Gary Chapin Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I've been researching this ancient sounding bourrée lately. It's one of the first I encountered and learned. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a recording of it on concertina (and vielle, but that's a different list). http://accordeonaire.blogspot.com/2011/06/bourree-on-donderon-garda.html Thanks, Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterT Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Hi Gary, I don't know about a recording, but this video includes a certain Mr. Day on anglo: Maybe Alan could advise whether he knows of a commercial recording, or, perhaps, put up a solo recording on YouTube. :-) Regards, Peter.

Gary Chapin Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 That's fantastic service, Peter. I am completely taken aback. Living far from the madding crowd and all that, I can't imagine having a crowd like that to play this repertoire. It looks absolutely joyous.

Firstly ,it's nice to know what it is called.I am happy to do a solo of it if you wish Gary.I sound pretty dominant on this George recording however. I could do a single note once through and then chords if you would like me to. Thanks Peter. Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm interested not so much to learn from, but because I'm a bit obsessed with this tune and the way different instruments and performers do it. I was listening to the different versions and -- maybe others don't see them as different -- I was struck that each had a very different character. So I am very interested in how you'd do it. Firstly ,it's nice to know what it is called. But we'll never know how it's spelled! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterT Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 But we'll never know how it's spelled!

Gary Chapin Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 From the recordings I have: Sylvain Piron: On d'onderon garda José Roux: Ont tirarem gardar? Christian Bessier: On Onarem Gardar Unknown Player: Ont Anarem Gardar On d'onderon garda, which you site, is in the Mel Stevens/Dave Mallinson set, and that's the spelling I use, but who can say???

Alan Day Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 As promised Gary ,Sorry about the out of focus start but it's OK when the music starts. I didn't like the single note start hope this is OK Also my hair,just washed it and can't do a thing with it !! Now where have I heard that before ?

Gary Chapin Posted June 28, 2011 Author Share Posted June 28, 2011 Wow, Alan, that's lovely. Very interesting stuff happening on your left hand. There's been a lot of discussion over on Mel.net about how to approach the left hand with three beat bourrees. Your approach seems to focus on the 3-1 rhythm (with a lot of variation according to the melody), but has some harmonically cool stuff happening. Thanks for posting this. What a great resource. Now to UPDATE blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now to UPDATE blog. Thanks Gary This type of bourree when dancing and playing you count 123-123 as you mention so the emphasis should be on the first note and add the other two beats for effect.The last time through is mainly how the French Melodion players play it.The start of the tune and the finish is very common in Central France but mainly for the Auvergne Region. As a difference in style and timing have a look at the very exciting tune Chasse Pain Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Mansfield Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 As a difference in style and timing have a look at the very exciting tune Chasse Pain Al Spook, pretty much the last tune I just played before putting the 'tina down and checking in to Cnet. It had gone out of my head for a few weeks, and then I was playing the brilliant Claeys, Paris, Chabenat and Decombel 'Live en Flandre' CD with a storming version of that tune on it. Great tune indeed, and a nice version Alan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Chapin Posted June 28, 2011 Author Share Posted June 28, 2011 And I was just thinking, "I've got to take the leap, spend the coin, and get that CD!" Spooky indeed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, Gary, you've just got to buy that CD. Great tunes, lovely arrangements, top-notch playing, and some wonderfully mad improvisational moments as you'd expect with Fred Paris and Gilles Chabenat on board. If 'Live en Flandre' leaves you cold then I'm afraid it's official - you just don't like French trad dance music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Chapin Posted August 14, 2011 Author Share Posted August 14, 2011 http://accordeonaire.blogspot.com/2011/08/youp-nanette-2-beat-bourree.html Another bourrée I've been working on. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Day Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 (edited) Gary here is a very similar bourée to the one you are playing.I will find the name if you like it. The speed and timing is just about right for dancing a two time bourée. (just danced to it).An old Rosbif tune. I am playing this in D but all on the G row,starting off on the pull Al Edited August 14, 2011 by Alan Day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Chapin Posted August 16, 2011 Author Share Posted August 16, 2011 (edited) Thanks, Alan, that is delight and same/different in the way that two trad tunes can be. Starting on the G on a pull? You madman! Edited August 16, 2011 by Gary Chapin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
