Mel Bay Walking Stones Book/CDS Set [Paperback]

Ken Kolodner (Author)

Out of Print--Limited Availability.

Book Description

Publication Date: November 21, 2002

Most of the tunes in this book are written as simple melodic lines with suggested chords rather than as more complete arrangements with harmony lines and variations. By contrast, on the companion "Walking Stones" CD, considerable freedom is taken with both the melody and its harmonization, encouraging the listener to explore the tunes to create their own arrangements and variations in the Celtic tradition. As with most traditional music, it is difficult to gather the true sense and feeling of these tunes without hearing them; it is recommended that the delightful stand-alone companion CD be used to ensure accuracy of interpretation and ease in learning. A 12/11 dulcimer will be suitable for most of the pieces. Some pieces require a 15/14 dulcimer.
