Jim Besser Posted February 5, 2014 Author Posted February 5, 2014 (edited) One more: Valse Des Chevaux De Bois. The B part is a finger twister on Anglo. I've been experimenting in the A part with different left hand patterns, not sure where I"m going with it. https://soundcloud.com/concertinist/valse-des-chevaux-de-bois-take Edited February 5, 2014 by Jim Besser
Patrick Scannell Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Nice Jim. I didn't know this tune was so sad.
Steve Mansfield Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 Frederic Paris has written more French valses and mazurkas than you can shake a stick at, all of them lovely. Here's my rough take on his mazurka La Capitaine, twice through on the 48 key treble. https://soundcloud.com/sfmans/la-capitaine
tona Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 (edited) Here is a first video attempt with my phone. Not enough remaining memory, the tune is cut before the end... It is a tune by Gus Viseur "Flambée Montalbanaise". Played here with my Dipper baritone duet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koxBvHtAWOk Edited February 9, 2014 by tona
Łukasz Martynowicz Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Great one Thomas! And it's nice to finally see you playing. I must say, that your playing is the best example of what duets are capable of in hands of a skilled player! Side note: I knew that you're playing Dipper custom, but I did'n knew that it has asymetric ends. Is the bass side thicker because it has two reedpans in two layers?
tona Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Hi! You are right for the multiple reedpan of the lefthand. It is because of the big low reeds...
Łukasz Martynowicz Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Thanks! Do you have, by any chance, something by Yann Tiersen in your repertoire?
tona Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 not really... but if Yann Tiersen is shortly the theme of a totm, why not?...
Chris Drinkwater Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) Here's my first contribution to theme of the month. It's a lovely French mazurka written by Maxou Heintzen, entitled L'inconnu de Limoise. A rough.melody only version, in the first instance. http://soundcloud.com/aeolaman/linconnu-de-limoise Chris Edited to correct my mis-spelling of the composer's surname.

A rough.melody only version, in the first instance. http://soundcloud.com/aeolaman/linconnu-de-limoise Chris Here's an ABC of one version of the tune along with a little note about the story apparently associated with it, and theo words. I don't have a translation of the words.. X:42 T:L'Inconnue de Limoise C:Maxou (J.F.)

W: When they were doing some roadworks, or demolition, or moving a graveyard, W: or something like that in Limoise they came across a grave containing both a skeleton W: and the remains of a set of pipes. The grave was un-named, so the identity of the piper W: was unknown, but the story caught the imagination of the French folk world and W: M Heintzen penned the tune in the piper's honour. Words reflect on the pipes and their meaning W: to the dead man. W: Il doit dotmia depuis tout ce temps Rieû Bentimeû|, soûs trois pieds de tene V'là qu'on le déranse, impoliment Quelle dûle d'idee, dchaneet d'cimetière Dcllans M tomhc. tout.ontre sa tê12 O a trcuvé son seul bagaqe Sa cornem se, sû chère musette Qui acîompaenë son srand vqraqe Car on na pas pu les sépater Et c'est peul-êtrc beaucoup nieu-\ ainsi On les a trouvés, ik dorment dans le ûême lil C'étai.t peut ètte pas uû maîlre-sonneur Mais il ainait ce sacré bout de bois Un peu comme une soeur que l'on vut gaftler pès de soi.
Chris Drinkwater Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Thanks for that, Chuck. It, indeed. was composed in honour of an unknown piper whose remains (including pipes) were unearthed unexpectedly during some excavations for construction work, so the story goes. I have since found out that this was the tune of the month in November 2009 on Melodeon.net, Knowing the story behind the origin of the tune, I was planning to put it up along with the ABC, in case anyone else wants to learn this delightful tune but you beat me to it!

twisper Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Here's my attempt at this month's theme......two waltzes, La Marianne by Frederic Paris; and the aforementioned tune by Jean-Christolph Lequerre, La Mal Aimable http://youtu.be/aggT6qrs2mE http://youtu.be/80uXH8cVVtU Played on my Stagi 30 button anglo (with a few stumbles)

tona Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 Here is an other video attempt with "mazurka de lanternaire" which is a traditional tune from Auvergne (France). I like this very simple tune with a minor part A and a major part B. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bv456mCCFkg But sound from mic of my Ipad is not very good and I can't resist to make a recording with my couple of studio mics. https://soundcloud.com/thoon-1/mazurka-de-lanternaire
