Childsplay
Childsplay’s over two dozen musicians come from all over the United States and Sweden and include some of the leading virtuosos in traditional and contemporary fiddle music who create an instructive bridge between their audiences and the rich tapestry that is our heritage of traditional music and dance. For over 20 years, Childsplay has performed in the United States and Europe, showcasing different styles of fiddle music. Childsplay has introduced many thousands to the delights of traditional Irish, French-Canadian, Cape Breton, Bluegrass, Appalachian, and Scandinavian fiddle music, as well as jazz, swing, and classical music. The level of musicianship in Childsplay is unsurpassed, with players ranging from members of the Boston Symphony to the leading virtuosos of these various fiddle traditions.
Here we have a set of two of Childsplay’s recordings at a special set discount of $17.00.
The first CD, Twelve Gated City, is Childsplay’s first recording, done in 1992 in Washington after a long weekend of performing at a Seattle dance festival. There is a great range of music on this CD, from large-group ensemble playing with impromptu arrangements to solo and small-group recordings featuring different members. The group had so much fun making this recording that it shines through the music and ultimately gave them the impetus to embark on their many years of performing together. The second CD, Waiting for the Dawn, is Childsplay’s fifth, and most recent recording. It explores the relationship between Aoife O'Donovan's voice and the familial voices of the violins made by Bob Childs, in concert with the other instruments of the band.
