The Fiddler Playalong Collection 1 (book/CD)

Boosey & Hawkes, London
Violin music from around the world
Violin (2 violins) and piano

This wonderfully diverse collection explores the world of traditional fiddle music from Irish to Gipsy and from Bluegrass to Latin-American, with many other exciting and intriguing styles. The CD reflects this diversity with supporting bands featuring an extraordinary variety of instrumental colours including authentic sounds drawn from the Celtic countries, central and eastern Europe, and from the Americas.
The arrangements can be performed as solos or duets (or played by larger ensembles), accompanied by piano, violin or guitar, with or without the CD accompaniment.
The edition is part of the Trinity syllabus 2007 (grade 1,2,3).
