Favorite American Hornpipes For Fiddle: Violon

Continuing the reissue of the classic Phillips Collection of Traditional American Fiddle Tunes - Volume 2, Favorite American Hornpipes For Fiddle presents over a hundred classic and lesser-known Fiddle tunes inhornpipe style from all parts of the United States, some with multiple versions.

All tunes are transcribed from the playing of some of the greatest traditional fiddlers of the past and present including Benny Thomasson, BobWalters, Howdy Forrester, James Bryan, Rodney Miller, Ruthie Dornfeld, and many more. Bowings and chord accompaniment are included.

Teachers, are you looking for short pieces that will solidify scales and arpeggios thatdon't bore your students? Tired of the same old classical etudes? Hornpipes can also serve as effective and fun exercises for all Violin students, not just fiddlers. Many of them could have come right out of the baroque periodof art music. But they also illustrate some of America's great tradition of fiddling.
