This book presents a collection of 124 tunes arranged for the hammered dulcimer and other "C" melody instruments including recorder, penny whistle, fiddle, mandolin, and guitar. The music is transcribed from the playing of Maggie Sansone, America's premier hammered dulcimer player and teacher specializing in Celtic music—from six of her most popular recordings: Traditions, Mist & Stone, Dance Upon the Shore, A Traveler's Dream, Mystic Dance and Merrily Greet the Time. Written in standard notation with suggested accompaniment chords, all of the tunes and arrangements can be played easily on the 12/11 hammered dulcimer as well as on larger extended-range models. The music and arrangements cover several levels from experienced beginner to advanced performer; many of the tunes are presented as a simple melody line with chords while others are transcribed with fuller arrangements and optional variations. This stunning collection will thrill both students of the hammered dulcimer and Celtic music lovers in general, offering valuable insight to Maggie Sansone's playing and arranging style.
