Celtic Autoharp by KAREN MUELLER Pdf

This collection of 35 Celtic tunes represents ten different performance styles from Ireland, Scotland, Wales and Brittany. the majority of these pieces are dance tunes such as the jigs and reels popular at Irish sessions, the informal gatherings of musicians in pubs, community halls, and homes. Although relatively new to the session ensemble, the autoharp bears a distinct resemblance to the Irish folk harp. Fittingly, this collection includes harp tunes by famed Irish harpist Turlough O'Carolan as well as other slow airs. All of the pieces in this book have been arranged to be played on any standard 15 or 21-bar chromatic autoharp in either melodic or rhythmic (backup) style. A melody line with suggested chord accompaniment is included so other instrumentalists can easily join in. the book's companion CD includes performances of all 35 selections, ably illustrating the rhythmic and stylistic nuances of this engaging music. In notation and tablature.

Folk Style Autoharp by Harry Taussig Pdf

From the introduction: "It has been the author’s attempt to present, in a concise form, an introduction to the country style of playing the Autoharp. The styles presented have been kept as general as possible so the student can apply the techniques to any specific artist he wishes to study. Once the student has mastered the material in this book, he will have no difficulty in studying various traditional artists, or, on the other hand, supplementing his repertoire by his own arrangements and compositions. The major difficulty in preparing a book such as this is to invent a notation that is easier to read than the autoharp is to play. I have retained the musical notation because it gives the “ shape” of the melody. In addition, music reading skill will be necessary for working from other printed sources. The music is supplemented by simple notation which indicates how the autoharp is to be played. I would like to thank Mr. Mayne Smith for fruitful discussions in regard to the notation used in this book."
