Product Description
Violinist Heide Hille Riggs presents an innovative Celtic Fiddling Ebook to guide the fiddler from notations of a tune melody to achieving the distinctive Celtic sound. Designed as the perfect practice companion for the style novice, this Ebook contains audio examples that demonstrate the instruction on how to execute ornaments and bowing patterns, and a working Table of Contents which allows the reader to go directly to any page and navigate from style instruction to a tune. Ornaments such as the turn, roll, slide and cut, bowing patterns and rhythmic use of the bow are explained and marked by hand for authenticity, and applied to thirteen favorite Celtic session tunes. Included are some of Heides handwritten transcriptions, six full tune recordings, and personal experiences from her journey pursuing the distinctive sound of Celtic music. This purchase includes a recording by Heide Hille Riggs of the popular Irish session tune,"Lark in the Morning". The book originated as an Ebook with imbedded audio examples of the ornaments and bowing for each tune, referenced by track number. These audio examples, plus full recordings of 6 of the tunes, are available in a separate Digital CD at heidehilleriggs.com. "Fiddler's Full Circle" is for any fiddler of intermediate to advance playing ability, educators and classrooms, and private studios.
