In folk tradition, stories of love lost, betrayal, jealousy, conflict, emigration and the supernatural are often immortalised in songs of many traditions, demonstrating that singing has been a universal vehicle for the human condition. The criteria for this wonderful collection of prose and melodies is from Celtic traditions that have been with us for hundreds of years. These compositions have been arranged so that each will work both as an air and as a song. All of the selections in the book appear on the companion audio online.
