Ho-ro-gheallaidh 2 (book)

A fine selection of Irish, Scottish & Cape Breton tunes being played at todays sessions in Scotland. This is a follow on book from our very popular book one "the black book". The tunes are a little more advanced than those in the Ceilidh Collection series and are ideal for sessions, advanced fiddle groups, bands, concerts festivals, SQA exams and albums.

This is some of the faster and more tricky traditional music played in Scotland and should offer a challenge to the increasing number of good fiddlers and other instrumentalists in Scotland and beyond. A few of the tunes use 3rd and 5th position. Much of the material consists of reels as this is what is mostly played in sessions. and the tunes are from Scotland, Cape Breton and Ireland though there are also a few jigs, marches and airs too. Includes chords, bowings, and metronome markings for tempo.

Reviews

Hello,

I'm having a lovely evening playing through Book 1 of Ho-Ro-Gheallaidh. I have all the Ho-Ro's and Fiddle Music of the Scottish Highlands, and over here in Brooklyn NY, they're all just such a wonderful resource for the ongoing session we are running at Iona , a pub in Williamsburg Brooklyn. I just wanted to thank you for all the hard work in putting them together and how appreciated they are by me and our group.

Thanks and best wishes

Karen Brown
