...that more than forty students have performed as members of Celtic Music Society in grades 7-12?     Copyright © 2007,          Mark Gowman

Students in Celtic Music Society used to receive a new edition of our music book once or twice each year. New music is introduced constantly throughout the school year, and back then it would be incorporated into a new edition. In keeping with the Irish music tradition, our music is now introduced by rote, and most of it is never notated for students. The music on this page is from the January 2003 edition.   The complete 2001-2003 Celtic Music Society Tunebook A few tunes not found in the Book... Star of Munster (Reel) Boys of Bluehill (Hornpipe) The Maid Behind the Bar Each of the past few St. Patrick's Days we've played at the East Rochester Senior Center and a few other places that we've pulled out our large-type Irish Music Songbook that contains the following tunes: Down by the Sally Gardens The Minstrel Boy The Rose of Aranmore Raglan Road The Star of the County Down When Irish Eyes Are Smiling Note: The music contained on this page is all public domain except the arrangements of Eleanor Plunkett, Si Bheag, Si Mhor, and The Star of the County Down, which are © 2003 Mark Gowman. No other harmonies or arrangements are presented. This version: January 6, 2003. Tunes are presented as you would find them in a standard tunebook, with the melody and chords for guitar or other accompanying instrument.
