| "Bow
Triplets" or bowed
triplets is the expression
for one of the most frequent ornamentations used
by Irish fiddlers to add that special and
traditional groove and excitement that we know
and love with Celtic music. Three very short and
fast bow strokes are played instead of one note.
Bow
Triplets is also the name of this musical group but instead of playing merely the well
known groovy side of the Irish music, the musical
friends who form "Bow Triplets" are
always aiming at presenting all aspects of Celtic music. Ancient laments are mixed with
contemporary compositions, rhythmic instrumental jigs, reels and hornpipes with melancholic
magic. The Irish-Celtic
music is the cradle of American bluegrass, some New
Zealand gold mining ballades... yes even
Scandinavian folkmusic cannot deny its Celtic
root influence.
The Band is a
multinational project, well established in Switzerland and abroad
through many years of performing and the production of four
original CD albums and four compilations. World wide media describe the Bow Triplets as a top notch
Celtic band, their traditional interpretations as well as their
own compositions get frequent airplay in many radiostations around
the world.
The musicians come from Ireland, Sweden, Switzerland and Germany.
Manifold
instrumentations, exciting arrangements and much
fun while playing music together is what
contributes to giving the listening audience that
infectious and profoundly intimate concert
experience that they would expect from the Bow Triplets.
