Experience the Dorian mode through over 800 years of music in 26 new arrangements. For therapeutic musicians, faire enthusiasts, and everyone interested in the sounds of yore. • Sea shanties, Gregorian chants, troubadour ballads, folk songs, a folk dance, a slow air, sacred harp, and more.
• Songs from England, Ireland, Scotland, Sweden, the Isle of Man, Brittany, Hungary, medieval France, medieval Spain, the West Indies, and the United States.
• Full arrangements include lyrics, chord symbols, and historical background.

• Get tips for modifying and creating your own arrangements.
• Find out the answer to "Does Dorian start on D?" Learn how to determine if a piece is in Dorian.

This book is written especially for harpers and contains practical information for all musicians. The Dorian arrangements are in the key of D Dorian (all naturals).
The additional Aeolian and Mixolydian Lead sheets use keys with Bb, F#, and C#.
All scores fall within the range starting with the lowest note of C below middle C through two Es above middle C (24 strings). All arrangements include lyrics and chord symbols. Most of the arrangements fit on two pages.
Every Dorian arrangement is followed by Aeolian and Mixolydian lead sheets for you to compare, differentiate, and add to your modal repertoire.
Each song is followed by one or two pages of notes. These notes contain some information about the song's history.

This PDF is 144 pages.
