These are recordings\u00a0of Grey Larsen playing all the tunes that appear in the\u00a0book\u00a0300 Gems of Irish Music for All Instruments<\/a>. Grey plays the tunes unaccompanied on Irish flute, tin whistle and anglo concertina.<\/p>\n

Included is a list of\u00a0the tunes as well as\u00a0further information on the recordings.<\/p>\n

Each of these 300 tunes also<\/em> appears in one or the other of the books\u00a0150 Gems of Irish Music for Tin Whistle<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>or\u00a0150 Gems of Irish Music for Flute<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em>These books each come with free\u00a0downloadable audio\u00a0of the tunes that appear\u00a0in that book.<\/p>\n

However, 49 of the 300 tunes contained in these two books include notes that go below the range of the standard Irish flute and tin whistle. In the recordings that come with\u00a0150 Gems of Irish Music for Tin Whistle<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0150 Gems of Irish Music for Flute<\/a>,<\/em>\u00a0such too-low notes (and sometime other adjacent notes) are transposed up an octave, in order to match the transcriptions in the books.<\/p>\n

In the audio collection of all 300 tunes being offered on this page, Grey Larsen re-recorded those 49 tunes on anglo concertina, playing all the low notes in their original register. By doing so, he insured that all 300 recordings in this audio collection match the transcriptions given in the book\u00a0300 Gems of Irish Music for All Instruments<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Some people may wish to purchase\u00a0recordings of\u00a0only<\/em>\u00a0those 49 concertina recordings<\/strong>, especially if they already own\u00a0150 Gems of Irish Music for Tin Whistle<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>and\/or\u00a0150 Gems of Irish Music for Flute<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>and the recordings that come with them.
