The traditional music of Brittany has long been a passion for guitar and mandolin player David Surette, who has now edited and published a collection of Breton dance tunes. Fest Breizh contains 50 traditional dance tunes: gavottes, en dros, larides, and many others, collected and transcribed in standard notation, with chords provided as well. Unlike some previous collections, which have been principally keyed with a B-flat bombarde and bagpipe in mind, these are all in typical fiddle tunes keys. There is also an extensive discography, which provides the means to tracking down a recorded version of the tune, as well as some background notes and information about Breton music. the book contains most of the Breton material that Surette has recorded on his 4 solo CDs over the years.

In Victorian times, England was famously dubbed the land without music - but one of the great musical discoveries of the early twentieth century was that England had a vital heritage of folk song and music which was easily good enough to stand comparison with those of other parts of Britain and overseas. Cecil Sharp, Ralph Vaughan Williams, Percy Grainger, and a number of other enthusiasts gathered a huge harvest of songs and tunes which we can study and enjoy at our leisure. But after over a century of collection and discussion, publication and performance, there are still many things we don't know about traditional song - Where did the songs come from? Who sang them, where, when and why? What part did singing play in the lives of the communities in which the songs thrived? More importantly, have the pioneer collectors' restricted definitions and narrow focus hindered or helped our understanding? This is the first book for many years to investigate the wider social history of traditional song in England, and draws on a wide range of sources to answer these questions and many more.
