Book Synopsis Ireland, a Bicycle and a Tin Whistle by : David A. Wilson
Download or read book Ireland, a Bicycle and a Tin Whistle written by David A. Wilson. This book was released on 1995. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just as traditional Irish music is characterized by ornamentations and elaborations on a melodic theme, Ireland, a Bicycle, and a Tin Whistle is full of variations and wanderings on the theme of the trip itself. And just as traditional Irish musicians will follow a sad slow air with a lively foot-tapping reel, Wilson's mood ranges from the nostalgic and reflective to the irreverent and mischievous. If there is a lament in one ear, there is always a song in the other.
