This exceptional collection of 41
truly beautiful airs and ballads from the British Isles offers both
well-known tunes by the prolific blind Irish harpist, Turlough O’Carolan
and rarely heard melodies by anonymous composers; all have stood the
test of time. Arranged for soprano or tenor recorder, these include
O’Carolan’s classically influenced “Lord Inchiquin” and “Eleanor
Plunkett” as well as “O Gentle Dove” and “Cuckoo Dear”— both examples of
the strong tradition of song in Wales. Among other tunes, the haunting
modal melodies of “The Dark Slender Boy” and “Enchanted Valley” express
the melancholic heart and soul of the British Isles.
A few of
these songs have taken on a life of their own in modern times. “Bonny at
Morn”, a popular traditional tune of northern England and Scotland, was
arranged for soprano voice and harp by the 20th century British
composer, Benjamin Britten. “The Skye Boat Song” originally recounted
Bonnie Prince Charles Edward Stuart’s journey to the Isle of Skye after
his defeat at the historic Battle of Culloden. Later, the song evolved
into a lilting lullaby and was more recently used as the theme song for
the popular Outlander television series.
Departing slightly from
recorder notation practice, author Marcia Diehl has judiciously arranged
these melodies complete with spare slur markings to aid the amateur
player in authentically and musically rendering these tunes.
