Description

The Wexford Tunebook Compiled and Edited by John Roche

The Wexford Tunebook is a book of traditional compositions, collections and repertoire of County Wexford. Compiled and edited by John Roche.

The Wexford Tunebook is a collection of over 450 traditional or traditional style pieces of music gathered from various sources throughout County Wexford and from the Wexford diaspora. Much of the collection consists of traditional tunes composed by County Wexford musicians which have been notated in printed music for the first time. A feature of the book is the additional inclusion of music gleaned from older printed and manuscript sources that associate the tunes with County Wexford. The book has been compiled by the Wexford fiddle player John Roche.

The Wexford Tunebook was published by wexford County Council as a special project to coincide with the hosting of the Comhaltas Fleadh Cheoil na hEireann in Wexford town in August 2024. The publication was generously supported through funding from Comhaltas Fleadh Cheoil na hEireann, Fleadh Executive Committee and additional funding from Comhaltas Ceoltori Eireann.
