Gentle Breeze: Celtic Music for Flute & Whistle

Gentle Breeze: Celtic Music for Flute & Whistle Review

This collection of pieces originally recorded for the Green Linnet label is ideal for anyone who loves Celtic music, the flute, or both. The music runs the gamut from fast-paced and exciting ("George White's Favourite/The Sligo Maid," "Kitty in the Lane/Captain Kelly/The Green Mountain") to slow and sweet ("Raibh Tu ag an gCarraig," "Gwerz ar Marc' hadourig Bihan/Autrefois Disait un Guerrier/Ton Derobee") to everything in between. There are quite a few standout pieces as well; "Gan Ainm/Emily's" has a traveling feel to it, and "Seamus Ennis' Jig/Connie O'Connell's" is an excellent flute and fiddle duet. The most exciting piece here, however, is "Paddy and the Bandit," featuring a fiddle and drum backing that adds considerable drama. Flute and whistle are the lead instruments here, so much so that it's sometimes hard to hear the backing instruments, but this is overall an excellent sampler. --Genevieve Williams Read more...

Irish Low Whistle Specifications

The Irish low whistle, which is basically a bass version of the standard tin whistle, was introduced into traditional Celtic music in the late 1970s. Joe McKenna, who both plays and builds uilleann pipes, made his first low whistle from a mouthpiece he found in a London junkshop, a piece of brass tubing from his workshop, and a liberal application of duct tape. On tracks like "Colonel Fraser/Ril Gan Anim" McKenna shows the mellow, almost wooden flute-like tone of the low whistle is well suited to traditional dance tunes, while selections like his own composition "Echo's Calling" prove it is equally suited to more contemporary music as well. McKenna's accompanists include his wife Antoinette on harp and John Doyle--the guitarist from Solas--as well as tin whistle player Mary Bergin. The low whistle may be a newcomer to Irish music, but in the hands of players like McKenna it should soon take its place alongside "foreign" instruments like the fiddle and the flute that have long since become accepted in the kitchen and pub sessions where Irish music is at its most traditional. --Michael Simmons
