Riverdance Music

Book is nicely bound and printing is clear. Would be nice to have been spiral bound. A nice representation of the music. Includes tabulatur for guitar.

Good content, but awkward to place on a music stand

The beginning pages provide some background on each piece, describing things both artistic and technical, such as historical influences and musical structure. As far as I can tell, the music for each piece in the book is faithful to the music from the show and has not been simplified, embellished, or rearranged for other instruments. The book is about 8 mm thick with an inflexible hard glued spine. If you open the book, it will not naturally lie flat when placed on a music stand. You will likely need page holder clips, which makes turning pages awkward. At 400 grams, the book is also a bit heavy for some collapsible stands.

One Hundred Thousand Cheers!

This book is terrific! I've wanted to play fiddle along to my Riverdance CD for the longest time, and now I can.
