John Ciaglia and I have been diligently writing new music since the release of The Last Grand Chorus in 2016, and are now excited to present the results of our latest collaboration in a book called Sea Over Bow, which will be available on July 20, 2018! Greg’s melodies are influenced from a variety of traditions including music for the fife; Celtic jigs, reels, hornpipes; sea chanties; and even French bransles. Meanwhile the harmonic arrangements  have been masterfully crafted by Ciaglia. Ciaglia’s writing was described in our last book by Jim Clark:

No one, to my knowledge, has written more multi-part arrangements for the fife, and no one has done so with a firmer grasp of and sincere dedication to the principles of eighteenth century harmony (leavened with occasional forays into a kind of neo-Bartokian modal vocabulary).

~ James Martin Clark, Ph.D.

The book includes 125 pages of music, each tune arranged in four voices. If you are interested in purchasing a copy, please contact me and I will reserve a copy for you. The price is $30.

You can hear examples of the music on soundcloud:
