This is a book of "Tunes and Harmonies for fiddlers playing together" - a delightful book of duets by Magdalena Reid and is the result of her many years working and writing arrangements for fiddle groups. The tunes arrangements are greatly influenced by the popular Swedish tradition of harmony playing as Magdalena is Swedish - though having lived in the UK for many years she is also very knowledgeable about traditional tunes from here too.

The second and third part harmonies and other accompaniment options she gives in the book offer simple accompaniment options for even the most beginner fiddler to more progressive harmonies and other techniques to make group playing fun. This is an inspiring collection for groups of friends to play or groupwork classes and is well presented with clear text and music.

Each of the harmony parts for the tunes in the book are played as individual tracks to make learning them easy. The tune is then played as a group recording so you can hear how the whole piece sounds with all the harmonies added.

This is a very useful guide for the book. The CD has been split into two parts as it contains 87 tracks.

The tunes are beautifully played by Emma Reid, Magdalena's daughter, and recorded by Daniel Carlsson.
