I have encouraged people already to look at and consider using these marvellous musical works, [in personal messages section on c.net]. Unable to attach PDF file to private messages, so opportunity to show wider audience the Van Eyck musical works [ which are so ideal when adapted for concertina]. The 17th Century Dutch musician/ composer Jacob Van Eyck; who was blind, amassed a huge collection of music, which consist of many divisions upon themes, and which suit concertinas beautifully, with their direct timeless melodies. Intended for what we now call the 'Recorder' - they are often overlooked as being useable for other instruments, and yet their range works very nicely for free reed family of instruments [ a couple of octaves of stave]. When I first started playing concertinas I found copies of Van Eycj music, and they instantly became some of my favourite pieces to play ever since; timeless, and enigmatic tunes, for any instrument. The unharmonised presentation [ with them being soloist works] gve opportunity to add your own harmonies [ if you want to] .. and they are not dofficult to play; a relaxing alternative to the more academic pieces, and worthy of any collection. I hand copied hundreds of them myself, and attach here a PDF file of just a small selection, which I keep in my collection always, and so there will be penned in tablature marks I used to use a lot in those days, [ you can ignore those pen scribbles I am sure] however they are readable and, I hope, worth considering by all free reed musicians to add to their own collections. The PDF file is small size and here attached below this article. Let me know how you get on playing them, as I am sure you too will want to keep using them. music_by_Jacob_Van_Eyck selection.pdf
