This
meticulously researched anthology presents detailed biographies and
transcriptions, including bowing, ornamentation, and accentuation of 39
fiddle tunes as played by 25 Newfoundland fiddlers from locations
throughout the island. For unparalleled authenticity, the author’s live
field recordings of each tune are available online, offering a unique
perspective of the various types of tunes and techniques favoured by
past and present Newfoundland fiddlers.
Newfoundland,
a former British colony, possesses a rich and varied cultural heritage
due to its history of unique settlement patterns. Beginning in the 16th century,
European migrants from Ireland, Scotland, West-Country England, and
France settled on the island, bringing with them their various cultural
practices, including their fiddles!
This
collection provides insight to the backgrounds, geographical locations,
and musical preferences of the individual players, and how music-making
and the role and status of Newfoundland fiddlers have evolved over
time. The tunes included here vary from original compositions and
revival collectors’ treasures, to reinterpreted versions of timeless
Irish, Scottish, and French tunes. Together, they form a part of the
modern-day Newfoundland fiddling tradition.
This
book will delight fiddle players and any musician who wishes to further
enhance their repertoire and technique, or simply learn more about the
island of Newfoundland and its music.
