PREFACE
(from the First Edition)
The completion of this work has been one of constant delays, revisions, editing and
difficult decisions. It was originally composed as a tune book for fiddle players in 1985. By 1995,
I discovered that I had scribbled many tunes down and was at a loss at what to do with them, sothey traveled along with me without much thought. After a few years of remaining hidden awayand neglected, I selected a number of the tunes and added harmony to them, those being the ones
I felt were the most interesting and challenging. In 1999, I finally acquired a computer and the
proper musical software and went to work editing.
In preparing this work for publication, I had a difficult time deciding the overall scope
and format of the book. After considering the options, I experimented with a few of the tunes, and
came to a decision to present the music with rhythmic bass line accompaniments. The wonderful
advent of modern technology made my work much easier and efficient, and allowed me to edit
the tunes for playability. Thus, the idea to expand the melodies won out, and it evolved into the
work you now have in your hands.
The idea of the first, single melody fiddle-tune book was intended for educational
purposes as it pertained to fiddle players alone. In its present edition it is intended for keyboards,but also any C instrument may use it by simply reading the treble line as the accompanist
provides simple chords, etc. The tunes range from easy to moderately difficult in regards to
technique and execution. I have purposely omitted certain markings of musical expressions in the
music, such as slurs, bowing and fingering indications and specific metronome markings that
would normally be present in performance-ready material. The music is left open to the performer
to interpret. Some musicians will undoubtedly recognize the baroque flavoring of some of the
pieces. The upper melody line (as well as a few of the bass lines) may be improvised upon, as is
common practice among musicians of Traditional Dance Music.
The music serves a three-fold purpose; firstly, the performers of Traditional Music may
freely arrange the tunes to fit their tastes. The art of improvisation should be stressed as to theplacement of trills, rhythm alterations, etc. Secondly, teachers of a variety of musical instruments
may utilize the music to instruct students in the rudiments of their instrument, phrasing andcomposition. The teacher, student or performer, giving the music a personal quality may
complete the unmarked musical notation. Thirdly, students are more likely to practice if they have
some input into the music. The variety of styles may also aid students of music to broaden theirinterests in other areas of music history. I believe that studies in Baroque and Classical Music
usually produce better interpreters of the Traditional music of Ireland and Scotland. I should hope
that speaks for itself through the medium of the performers own creative process and musical
interpretation and that they will enjoy them as much as I did writing them.

PrefaceTo the Second Edition
I have been long at putting this work out and hope that it is a general
improvement of my first opus, as I have gained some increased understanding of
keyboard music composition and have had access to better tools in which to format themusic. The first editions of most works are always rather crude and amateurish, as
authors tend to analyze, over time, their previously released works and see many flaws in
the original production. This is the case with the Garden of Harmony, which being far
from a perfect work in and of itself, needed several improvements and I hope that this
edition will have met those necessary goals.
This edition has undertaken the task of eliminating unnecessary printing of
notated repeats, improved voicing changes, chord changes and endings, and took into
consideration the simplification of some left hand techniques for chords, as the original
seemed difficult to render properly on the keysa common fault of many violinist-
composers. Few necessary revisions were done to make to music more readable andprofessional in presentation. The ornaments and dynamics are left to the performer, but
some suggestions are present in this edition. The tunes are arranged in alphabetical order
for ease of location.
With all that in consideration, I leave you to use the works, as you will, for your
personal musical enjoyment and entertainments.
