[EAN: 9780224041416], Used, very good, [SC: 2.8], [PU: Vintage Publishing, United Kingdom, London], CIARAN CARSON LAST NIGHT'S FUN A BOOK ABOUT IRISH TRADITIONAL MUSIC TIME FOOD AND, This is a book in the shape of a night's music. Each chapter is given the title of a tune, and like a session played by brilliant improvising musicians each tune leads into another, melodies and variations weaving in and out in a haze of talk and memory. Here is evocation of music of a ruthlessly unsentimental kind, but also polemic, autobiography and poetry. The reader is drawn into the atmosphere of the world in which the music is made - a player's music that is never the same twice, and which lives in performance and spontaneity. Listening to traditional music is an unrepeatable experience, so this book about the poignancy of lost airs, about music as 'a way of renegotiating lost time' and knowing that we will die, as well as instruments, styles and songs. Ciaran Carson's memories hold his extraordinary performance together - remembering how he learned to play, evoking the beauty of fugitive nights in pubs, honouring the memory dead players. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged., Books<
