Product Overview
Published by ADG. In this collection by Allan Alexander and Jessica Walsh you will find traditional music, pieces by Carolan, and also pieces that were written for lute and mandora over 400 years ago. There is a surprising similarity in the sound of the lute and mandora music and the sound of many of the traditional pieces from Ireland and Scotland. It is an amazing feeling to play a dance that is this old... to play the same notes another musician played back in the Renaissance. The pieces included in this book are a combination of requests from mandolin players and Allan's own personal favorites. There are 46 pieces spanning four centuries. The pieces are presented with music notation and tablature. They also work on the modern cittern. The book also includes chords if you want to play as part of an ensemble.
