Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "This unique publication is timely and historic. It is evocative of the mammoth role played by Leo Rowsome - "Ri na bPiobari" - in the Irish traditional music saga and the ultimate resurgence of our native music. The indomitable and inspirational Leo Rowsome was one of the foremost architects of Comhaltas Ceoltoiri Eireann; the founding branch of the movement - Cumann na bPiobari Uilleann - now proudly bears his name. The name Rowsome will always be synonymous with the music of Ireland. "Traoslaim le gach einne a thug an saothar seo I gcrich." - Senator Labhras - Murchu Ardstiurthoir, Comhaltas Ceoltoiri Eireann. "The twentieth-century revival of uilleann piping and pipe-making is due in no small way to Leo Rowsome's loyalty and dedication to the art. His mastery of the pipes and unique generosity in passing on the tradition through his teaching earned him, appropriately, the title, 'King of the Pipers'. "Leo, you endeared yourself to generations of musicians, not least to three generations of my own family. Thank you." - Sean Potts, Chairman, Na Piobairi Uilleann.Leo Rowsome's lifetime devotion to the uilleann pipes and to traditional music has secured for him an honoured place among the great Irish musicians, past and present. This book, copied from Leo's own handwritten notation, is a collection of tunes he used to instruct his pupils - many of whom became masters in their own right. Through these musical settings, Leo again extends his influence and unique spirit, a spirit that will inspire greatness. "I commend and applaud his daughter Helena for her painstaking work in making available the authentic Rowsome version of these tunes to all lovers of Irish music." - Seamus Connolly, Director, Irish Music & Dance, Boston College. Leo Rowsome's lifetime devotion to the Uilleann pipes and to traditional music has secured for him an honoured place among the great Irish musicians. This book, copied from Leo's own handwritten notation, is a collection of tunes he used to instruct his pupils - many of whom became masters in their own right.
