The Caledonian Companion BOOK

A collection of Scottish Fiddle Music and guide to its performance by Alastair J. Hardie...

This book presents a collection of Scottish Fiddle Music, much of which is not otherwise currently available in a modern
edition, with a significant proportion being published here for the first time. It also sets out to elucidate a range of Scottish
fiddle techniques: bowing, fingering, phrasing, ornamentation, etc., essential to the idiomatic performance of the style.

With many illuminating and entertaining historical notes, 'The Caledonian Companion' will appeal to the solo fiddler, the
folk enthusiast and the classical violinist intent on broadening his or her musical horizons, and it is hoped it will be of
special interest to the younger generation, awakening in them an enthusiasm for this vitally coulourful music.
