With the exception of College Hornpipe, the harmony parts do not descend below middle C, making the arrangements accessible to a particularly wide range of melody instruments, including recorders.\u003c\/p\u003e\t  \u003cp\u003eThe collection reflects the rich traditional music that has survived alongside other musical forms and continues to be played and enjoyed today. Players are encouraged to approach the written notation as a starting point for performance, adding ornamentation and individual interpretation appropriate to their instrument and musical style. Dance tunes in particular benefit from a strong rhythmic approach that brings out their characteristic energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\t  \u003cp\u003eThe arrangements offer plenty of flexibility in performance. A tune can first be played solo or in unison before the harmony is introduced, allowing listeners to become familiar with the melody. Players can then swap parts on a further repeat, while tunes of similar or contrasting tempos can also be combined into medleys. The optional chord accompaniment can provide additional rhythmic support, particularly for less experienced players, but the two melody parts work equally well on their own.\u003c\/p\u003e\t  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\t  \u003cul\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003e21 popular traditional melodies from Britain and Ireland\u003c\/li\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003eIncludes both dance tunes and song airs\u003c\/li\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003eArranged for two melody instruments\u003c\/li\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003eHarmony part provided for every tune\u003c\/li\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003eOptional chord symbols for guitar, piano or other accompaniment\u003c\/li\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003eSuitable for a wide range of melody instruments, including recorders\u003c\/li\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003eFlexible arrangements suitable for solo melody, unison and harmony playing\u003c\/li\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003eEncourages ornamentation and individual interpretation\u003c\/li\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003eViolin bowings by Stewart Hardy\u003c\/li\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003eIdeal for duets, lessons and informal performance\u003c\/li\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003eIncludes a FREE Hamcor Publishing Key Signature Bookmark\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWith familiar traditional melodies, accessible harmony parts and flexible accompaniment options, Airs for Pairs provides an enjoyable collection for musicians wanting to explore and perform the traditional music of Britain and Ireland together.\u003c\/p\u003e\t  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe 21 tunes are:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ctable style=\"width:100%; border-collapse:collapse;\"\u003e    \u003ctr\u003e      \u003ctd style=\"width:50%; vertical-align:top;\"\u003e        \u003cp\u003e          The Ash Grove\u003cbr\u003e          Blow the Wind Southerly\u003cbr\u003e          College Hornpipe\u003cbr\u003e          De il Amang the Tailors\u003cbr\u003e          Drops of Brandy\u003cbr\u003e          Egan's Polka\u003cbr\u003e          The Fairy Dance\u003cbr\u003e          Harvest Home\u003cbr\u003e          Haste to the Wedding\u003cbr\u003e          Mairi s Wedding\u003cbr\u003e          The Marquis of Lorne        \u003c\/p\u003e      \u003c\/td\u003e      \u003ctd style=\"width:50%; vertical-align:top;\"\u003e        \u003cp\u003e          Mrs McLeod s Reel\u003cbr\u003e          Off She Goes\u003cbr\u003e          Pop Goes the Weasel\u003cbr\u003e          The Rakes of Mallow\u003cbr\u003e          Sheebeg and Sheemore\u003cbr\u003e          Sir Sydney Smith s March\u003cbr\u003e          Skye Boat Song\u003cbr\u003e          Soldier s Joy\u003cbr\u003e          Staten Island\u003cbr\u003e          The Wind that Shakes the Barley        \u003c\/p\u003e      \u003c\/td\u003e    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e  \u003c\/section\u003e\t      \u003c!-- Bookmark Offer Section --\u003e\t \u003csection role=\"region\" aria-label=\"Free Bookmark Offer\"\u003e   \u003ch4 style=\"text-align: center;\" margin:\u003e*** EXCLUSIVE FREE BOOKMARK OFFER ***\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery\u003cstrong\u003e Airs for Pairs \u003c\/strong\u003emusic book includes a \u003cstrong\u003eFREE Hamcor Publishing Treble Clef Key Signature Bookmark\u003c\/strong\u003e   a practical reference tool to help with reading and learning key signatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003ePremium 350gsm silk card, laminated and printed on both sides\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003e210mm   55mm\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eAll major key signatures with their relative minor keys\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eStaff note names for lines and spaces\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eIdeal for flautists, students and teachers\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eA useful companion for lessons, practice and exam preparation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\t\u003c\/section\u003e\t     \u003cp class=\"double-space\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\t\u003c!-- Footer Image --\u003e\t\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"margin-top: 32px; float: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0863\/1192\/8151\/files\/HamcorFooterSales.png?v=1728916587\" alt=\"Free Delivery Next Day Dispatch Lowest Prices logo\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Mally Productions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55137046266199,"sku":"A13667","price":9.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0863\/1192\/8151\/files\/13667-K-1100.jpg?v=1790238264","url":"https:\/\/wesellmusicbooks.co.uk\/products\/airs-for-pairs","provider":"We Sell Music Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
