THE SHARON SHANNON BOOK OF TUNES
Since she made her remarkable entrance on the Irish music scene with her 1991 debut solo album, Sharon Shannon has released several eclectic recordings, the latest being "Tunes," made with Frankie Gavin and Michael McGoldrick, which have combined traditional tunes from Ireland, Scotland, and French Canada with melodies from Spain and South America, modern compositions, and even pop songs. This tunebook covers the whole range, and contains such favorites from Shannon's repertoire as traditional tunes like "Dowd's Favorite" or "The Fisherman's Lilt," Tommy Peoples' "Greenfields of Glentown," the French-Canadian "Mouth of the Tobique," "Music for a Found Harmonium," etc. Standard notation with chord symbols.
