included and guitar chords and bowings. A CD of all the tunes is available and each tune is played twice. The second time only fiddle one plays so that the harmony can be played as accompaniment to make your own duet.

Reviews

“A find collection, both for instrumentalists and singers.”

John Moar

“This collection, of thirty-one songs, is set out clearly with chords, lyrics, melody line and one or sometimes two lines of harmony. These second lines are well chosen: not over fussy or contrived, which would only distract from the important melody line.”

John Moar - Orkney View Magazine
