Book excerpt: Very few musical instruments in the world enjoy so much praise for their beauty, myth and extraordinary sound as the uilleann pipes. Evolving through centuries of war, fostered by the gentry, banned by foreign forces and at stages becoming virtually extinct Pipes are still one of the most amazing pieces of musical machinery ever invented or designed. In this book, we don't try to take away any of this beauty or myth, but we do attempt to lessen the opinion that they are one of the most difficult instruments to learn. In its most basic form, we explain simple piping designed for the absolute beginner moving step by step through the problems the newcomer will experience. The tape is designed to aid interpretation of material in the book but is not a concert performance. Walton Mfg. and UK product #WM2183.

Download or read book The Wheels of the World written by Colin Harper and published by Jawbone. This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "One chanter, three drones, three regulators, thirteen keys, too many near-extinctions to mention and 300 years of heroes: that, with a frisson of fairies on moonlit knolls, is the Irish uilleann ('ill-in') pipes. The Wheels Of The World presents an epic tale of triumph and survival, where the soulful heart of a nation has been kept alive across ages by a slender thread of guardians - blind men, eccentrics, self-aggrandisers, noble heroes, bloody-minded revivalists and at least three people compared to Jimi Hendrix. Uilleann piping is Ireland's equivalent to the story of the blues in America, save that here the trail of legends and lore is richer and deeper by far. It is the sound of 18th-century blues - a microtonal virtuoso machine wielded by misfits and geniuses, often one and the same. This is the story of a continuum, from John McSherry, a 21st-century icon, backwards in time through Paddy Keenan, Liam O'Flynn, Finbar Furey, Seamus Ennis, Willie Clancy, Johnny Doran, Leo Rowsome and Patsy Touhey - at the dawn of recorded sound - and thence to find a litany of unrecorded legends before them. It is also a snapshot of professional Irish traditional musicians, after the gold rush of the late 20th century, keeping calm and carrying on."--Publisher description.
