Fiddlin’ for the Sasunnach

A Flexible Compendium of English Folk Tunes

A painting depicting a tranquil river scene with a horse-drawn cart partially submerged in the water, carrying two figures. The foreground shows the river and cart, while the background features lush green trees and a cloudy sky. Overlaid on the painting, the text reads: "C728 Fiddlin' for the Sasunnach A Flexible compendium of English Folk Tunes arranged for Two Violins OR Violin and Viola with Optional Cello by William McConnell."

A flexible compendium of thirty English folk tunes arranged for two violins OR violin & viola, with optional cello. Sasunnach means English in Scots Gaelic. The violins and/or viola play from the book and if a cellist can be found, they play from the optional pull-out cello part.

Note: Sasunn means England in Scots Gaelic. Sasunnach means English.

Folk music is the product of evolution. It is the composition of the people, and in their music is reflected not only the characteristics of the race, but also the culture of the countryside.

English folk music is tuneful and rhythmic, not as mystic in feeling as the Irish, or as plaintive and spirited as the Welsh and Scots, but purely melodic as Plainsong. There is little evidence of any folk harmony, projecting a very real national expression. The Hornpipe, for example, is peculiar to England and is associated with sailors and the sea. Hornpipes are to be found in the works of Handel and Purcell. The Rant is a mysterious name given to an old English dance dating back to the 16th Century.
