This collection is a choice, among the numerous traditionnal irish melodies, that came from my use of this repertoire. As a music teacher, I used a lot the traditionnal and today musics (jazz, pop, gospel ...) for my personnal interest in them but also for their pedagogic potentialities for vocal polyphony. My motivation is first for the pupils, but as a coir conductor, I have translated this work for vocal ensemble.
This book thus would like to be a kind of open door to irish musics, characterized by a huge instrumental and vocal repertoire and helps choirs to access it through choir practice.
