音乐风格
哨笛是一种很特别的乐器,就像画眉鸟的嗓子。中国的短笛声音与它如此相似,却表达着完全不同的音乐情感。
在哨笛甜美的声音里,你会听见一丝隐约的沙哑和沧桑,每一个尾音,会非常随意和放肆地留下一个回旋的音符,散漫慵懒,隐藏着纯朴和野性。
哨笛倾诉着流浪和寂寞,流露出纯洁而洒脱的感情,那声音纯净得不似来自人间。

Life and career
Joanie Madden is an Irish-American flute and whistle player of Irish traditional music. She is best known as leader of the all-female group Cherish the Ladies, but has also recorded and performed with numerous other musicians, and as a solo artist.She also teaches master classes and workshops.
Madden was born in the Bronx to Irish immigrants. Her father, Joe, was an All-Ireland Champion on the accordion and a well known and respected Irish musician who was inducted into the Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann Mid-Atlantic Region Hall of Fame in 1992. As a young child, Madden started her journey as a musician by taking some lessons on the fiddle and piano, but the instruments didn't hold her interest. She eventually became enamored with the tin whistle, and paid for her own lessons with neighbor and National Heritage Award Winner, Jack Coen. As a teenager and young adult, she gained experience playing with her father's band, and with classmate Eileen Ivers. In 1983, at the age of 18, she won the All-Ireland Championship on both the flute and tin whistle, and in 1984 she travelled back to Ireland to compete once again and became the first American to win the Senior All-Ireland Championship for tin whistle. Shortly after, Mick Moloney contacted her about performing, emceeing and helping him organize a concert series featuring women musicians. Joanie suggested the title; "Cherish the Ladies" as the name of the concert series and this developed into the Internationally renowned band by the same name, which Joanie has headed since its inception.Since then, she has performed and recorded on over 200 albums and is in constant demand as a soloist and recording artist. While the majority of her work is within the Irish tradition, she has also played on film scores and with artists of varied styles such as Sinéad O'Connor and Pete Seeger, Don Henley, Kathy Mattea, Eileen Ivers, The Boston Pops and many more. She has recorded three solo albums; her solo album ‘Song of the Irish Whistle’ is the most successful whistle album ever recorded in history, selling hundreds of thousands of units. On February 17, 2007, Madden followed in her father's footsteps and was honored when she was inducted into the Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann Mid-Atlantic Region Hall of Fame.
In 2011, Joanie Madden received the Ellis Island Medal of Honor in recognition of her artistry and her support of Irish-American music and culture. She also had a street named after her on the Grand Concourse in her native Bronx; Joanie Madden and Cherish the Ladies.
In 2012 Madden was named a Fellow of United States Artists.
In 2013,Brian Keane released soundtrack ‘Copper: Original Soundtrack’ , Joanie as a guest artist.
In 2015,Liz Madden’s album ‘Legacy’ was released.Joanie also appeared as a guest artist.
Madden's choice of flute is rare in Irish traditional music circles as she plays a Boehme-system flute (sometimes referred to as a "classical" or "silver" flute), in contrast to the majority of flute players within the Irish Traditional genre who play simple-system wooden flutes. The classical flute is widely considered an inferior choice of instrument for this style of music, since it is difficult or impossible to perform certain ornamentation (most notable slides) on it. Madden has broken down these barriers and has been singled out by some of the leading lights in the flute world, Matt Molloy of The Chieftains and James Galway, and both have remarked that Madden is one of the best flutists in Irish music today.
