Hello, Casto Sampedro is an very interesting book, but now its sold out... there is some news of a new edition revised, but at the moment there isn't an oficial confirmation...
I think it's very interesting, because the book edited is only a few sheets of his material that is in the Pontevedra museum (Galicia) here, in this museum is where are placed the hurdys of Perfecto Feijoo... you can look one in this page: http://www.retrouso.com/paxinas/zanfona_en_galicia/paxinas/fotofeijoo.htm bye ----- Mensaje original ---- De: Pat Wright <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Para: [email protected] Enviado: viernes, 30 de marzo, 2007 22:05:59 Asunto: Re: [HG] Drone tunes from Galicia, Spain Where do you get this Galician Songbook?? [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dear list, I added some MIDI tunes taken from the Galician Songbook by Casto Sampedro Folgar to my web page. The bulk of this book is a collection of tunes for bagpipes (gaita) and snare drum on G-C drones: wild circle dances to a heavy 6/8 rhythm ("muiñeiras") and many more. It includes also the four hurdy-gurdy tunes you already know through Marcello's book. http://www.geocities.com/iberiamidi Please do not take too seriously those nasty MIDI sounds. By the way, I agree to Simon's fight against windmills. There is nothing "Celtic" to this bagpipe music. And those references to Celtic-speaking people in Galicia up to the 15th century are absolutely false. (But the little pre-Roman round fortresses seem indeed Celtic).
