From Dunkeld to Dunkineely : the highlands and strathspeys of Donegal / Caoimhin Mac Aoidh and Jack Schroevers - 239 pages : illustrations, sheet music ; 30 cm

For a small island with a small population, Ireland has a startlingly rich range of traditional instrumental music, most of it dance music. Newcomers to its contemporary national traditions, and those of its diaspora, will first experience reels in great abundance, and to a lesser degree jigs and hornpipes, but longer acquaintance will reveal many other forms surviving from the past, among them set dances, marches, quadrilles, polkas, slides, mazurkas, barn dances, flings, schottisches, and the subject of this book: highlands and strathspeys.
