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 book also includes chords if you want to play as part of an ensemble.
If you are at all interested in Turlough O'Carolan tunes on mandolin, this book is a great buy. Tab is included and the audio recordings are well done. When you play his songs from this book you will feel Irish composing genious. Well done. Highly recomended!" M.R.Potomac Falls, VA.
I received the book/CD Celtic Mandolin on Wed. and just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with my purchase. Both the printing and recording are very professional. The quantity of songs in this package, with variations on many, is a wealth of information on Early Celtic music, and a bargain I might add, for the modest cost. I look forward to purchasing other materials from you. Thank you very much.K
