The island of Cape Breton and its close neighbor, Prince Edward Island in eastern Canada are home to two of the oldest, strongest, and most vibrant fiddling traditions in North America. Cape Breton gave rise to a professional Celtic-based fiddling scene to rival anything coming out of Scotland and Ireland. Prince Edward Island’s traditional fiddlers developed lively, idiosyncratic styles every bit as musically compelling as anything you’ll hear on archival recordings of iconic American old-time fiddlers from the Appalachians. This book features 136 tunes from these two distinct but related fiddling traditions, collected by the author directly from master fiddlers, and arranged note-for-note for clawhammer banjo with as much flavor and nuance as possible. These settings of reels, hornpipes, jigs, marches, strathspeys, airs, and other fiddle tunes are all eminently playable and fully benefit from the author’s half-century of experience playing banjo, arranging for banjo, writing banjo instruction books, and researching fiddle-music traditions.

Here’s what you’ll find in this volume.

• 136 fiddle tunes arranged for clawhammer banjo in clear tablature
• Over 40 musical examples and exercises
• Instruction on basic and advanced techniques
• Fingering diagrams and detailed fingering suggestions
• A systematic approach to playing up-the-neck
• A thorough treatment of playing triplets, grace notes, and other characteristic ornaments in clawhammer
• Guides on how to approach playing various kinds of fiddle tunes
• A framework for understanding the modes encountered in fiddle music
• Historical notes on the tunes and musical traditions
• Biographical information on source fiddlers
• 169 audio illustrations available online

Note: Most audio illustrations for the tunes in this book are drawn directly from the author’s CDs, Devil in the Kitchen, Frails and Frolics, Island Boy, and Northern Banjo.

This familiar Southern folk tune is perfect for youth choirs of all sizes and abilities. The lowered 7th that occurs in the melody gives the entire arrangement a blues sound that brings a delightful, fresh appeal to this popular carol. Counter melodies using descending half steps create additional harmonic interest throughout the anthem.

What Wondrous Love is This!

arranged for violin and piano by Stephen R Dalrymple

transcribed for flute, clarinet, trumpet, euphonium (or trombone), viola, and cello

recording performed by Jim Jansen and Stephen R Dalrymple

   The lyrics were first published in Lynchburg, Virginia in the 1811 camp meeting songbook A General Selection of the Newest and Most Admired Hymns and Spiritual Songs Now in Use. In most early printings, no author is listed for the text. The 1848 hymnal The Hesperian Harp attributes the text to Alexander means, a Methodist pastor from Oxford

   Most sources attribute the hymn's melody to the 1701 English song The Ballad of Captain Kidd, but the melody predates the Kidd tune, however, possibly by more than a century. Camp meeting attendees during the Second Great Awakening would sing the hymns from text only hymnals to a variety of popular melodies. The text and melody were first published together in The Southern Harmony, a book of shape note hymns compiled by William Walker. (excerpted from Wikipedia)

   What Wondrous Love is This! is set in the Dorian mode. The mode gives the song a poignant, evocative mood.

John Newton penned the words to “Amazing Grace� around 1764 after he survived a near-death experience on a slave-trading ship that nearly capsized, after which he became a priest. His words were set to music by William Walker who composed the hymn tune NEW BRITAIN, first published in “Southern Harmony in 1847. The hymn is extremely influential in religious and folk music, crossing over successfully into secular music. One of the most recognizable and beloved songs in history, Daniel Carter’s setting has a traditional southern folk song feel. Arranged for solo voice, fiddle obbligato, and piano and is suitable for worship, devotionals, concert settings, and music recitals. The fiddle part is included on the last page of the score. Available for both high-range and medium-range vocal solo, fiddle, and piano at danielcartermusic.com.
