  • Guide to Ornamentation Notation
    A GUIDE TO GREY LARSEN'S NOTATION SYSTEM FOR IRISH ORNAMENTATION Over a number of years, I have developed a system of understanding and notating Irish flute and tin whistle ornamentation. This system is also applicable to the traditions of other Irish melody instruments, with some adaptations. In my books I use this system to notate ornamentation. Since it may be unfamiliar to you, I have written this guide to explain the system. Feel free to download this document and share it with other people. It is copyrighted, however, so please credit your use of this material. In addition to the most commonly used ornaments – cuts, strikes, slides, rolls, and cranns – there are double-cut rolls, and a variety of what I call condensed rolls and cranns. To learn about ornamentation in its full depth, I refer you to my book The Essential Guide to Irish Flute and Tin Whistle. WHAT IS ORNAMENTATION? When I speak of ornamentation in traditional Irish instrumental music I am referring to ways of altering or embellishing small pieces or cells of a melody that are between one and three eighth-note beats long. These alterations and embellishments are created mainly through the use of special fingered articulations (cuts and strikes) and inflections (slides), not through the addition of extra, ornamental notes. The modern classical musician’s view of ornamentation is quite different. Ornamentation, A Question & Answer Manual, a book written to help classical musicians understand ornamentation from the baroque era through the present, offers this definition: “Ornamentation is the practice of adding notes to a melody to allow music to be more expressive.”1 Classical musicians naturally tend to carry this kind of thinking with them as newcomers to traditional Irish music.

Minor authentic differences (single notes, ornaments, slurs and ties, Bars 23 & 55 R.H. The grace note may be performed in an anti- 1 2 accents, pedal signs, etc.) which may be regarded as variants are given in cipated manner (before the third a -c struck together with the 1 round brackets ( ), editorial additions in square brackets [ ].

Performers with no interest in source-related problems and wishing to chord: rely on a single text without variants are advised to follow the text given on the main staffs, whilst taking account of all markings in brackets. Chopin’s original fingering is marked with slightly larger digits in Roman 1 2 3 4 5 In both cases the grace note should be lighter than the neigh- type, , distinct from editorial fingering, which is written in 1 2 smaller italics, 1 2 3 4 5. bouring melodic principals b and c .

  • Repetition and Codas
    Repetition and codas Tremolo A rapidly repeated note. If the tremolo is between two notes, then they are played in rapid alternation. The number of slashes through the stem (or number of diagonal bars between two notes) indicates the frequency at which the note is to be repeated (or alternated). As shown here, the note is to be repeated at a demisemiquaver (thirty-second note) rate. Repeat signs Enclose a passage that is to be played more than once. If there is no left repeat sign, the right repeat sign sends the performer back to the start of the piece or the nearest double bar. Simile marks Denote that preceding groups of beats or measures are to be repeated. In the examples here, the first usually means to repeat the previous measure, and the second usually means to repeat the previous two measures. Volta brackets (1st and 2nd endings, or 1st- and 2nd-time bars) A repeated passage is to be played with different endings on different playings; it is possible to have more than two endings (1st, 2nd, 3rd ...). Da capo (lit. "From top") Tells the performer to repeat playing of the music from its beginning. This is usually followed by al fine (lit. "to the end"), which means to repeat to the word fine and stop, or al coda (lit. "to the coda (sign)"), which means repeat to the coda sign and then jump forward. Dal segno (lit. "From the sign") Tells the performer to repeat playing of the music starting at the nearest segno. This is followed by al fine or al coda just as with da capo.
