Here is an alternate recording of my previously shared "Saltarello" arranged for mountain dulcimer... It is a 14th century dance piece that was typical of the Middle Ages and Renaissance; it is simply known as a "Saltarello." Apparently this piece was used to accompany a type of courtly dance, presumably one that involved a great deal of leaping, since "saltare" means "to leap" in Italian. I dedicate this piece to all you revelers and lovers of fun! www.JessicaComeauDulcimer.com Facebook: www.facebook.com/JessicaComeauDulcimer YouTube Channel: (http•••)
Jessica Comeau Herbert Hughes Thorn 1891
“The Gartan Mother’s Lullaby” is one of the songs from my new fantasy and fairy-themed album “Faerie Memories: Fantasy Music with an Acoustic Heart” ((http•••)). It was also included in the lullaby episode of the Hearts of the Dulcimer podcast by Patricia Delich and Wayne Jiang (www.dulcimuse.com). My arrangment includes both standard and baritone mountain dulcimers and is in the key of A (A-E-A for baritone). This song was composed by Joseph Campbell, who wrote the lyrics, and Herbert Hughes, who collected the traditional melody and both edited and arranged it. The Gartan parish of County Donegal is also known as the birthplace of Saint Columba, one of the patron saints of Ireland. The lyrics call forth images of several fairies of Irish mythology: Aoibheall (EE-val), the queen of the northern fairies; the Green Man, a mysterious figure that shares traits with the Celtic nature deity Cernunnos; and Siabhra (SHEE-vrah), a general name for “fairy,” which some say refers to a trooping fairy, or the kind of fairy that moves and dwells in a group. The mother in the song calls her child “leanbhan” (LYAN-van), which means “little child” or “babe.” The classic illustration featured in this video is “Die Mondfee” (The Moon Fairy) by Hermann Kaulbach (1891), and it was once published in a German magazine called, interestingly enough, Die Gartenlaube! Sleep, O babe, for the red bee hums The silent twilight’s fall: Aoibheall from the Grey Rock comes To wrap the world in thrall. A leanbhan O, my child, my joy, My love and heart’s desire, The crickets sing you lullaby Beside the dying fire. Dusk is drawn, and the Green Man’s thorn Is wreathed in rings of fog: Siabhra sails his boat till morn Upon the starry bog. A leanbhan O, the pale half moon Hath brimmed her cusp in dew, And weeps to hear the sad sleep-tune I sing, O love, to you. www.JessicaComeauDulcimer.com Facebook: www.facebook.com/JessicaComeauDulcimer YouTube Channel: (http•••)

This basic mountain dulcimer lesson is for people who have yet to meet the Appalachian mountain dulcimer or who might enjoy an introduction to the playing style that I am featuring. It includes three parts: I. Meet the Mountain Dulcimer, II. The Dulce Melos Method, and III. The Water is Wide. This video includes Parts I and II, and Part III is in a second installment: (http•••) Correction Notes: On page 124 and in the video “How to Play the Mountain Dulcimer,” the correct recommended string gauges should be .010 inches for the treble string, .014 inches for the middle, and .023 inches for the bass. :-) Also, C3 is the code for middle C on Yamaha keyboards, but middle C is also known as C4 (follow your ears! :-).
