The Celtic folk tradition is one of the richest, most diverse, and far reaching in terms of influence that the world has ever seen. From the purity and emotional strength of its ballads and poetic retellings of adventures long past, found within regional traditions of its native shores; to the jigs and strathspeys that underwent far ranging evolutions seen in Creole traditions the world over, it has always cut deep into the soul of the listener.

This book explores the fascinating history buried within the songs that have defined the Celtic nations and the diaspora of countries they helped found; as well as giving chordal arrangements and lyrics to these seminal works that have been so integral to the strength of a people tormented by bloodshed, sacrifice, conquest and grief.

In this Volume, you will find the histories and chordal arrangements to the songs of Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Brittany, Cornwall, The Isle of Man and Galicia and Asturias. These are the original Celtic nations, whose songs spread over the world and contributed to the traditions of the Diaspora countries, which shall be explored in Volume 2

This compendium is a must have for any Celt wanting to explore their cultures roots through the medium of song! The most important vehicle we had for the passing on of our great histories to the next generations. It is also perfect for any songwriter interested in the folk traditions and how songs evolve over time, or as inspiration for your own songwriting adventures!
