Universal Edition Gaelic & British Melodies

Gaelic music holds a unique charm, drawing listeners in with its rich cultural expression and emotional depth.

In Gaelic & British Melodies for Flute and Guitar, Paul Coles—renowned composer, guitarist, and educator—presents a captivating collection of traditional and original pieces from the Gaelic and British musical heritage. This carefully curated selection highlights the natural harmony between flute and guitar, a pairing that beautifully conveys the spirit and character of each melody.

The collection spans a wide emotional range—from the lively “The Leprechaun’s Hop!”, to the hauntingly melancholic “Fhear a Bháta”, and the stately, dramatic “Lord Thomas and Fair Ellinor.” Together, these pieces create a diverse and engaging musical experience.

The light and accessible arrangements make this book particularly well-suited for schools, folk clubs, and private duos seeking something both melodic and slightly off the beaten path.
