This book of 10 solo cello pieces has been inspired by Ilse's living in Ireland, playing Irish music and working with Irish traditional musicians. The airs are composed to be both true to the rich Irish musical heritage yet offer a fresh approach to create full and satisfying solo works. They provide a technical challenge, with some extended techniques, and are ideally suited to a solo performance in any context, be it a classical concert, a contemporary concert or a more informal folk setting. Each air has a special feature and shows off your playing and the cello magnificently.This cello sheet music is a tool to help you unlock the beauty of Irish airs as played on the cello. With detailed ornamentation, and detailed, skilled scoring, you can develop an understanding of Irish music. The pieces are ideal for technical development. The left hand pizzicato, false harmonics and octaves of Buachaill ó’n Éirne, the double stops of Sally Gardens, the purity of Amhrán na Leabhar will help you develop your technical ability, including intonation, bowing, position changes in an enjoyable and satisfying way. The different techniques ensure that the melody is supported by an accompaniment despite it being played on only one instrument, thus adding body and colour. These composed versions are one possibility amongst many. You can use them as a basis for your own arrangements and improvisations. There are detailed instructional videos available for Irish Airs for Solo Cello available at the Play Cello Music SchoolContents:1. Carrickfergus2. Buachaill ó’n Éirne (Boy from Ireland)3.
