TO ENGLAND AND THE CELTIC LANDS has been an adventure in music, culture and spirituality. Roger Davidson assembled this book for two reasons:

• because he is enthralled by the traditions of the British Isles and the Celtic lands, the music and dances of which have stood the test of time
• because he believes that the joy and inspiration from dances of yore can continue to uplift us all — regardless of our ages, faiths or cultures of origin

The entire set (5 volumes) includes over nine hundred tunes written over the past four decades, representing the cultures of England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall, the Isle of Man, the Isle of Wight and Brittany, through many eras of music and dance.

The majority of the tunes in this book, are centered around the European dance traditions of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. But many also connect back to earlier pagan and other cultural histories.

Volume I includes a section of introductory tunes — ceremonial and processional pieces — because such music may be called for at dances or other forms of gathering. There is also a section of tunes intended to be played at the intermission of a formal dance, or as background music at any formal occasion.
 There are 104 tunes in total in Volume I.
