Bibliography:
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Summary:
"Celtic music scholar and musician Liz Doherty is no stranger to
Cape
Breton
music - in fact, she has made a study of it. Doherty's exposure to, and research of, the
island
's music traditions was the germination for this compendium on the
Cape
Breton
fiddle: its history, its people, the tunes, the recordings. The fiddle music of
Cape
Breton
Island
,
Nova
Scotia
, has its own sound, artistic standards, performance practices and etiquette. The
Cape
Breton
fiddler of the 21st century is performing a music that was transplanted from the Highlands and Islands of Scotland in the 18th and early 19th centuries. Adapted and evolved as it has passed down through several generations, each of its exponents carrying an inherited responsibility to maintain the music's integrity while also making it relevant for contemporary audiences. The
Cape
Breton
Fiddle Companion widens the field of view for future adherents and scholars of
Cape
Breton
music, raises as many questions as it answers, and thus contributes to the ongoing conversation. Above all, it is a tribute to those who have carried and developed this wonderful music and shared it with so many of us around the world."--From publisher.
