O knihe

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Here Northumbria is taken to mean the counties of Northumberland, the northernmost county of England, and County Durham, Sunderland (once part of County Durham), as well as part of Tyne and Wear. The region possesses a distinctive style of folk music with a strong and continuing tradition. The region is particularly noted for its tradition of border ballads, the Northumbrian smallpipe (a form of bagpipe unique to north-east England) and also a strong fiddle tradition in the region that was already well- established in the 1690s. Northumbrian music is characterised by considerable influence from other regions, particularly southern Scotland and other parts of the north of England. Irish tunes are also much played in the region, as they are elsewhere. Traditional and distinctive Northumbrian styles were revived in the nineteenth century and again in the twentieth. More recently, Northumbrian folk music, and particularly the use of the Northumbrian pipes, has become one of the liveliest and most widely known forms of folk music in Britain.
