Celtic music is popular for weddings here in the San Francisco Bay area.  Many weddings here are outdoors, and especially in springtime , the green rolling hills of Sonoma County remind many people  of Ireland.
NEW! Available March 2008! Maidens of Melody, Dorothy Barth's beautiful new anthology of Irish sheet music duo arrangements from O'Neills Music of Ireland is now available. These duos can be played on recorder and violin, flute and violin, or two violins.
Below are some evocative airs from O'Neill's Music of Ireland performed by Dorothy Barth on solo  violin.

Serenade   St. Peter’s in bloom So early this year, Flower of spring, I serenade thee.   Tulip tree, Drenched in sun, Springtime sun, I serenade thee.   Bow ignites, Notes take wing, Serenade ’s The only thing.   Till suddenly A splendid sound Greets my Solitary round.   I slow my bow, I still my song, Birds of spring, They serenade me.   Dorothy Barth 2007			Almost springtime.

I particularly enjoy the Edward Huws Jones fiddle collections, partially listed below. They can be played solos or as duos with easy violin accompaniment. Or you can purchase the complete score, which also includes piano accompaniment as well as a more elaborate double-stopped violin accompaniment.
