Orain an Eilein - Gaelic Songs of Skye (book)
Over 160 Gaelic songs with words and music gathered from tradition bearers from the Isle of Skye. This is a collection of Skye Gaelic songs old and new.
The book includes many previously unpublished songs from the oral tradition and notes on the tune origins and bards. There are many lovely melodies here to explore for instrumentalists as well as new Gaelic songs to learn.
This book won the prize for adult literature at the Largs National Mod in 2002. The lovely melodies are also often less well known and worth exploring.
