Thread Name: Singer & fiddler - how to arrange?
Subject: Singer & fiddler - how to arrange?
I've started working with a fiddle player - me singing, she accompanying. Some songs are working, some aren't. (One thing we've quickly discovered, for example, is that the fiddle can overpower (I don't mean in volume) the voice if played (even as a drone) throughout the song, so we're experimenting with using bits of fiddle-playing scattered through.)

Has anyone else tried this duo combination? or are there any well-known duos I can listen to?

Do you have examples of songs that work well arranged like this?

Can you give me hints for how to arrange songs for voice and fiddle?

Many thanks!
