On Sale Now! -- Plenty in Stock!!
From the Preface: "Here is a collection which spans four centuries and more than five countries -- some vibrant threads from the rich tapestry of early music...We don't necessarily think of the violin as an early music instrument but in fact it evolved soon after 1500, during the early years of the musical renaissance, in a form more or less as we know it today. Most of the music in this anthology has some connection with stringed instruments, either the violin itself or one of its forerunners such as the rebec, medieval fiddle or viol. Significantly, all the pieces seem totally at home on the violin - and of course the player's own vitality and enthusiasm are far more important than strict historical accuracy...." About the editor -- Edward Huws Jones has travelled extensively researching fiddle-playing traditions. In each book he explains the background of the particular musical style, giving his own suggestions for a lively performance. And to help recreate the spirit of the music, every book in the series is beautifully illustrated.
