Allan MacDonald Scottish Piping > Musicbooks
The Moidart Collection (3rd edition) (sheet music book and CD) ALMACBK1
The Moidart Collection (3rd edition) (sheet music book and CD)
A mixture of traditional tunes from Scotland and Ireland, and twentieth century compositions, 31 of which are Allan's own.

The 3rd edition of Allan MacDonald's Moidart Collection, A Cheud Ceud (The First Hundred), comprised of one hundred tunes, including a piobaireachd. An audio CD of the tunes accompanies the book.

The first publication of Allan's very popular collection was in 1989. He has dispensed with dotted quavers and semi-quavers in the reels to reflect his own 'open' style of playing.

Allan MacDonald was raised in the small community of Glenuig, in a Gaelic-speaking area of the West Highlands. He began piping at an early age and pursued a competitive career which included winning the Inverness Clasp on two occasions. He was taught by P/M John MacKenzie and also by Bob Nicol of Ballater and Roddy MacDonald of South Uist.

After becoming ambivalent towards the competitive discipline of piping, he encouraged the introduction of alternative styles of playing Ceol Beag ('light music') from the 1970s onwards. In the classical genre of Ceol Mor (piobaireachd), he explored the extent to which modern styles of playing differed from those of the 18th century. In his M Litt thesis, completed at Edinburgh University's School of Scottish Studies, he studied the relationship between piobaireachd and Gaelic language rhythms in song, placing the tunes in their original socio-linguistic context.

A4 paperback, landscape format.

Uilleann piper John McSherry has been performing and recording with everybody from Donal Lunny to Clannad and The Corrs.

Coming from a family steeped in traditional music, John focused his energies on the pipes from an early age. By the time he reached fifteen he had two All Ireland Championship titles under his belt, and at the age of eighteen he was the youngest ever winner of the prestigious Oireachtas piping competition.

John has toured the world as both a solo performer and a member of several outstanding bands. He was a founding member of top trad band Lunasa, whose albums rocked the Irish music world. He also joined forces with his siblings in the trad/rock group Tamalin, whose debut album was Rhythm And Rhyme.

Collaborations followed with Donal Lunny's ground-breaking supergroup Coolfin (which included Sharon Shannon and Nollaig Casey), wooden flute master Michael McGoldrick (At First Light was voted Best Traditional Album of the year by the Irish American News), fiddle prodigy Donal O'Connor (Tripswitch album), Clannad, Sinead O'Connor, Nancy Griffiths, Shaun Davey, Dan Ar Braz and The Corrs.
