In 2012 we decided to put them all into one book for ease of reference. They are terrific tunes, and we hope you enjoy playing them! How to Find the Recordings that Go with this Book If you already own some of the CDs from the Youth Camp, you can look at the top left of each tune printed here, to find which year's CD that tune is from, and what track numbers that tune will be on the CD. If you don't have one or more of the CDs, you can download any of the tunes for free online. Go to this page: www.irishmusicyouthcamp.org/music/audio/ You can download the contents of an entire CD at once, or individual tunes. The tunes are grouped by the year they were released-- check the upper left hand corner of the sheet music for each tune to see which year's CD it was on. A Few Explanatory Notes If you're new to Irish music, please take a minute to read these comments before you start on the tunes! They will explain some things that might be confusing otherwise. First, I wanted to write a few notes about the notation of these tunes. There's no one "right way" for these tunes to go; the actual notes will vary from person to person, and even in one single person's playing as he changes the tune from one repeat to another. So what's written here is one way that you could play the tune. It's usually good to learn it just one way at first, and then you can start making small changes to it as you hear other people playing it and get some ideas for varying the tune. Sometimes what I have written here differs a little bit from how it's played on the accompanying recordings. A lot of these differences have to do with how the tune would have to be changed slightly to be played on different instruments. The flute often has to leave out notes in order to have time for a breath, so I have put some of those notes back in, for the benefit of others who don't have those constraints. Likewise, the fiddle often goes too low for the flute's range, so flutists have to make adjustments for that. If there are other differences between this sheet music and the recordings, feel free to choose the version you like best and learn it that way! I have included suggested bowings here for the benefit of fiddle players who are learning Irish bowing styles. Bowing is extremely important in getting the right sound in Irish music, so if you're new to Irish music, try out these slurring patterns so your right arm can get used to them. These are only an example, of course-- once you get the idea of what kind of slurs to use and where to put them, you can move them around and improvise as you like. The main thing is to vary what bowing you are using-- repeating the same pattern too much (like all separate or all slurred) sounds more like classical music than like Irish style. I should also say that there are differences in bowing style in different parts of Ireland, and among different players. In some of these tunes I wrote down a version of what our camp director, Gordon McLeod, played when he recorded the tune. In other tunes, I patterned the bowings on the bowing styles in Matt Cranitch's tutor The Irish Fiddle Book . Lastly, even though I've written this sheet music down for you, I want to encourage each of you to work on developing your skills of learning music by ear. Not only is that a very common learning method in Irish music, but there are many nuances of style that you can pick up when you learn music by ear, that you will miss if you only learn these tunes from a piece of paper. (The one exception to this is fiddle bowings, which are probably easier to learn when written down than trying to pick them up from a CD recording, at least at first.) So I'd encourage you to try learning at least one tune from the CD, without looking at the music. The best way to do this is to listen to the tune over and over (you can listen in the car or while you're doing chores), until you know the tune so well that you could whistle or sing it. Then try it on your instrument-- just hunt around until you find the first note, then play that one again and try to find the second one, etc. It helps if you think about whether the notes go up or down, and whether they sound like a scale pattern (every note in order) or whether there are notes skipped over. That will help you know in which direction to look, and how far away from the previous note you should look. If you get lost and can't remember where you are in the tune, just go back to the beginning and start over. If you get the notes in the first phrase, then repeat that a bunch of times till you have it down, so you don't forget it when you start on the second phrase. And just remember that Irish music tends to reuse phrases of music throughout the tune, so once you get one or two phrases, sometimes you know almost half the song already! So give it a try, and just keep working till you get it! Learning by ear isn't nearly as hard as it seems-- the first couple of songs you try might seem kind of difficult, but it just gets easier and easier to do. Above all, have fun with this music, and maybe we'll meet at a session sometime! Clare Cason Assistant Director, O'Flaherty Irish Music Youth Camp Great Starter Tunes for Beginning Fiddlers and Whistlers While most of the tunes in this book were chosen for accessibility and ease of learning, there are some that are particularly good tunes for those just starting out on the fiddle and whistle. I'll make a list of them here, from easier to harder. Learning these first would help you develop the technique to play all the rest of the tunes in the book!

  • Bowing Styles in Irish Fiddle Playing Vol 3
    Bowing Styles in Irish Fiddle Playing Vol 3 David H. Lyth July 2016 2 This is the third volume of a series of transcriptions of Irish traditional fiddle playing. The others are `Bowing Styles in Irish Fiddle Playing Vol I' and `Bowing Styles in Irish Fiddle Playing Vol 2'. Volume 1 contains reels and hornpipes recorded by Michael Coleman, James Morrison and Paddy Killoran in the 1920's and 30's. Volume 2 contains several types of tune, recorded by players from Clare, Limerick and Kerry in the 1950's and 60's. Volumes I and II were both published by Comhaltas Ceoltoiri Eirann. This third volume returns to the players in Volume 1, with more tune types. In all three volumes, the transcriptions give the bowing used by the per- former. I have determined the bowing by slowing down the recording to the point where the gaps caused by the changes in bow direction can be clearly heard. On the few occasions when a gap separates two passages with the bow in the same direction, I have usually been able to find that out by demanding consistency; if a passage is repeated with the same gaps between notes, I assume that the directions of the bow are also repeated. That approach gives a reliable result for the tunes in these volumes. (For some other tunes it doesn't, and I have not included them.) The ornaments are also given, using the standard notation which is explained in Volumes 1 and 2. The tunes come with metronome settings, corresponding to the speed of the performance that I have.

  • Another One Hundred Tunes” Published October 25, 2013
    O’Flaherty Irish Music Retreat “Another One Hundred Tunes” Published October 25, 2013 We decided to issue a third tunebook in celebration of the tenth year of the O’Flaherty Irish Music Retreat. It is hard to believe that a decade has passed since we held our first event at the Springhill Retreat Center in Richardson, Texas back in October of 2004. None of us who organized that first event had any indication that it would grow as it has. What started as a small local music camp has given rise to a well-respected international camp attracting participants from near and far. We have been successful over the years because of two primary factors – good teachers and good learners. Fortunately, we have never had a shortage of either so we have not only survived, but have expanded greatly in both scope and size since our founding. There is one other factor of our success that is important to remember – the music itself. Traditional Irish music is unlike any music I’ve known. On one hand, I have seldom encountered music more difficult to master. Playing “authentically” is the goal but that goal can take years if not a lifetime of listening, practicing and playing. On the other hand, the music by its nature is so accessible that it permits players to engage in it at any level of ability. It is not uncommon for experienced players to encourage novices and help establish a connection with this remarkable music tradition. That connection is the essence of what we try to do at our retreat – pass on the music as musicians have done in Ireland for centuries.
