‍This section of All Things Breton represents a new concept for the site. The intent here is to offer not only reviews and articles about musical scores and tutorials, but actual downloadable content. Of course we also intend to comply with applicable copyright laws, so all of the material presented here will be either historical and/or thoroughly out of print. We expect this section to fill quite slowly, as scanning rare and sometimes aged and fragile books page by page, and then graphically cleaning up each page and compiling it all into a high-quality PDF is very labor-intensive.

‍Guitarist Soïg Siberil  passed away in April of 2025. Siberil was considered one of the greatest fingerstyle guitarists in the world, but that doesn’t begin to describe the importance of his stature in the world of Breton music. We are working on a comprehensive article to celebrate the life of this influential figure, presenting an overview of his activities, recordings, and accomplishments, but this is not that article.

‍ 

‍In 1997 the now-defunct Coop Breizh published Musique Celtique, the first of two tutorial books that Siberil created in his lifetime. Our goal is to eventually produce both books on this site for download, as both the artist and the publisher are sadly no more, and we are concerned with keeping these important documents readily available for musicians into the future.

‍

‍Musique Celtique was published after Siberil released his second solo album, Entre ardoise et granit. As such, the tracks here represent material from the earlier part of his career, and therefore are representative of his work with the legendary group Kornog, the group Orion, and his first two solo recordings, particularly Entre ardoise et granit.
