Title: Bodhrán
Description: "Colin F. Harte traces the bodhra n from its early origins in Irish traditional music to its present-day resurgence in Irish American folk music. Harte includes chapters on the instrument's historical and organological development, experimentation and innovation in playing styles over time, and a study of the instrument's performative practices. The central academic focus of the text is the recent, rapid developments in bodhra n design, performance practices, and teaching the bodhra n to a new generation of musicians"--
