Download or read book Folk Songs for Unaccompanied Viola written by Paul Fehrenbach and published by . This book was released on 2019-09-29 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume of Unaccompanied Viola music contains folk music from around the world. This volume contains 24 folk songs from countries like America, Great Britain, Italy, Germany and many others. Each song begins with a theme and uses extended variations (two pages each).The reason for these books is twofold: 1) to provide interesting and challenging arrangements of popular folk tunes for violists to enjoy themselves and 2) provide violists with arrangements to perform at various performing or concert venues. The arrangements are somewhat demanding but provide variations that should keep audiences involved as the melodies evolve. Since having a piano or guitar accompaniment to perform with it is not always feasible, these arrangements are designed to provide their own harmony throughout the song.The accompaniments I have arranged for these songs are all in keeping with standard viola practice handed down since the 17th century. Each song is arranged as a theme and variations, beginning with the melody harmonized with double-stops or left hand pizzicato, and progressing into more developed adaptations of the theme. The arrangements stay primarily in the first three positions with occasional natural and artificial harmonics and higher position work.

He was one of the last Irish harpist-composers and has written over 220 songs that survive in both words and music.He was the son of an iron worker and became blind from smallpox at the age of 18. He was befriended by Mrs. MacDermott-Roe, whose family employed his father, who apprenticed him to a harper and supported him for the three years of his training, then gave him money, an attendant, and a horse. At the age of 22 he became an itinerant harper and traveled widely in Ireland. Although never considered a master performer, he was highly regarded as a composer of songs and improvised verse. His tunes appeared widely in 18th-century collections. His music, although originally written for harp work extremely well on the viola. This volume contains songs he wrote for his patrons and special occasions as well as tunes written for amusement and pleasure.

Download or read book The Fiddler s Fakebook written by David Brody and published by Oak Publications. This book was released on 1983-01-06 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author’s preface: “This book was conceived four years ago, almost to the day, at a time when I was teaching fiddle and mandolin in New York City. It was my idea then, with my students in mind, to compile a book of the most often played, most important and most interesting fiddle tunes from the various Celtic and North American traditions. The tunes were chosen by cataloging a large number of recordings by tune title. A tally was taken to find out which had been recorded most often. This established a foundation of material that could not be left out. To this list I added the names of other pieces which had not been recorded as frequently, but which I knew were played regularly and with respect. I admit to sprinkling the collection with a few lesser known tunes which happen to be personal favorites, but I am sure they will hold their own when placed next to the old war horses of the fiddler’s repertoire. . . . Although I started out with my students in mind this book has turned out to be the book that I’ve always wanted and I hope that it will serve the advanced player as well as the beginner.”
