Alastair J. Hardie: The Caledonian Companion
A Collection of Scottish Fiddle Music and Guide to its Performance

"The Caledonian Companion" presents a collection of Scottish fiddle music,
much of which is not otherwise currently available in a modern edition,
with a significant proportion being published here for the first time.
It sets out to elucidate a range of Scottish fiddle techniques: bowing,
fingering, phrasing, ornamentation, etc., essential to the idiomatic
performance of the style. With many illuminating and entertaining
historical notes, "The Caledonian Companion" will appeal to the solo
fiddler, the folk enthusiast (of whatever ethnic inclinations) and the
classical violinist intent on broadening his musical horizons, and it is
hoped it will be of special interest to the younger generation, awakening
in them an enthusiasm for this vitally colourful music. The compact disc,
"The Fiddler's Companion" has been produced in association with this
publication.
This features the playing of Alastair Hardie and Bill Hardie together
with that of Tom Anderson, Aly Bain, Angus Grant, Hector MacAndrew and
Donald Stewart. The performances consist mainly of music from
"The Caledonian Companion" with which these artists are particularly
associated.
