"Tunes and Harmonies for fiddlers playing together"
- a delightful eBook of duets with digital album by Magdalena Reid and is the result of her many years working and writing arrangements for fiddle groups. The tunes arrangements are greatly influenced by the popular Swedish tradition of harmony playing as Magdalena is Swedish - though having lived in the UK for many years she is also very knowledgeable about traditional tunes from here too.
This package includes a digital album of all the tunes in the book to help you learn them.
The second and third part harmonies and other accompaniment options she gives in the book offer simple accompaniment options for even the most beginner fiddler to more progressive harmonies and other techniques to make group playing fun. This is an inspiring collection for groups of friends to play or groupwork classes and is well presented with clear text and music.
The books includes a guide on creating harmonies which is very useful if you are interested in creating your own harmonies and something that is not often explained.
The e-book has an appendix with basic theory on chords, key and mode relationships providing useful background facts for putting together sets of tunes and trying out harmonising and improvising. It also has a short section with hints on performance.
