Lesl Harker, player and teacher of the Irish flute, has published two award-winning Rafferty tune books of Irish Traditional Music, and Second Wind is the second of them. Both books were authorised by the late East Galway flute player and National Heritage Fellow Mike Rafferty, for use by students, teachers, Irish traditional musicians and enthusiasts. Lesl spent 13 years studying and playing with Mike, and her books document his approach to the music.Second Wind contains Lesl's next 300 lesson tunes from Mike. They are transcribed from Mike's own flute settings, and are also very playable by other traditional melody instruments.The book is fully indexed, includes a discography listing tunes in the book that he has recorded, and stories from Mike about the tunes. Additional information about the books can be found on Lesl's own teaching website at https://iflute.weebly.com/The "Distinguished Achievement in the Preservation of Irish Music and Culture" award was presented to Lesl in 2009 by Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann, the international Irish music association, upon publication of Second Wind. This "Book 2" is now being offered here on Amazon to ensure that it remains available to a global audience. It's Irish Traditional Music from the master, the Mighty Mike Rafferty."It's the best resource I've ever seen for fresh, "flute-like" takes on great tunes. It contains about the most insightful and nuanced transcriptions one could hope for." - CW Read more
