Trade Paperback. Condition: Good. WeInstein, Iris - Boook and Cover Design (illustrator). New and Revised. 254 Pages with a Comprehensive Seven Page Index. Light wear to covers at the spine, corners, and edges. The interior music pages are flawless. This is the new and revised edition with over 1,000 Jigs, Reels, Hornpipes, Long Dances and Marches in a newly printed and corrected collection of the dance music of Ireland. Includes an introduction on the history of Irish music and tips on playing with an authentic feeling. Included are settings from the playing of Michael Coleman and the Sligo Fiddle Masters. In keeping with Frances O'Neill's philosophy - his last book was released in 1916 - the editor's goal was to update and improve O'Neill's own work by drawing on the many outstanding recorded and contemporary settings that have become popular during the last fifty years. Krassen has also attempted to apply many of the characteristics of Sligo fingering to settings of less common tunes, with the aim of making them more appealing to those enchanted by the charms of Sligo fiddling. Although the Krassen was particularly anxious to include in the settings as many beautiful touches taken from the great players as possible, this intention was somewhat restricted by the format of the book and limitations of space. In a work of this size it is only possible to go through each tune once. This precludes the possibility of including many fine variations. Yet, it is the subtle art of variation that makes the playing of Michael Coleman and other great players so consistently exciting. The best players slightly alter their setting of a tune almost every time they play through it. This means that particular flourishes are used judiciously over the course of a performance, rather than being crammed all together in one run-through. Although the editor was concerned with the problem of over-embellishing the transcriptions, it was often found desirable here to utilize flourishes from several different settings in order to produce one composite version. While some of the resulting transcriptions may appear slightly overcrowded with ornamentation, Krassen was deeply aware that everything could not be included. Nevertheless, it was considered preferable to graft on certain fine touches taken from the playing of Michael Coleman and others in order to convey stylistic nuance, rather than continue the trend of publishing bland, skeletal settings. Contents in Six Parts: Jigs, Slip Jigs, Reels, Hornpipes, Set Dances, and O'Carolan's Composition.

Includes List of Other Books by Ha Jin; Author Dedication; Epilogue; Extracts From Nan Wu's Poetry Journal; Poems by Nan Wu and About the Author. "From Ha Jin, the widely acclaimed, award-winning author of Waiting and War Trash, comes a novel that takes his fiction to a new setting: 1990s America. We follow the Wu family - father Nan, mother Pingping, and son Taotao - as they fully sever their ties with China in the aftermath of the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre and begin a new, free life in the United States. At first, their future seems assured - Nan's graduate work in political science at Brandeis University would guarantee him a teaching position in China - but after the fallout from Tiananmen, Nan's disillusionment turns him toward his first love, poetry. Leaving his studies, he takes on a variety of menial jobs while Pingping works for a wealthy widow as a cook and housekeeper. As Nan struggles to adapt to a new language and culture, his love of poetry and literature sustains him through difficult, lean years. Ha Jin creates a moving, realistic , but always hopeful narrative as Nan moves from Boston to New York to Atlanta, ever in search of financial stability and success, even in a culture that sometimes feels oppressive and hostile. As Pingping and Taotao slowly adjust to American life, Nan still feels a strange, paradoxical attachment to his homeland, though he violently disagrees with Communist policy. And severing all ties - including his love for a woman who rejected him in his youth - proves to be more difficult than he could ever have imagined. Ha Jin's prodigious talents are evident in this powerful new book, which brilliantly brings to life the struggles and successes that characterize the contemporary immigrant experience. With its lyrical prose and confidant grace, A Free Life is a luminous addition to the works of one of the preeminent writers in America today." - from the inner front jacket flap.
