Celtic Trios for Strings

Rosin your bow for these 25 arrangements of music from Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. This collection features medleys of traditional hornpipes, jigs, slip jigs, polkas, reels, waltzes, and strathspeys. Also included are a few arrangements of compositions by various Celtic composers, including Sophia Dussek, and Turlough O’Carolan. These catchy melodies are truly infectious, and you may experience excessive toe tapping. If you are all tapping at the same time, rejoice!

A spiral bound printed Score Book is available for this collection.

Each of the collections in the Trios for Strings series consists of nine individual part books. Each of the three trio parts (A, B, and C) are available for Violins, Violas, and Cellos. For the arrangements to work there has to be at least one A part, one B part, and one C part because the melody bounces from one part to another.

“With now well over forty books of arrangements under her belt, Deborah Greenblatt continues to amaze with her joyous arrangements of folk melodies from all over the world. This time Celtic tunes from Ireland, Scotland and Wales abound in medleys of traditional hornpipes, polkas, jigs, reels and waltzes. Deborah invites you to rosin your bow for these infectious melodies. A variety of time and key signatures ensures you are kept on your toes and your audience's toes will also be tapping away in no time. Melodies are distributed between all three parts so each player gets a chance to shine.”

“There are a mix of traditional tunes and ones from known composers (O’Carolan, the Gows...). They range from familiar (Sailor's Hornpipe, Larry O’Gaff, and Swinging On the Gate) to rarer tunes. Most would be accessible to advanced beginners and intermediate players.”

...Mary Larsen Fiddler Magazine, Spring 2017
