NPS Charlton Memorial Tune Book 3rd Ed

First Published in 1956, this book derives its title from the first president of the Northumbrian Pipers' Society who held that position from its inception in 1926 until his death in1943. It was intended that this should provide material to extend the repertoire of the small-pipe players of the day, and the majority of the tunes were drawn from the manuscript collection of John Armstrong of Carrick. Many of the tunes in this collection are in modes and forms which hark back to former times and so represent the traditional foundations of Northumbrian music.

Now in third edition expanded and edited by Julia Say

64 pages - A5 Landscape - Folded & Stapled - Card Cover
