Add to basketNeuware - The full range of traditional fiddle repertoire is now at your fingertips! Using these generous collections, you can create your own ceilidh, barn dance, jazz club or Sarajevo street-café. Some of this music is familiar, some more exotic, but all of it is absolutely authentic, faithfully arranged and, above all, hugely enjoyable.Each title in the series is available in two formats: the Violin Edition (with an optional easy violin part and guitar chords); or the Complete Edition, which also includes both keyboard and violin accompaniments. Either format is hugely flexible, which means the music can be played as solos, duets or trios as well as with larger ensembles.Edward Huws Jones has travelled extensively researching fiddle-playing traditions. In each book he explains the background of the particular musical style, giving his own suggestions for a lively performance. Here is a collection which spans four centuries and more than five countries - some vibrant threads from the rich tapestry of early music.We don't necessarily think of the violin as an early music instrument but in fact it evolved soon after 1500, during the early years of the musical renaissance, in a form more or less as we know it today. Most of the music in this anthology has some connection with stringed instruments, either the violin itself or one of its forerunners such as the rebec, medieval fiddle or viol. Significantly, all the pieces seem totally at home on the violin / and of course the player's own vitality and enthusiasm are far more important than historical accuracy.The arrangements in this collection can be performed as solos, duets, trios or by larger ensembles. Violin accompaniments for the more advanced player are given. The piano accompaniments can be played on a variety of keyboard instruments. Harpsichord or organ / or similar sounds on an electronic keyboard / work well, particularly in the renaissance pieces. All the earlier, medieval pieces have come down to us as a single melodic line, so the accompaniments have been freely arranged, usually based on ostinati. But the tunes can work just as well with the players adding their own drones and/or percussion. With the later tunes, we know that renaissance musicians loved to improvise variations or 'divisions' on well known tunes. Some are suggested here, but performers are always encouraged to create their own!Instrumentation:violin (2 violins) and piano, guitar ad libitum; Das traditionelle Fiddle-Repertoire steht nun in seiner ganzen Bandbreite zur Verfügung. Die umfangreichen Sammlungen lassen Ceilidh-Musik, Barn Dance, Jazz Clubatmosphäre oder Sarajevos Straßencafémusik authentisch nacherleben. Einiges davon kennt man, anderes ist aufregend neu, gemeinsam ist allen Stücken ihre unbedingte Authentizität, die große Sorgfalt der Arrangements und, vor allem anderen, ihr enormer Unterhaltungswert.Jeder Titel dieser Reihe ist in zwei Ausgaben erhältlich: als Violin Edition (mit zusätzlicher sehr leichter Violinstimme und Akkordangaben für Gitarre ad lib.); oder als Complete Edition mit sämtlichen Violinstimmen, Begleitangaben und Klavierbegleitung. Diese hohe Flexibilität ermöglicht vielfältige Besetzungen: Solo, Duett, Trio bis hin zu größeren Ensembles.Edward Huws Jones hat sich ausgiebig mit der Tradition des Fiddle-Spiels beschäftigt. In jedem Band erklärt er den Hintergrund des jeweiligen Musikstils und macht Vorschläge für seine optimale Darbietung. Die vorliegende Sammlung umspannt vier Jahrhunderte und mehr als fünf Länder und enthält einige besonders schöne Stücke aus der Schatztruhe früher abendländlischer Musik.Die Violine zählt nicht wirklich zum Instrumentarium der Alten Musik, aber sie entwickelte sich bereits kurz nach 1500, also in der Frühzeit der Renaissance, mehr oder weniger zu der Form, in der wir sie heute kennen. Die meisten Stücke in dieser Sammlung haben einen Bezug zu Saiteninstrumenten, entweder zur Violine selbst oder zu ihren Vorläufern wie Rebec, mittel.
