This book is a comprehensive, detailed approach to playing Irish music on the tinwhistle. It has been written especially for new enthusiasts who live impossibly far from Irish musicians and are fretfully asking themselves, “Where Can I Ever Learn To Play?” It contains information on technique and style that more advanced players will also find useful. And, there are 72 dance tunes and airs suitably arranged for the tinwhistle, including some recently-composed pieces and several unusual settings of old standards that even the most jaded musical palates aflame with the insatiable desire for New Tunes will find exhilarating and momentarily satisfying.

As he travels through the North, Wilson gets beneath the political surface to portray both the tragedy and comedy of everyday life in the Protestant and Catholic communities. Aware of the polarized image that each side has of the other, he emphasizes the importance of finding common ground and of asserting the middle against the extremes. Just as traditional Irish music is characterized by ornamentations and elaborations on a melodic theme, Ireland, a Bicycle, and a Tin Whistle is full of variations and wanderings on the theme of the trip itself. And just as traditional Irish musicians will follow a sad slow air with a lively foot-tapping reel, Wilson's mood ranges from the nostalgic and reflective to the irreverent and mischievous. If there is a lament in one ear, there is a song in the other.

Thomas Balinger Irish Songs for tin whistle In this book you'll find some of the most beautiful Irish melodies for tin whistle in D. These songs stem from a long and rich musical tradition meaning there are quite a few variants of both lyrics and melodies. All songs have been arranged for the beginning to intermediate player. To facilitate playing I added tin whistle tablature to the standard notation. This handy form of graphical notation shows you exactly how to play every note-reading music not required. Chord symbols are added to all songs so you can play them together with others. You'll find the chord diagrams for guitar where you need them-right next to each song.
