Description

Foinn Seisiún – Traditional Irish Session Tunescompiled by Brian Prior[Comhaltas]This series of books and CD sets was produced to provide those learning to play Irish music with a virtual session to play along with, at home or wherever they may be practicing, and to hone their skills. The tunes, comprising sessions standards in all the main genres (even mazurkas and waltzes), are grouped in medleys of two or three, and are performed that way on the companion 2-CD sets. The musical notation is the typical single-line, bare-bones version. The recorded performances, by musicians playing accordion, banjo, concertina, fiddle, flute, uilleann pipes, etc, in various combinations, are not necessarily most sophisticated musically, but they have plenty of energy and are well suited to their intended use.Book 1 and CD 1: 116 tunesBook 2 and CD 2: 104 tunesBook 3 and CD 3: 108 tunes http://comhaltas.ie
