Product Description

Synopsis

This handbook offers a tour of Scottish and Irish musical traditions from their origins to their place in the contemporary world music scene. Everyone knows Celtic music fiddles, pennywhistles, pipes, dances, bawdy ballads and haunting love songs. As The Chieftains and "Riverdance" demonstrate, Celtic music continues to broaden its audience, absorbing new influences along the way while retaining its dedication to history and tradition. Drawing on wide-ranging fieldwork in Scotland, Ireland, and extensive classroom experience, Jerry Cadden shows how the music expresses the identity of each place, how those musics compare and contrast, and how it achieved its worldwide following. Topics include the music of the Troubles, the "Riverdance" phenomenon, and the future of traditional Celtic music in the 21st century.
