D'Aon Ghuth Vol. 2

A companion volume to D'Aon Ghuth 1, this book contains another 10 highly entertaining and enjoyable Irish-language songs, appropriate to the language, musical and vocal ability of middle primary school children (3rd to 4th Classes). These brand new songs will again stimulate pupils both musically and linguistically, as well as allowing them to explore a variety of moods and emotions. Choirs at secondary level should also find something there to interest them; the songs are ideal for use in competitions and make excellent concert showpieces for any age group.D'Aon Ghuth is intended for use with the Irish national curriculum for music from 2005. There are suggested activities for pupils and helpful motes for teachers. A CD is included, containing brilliantly scored backing tracks and high-quality sample performances. The pupils' pages may be photocopied for use in the classroom or choir.
