1 Ceoltóirí an Doirín Tunes Book

2 This book is a gathering up of many of the tunes that the young musicians of Ballinderreen have been playing in their groups since the start of our rental instrument scheme and community music project seven years ago. We have brought them together so that the new players coming up will have an opportunity to learn a similar repertoire to the musicians who are already playing. The tunes come from many sources; local musicians, teachers, the collected body of recorded and written Irish music, and the children themselves. We gratefully acknowledge the generous tradition of passing on to younger generations what has come before. We wish to offer these versions of our tunes not as definitive versions but rather as versions that are a starting point. If you come across the tune played another way; have a listen, try it out, and decide for yourself. Develop your own way of playing the music. In that way perhaps you will learn to appreciate the infinite variety that exists in Irish music. And, discover also, that this is a music that is constantly evolving. Compiled by Ailbhe Dervan, Emer and Claire Organ, Ellen Gill, Mike and Sue Fahy. Special thanks to: Jackie Small. The Arts Council for materials and printing.
