4 bagpipe tunes on concertina w/ link for dots, musicxml, xml

[Matt Heumann]

The first 3 tunes are a 6/8 march set from the 2016 Rideout Family Burns Night Concert and the last piece is a 2/4 strathspey/march named after the Pre-Revolutionary War "Colonial Militia" detailed to the British at the Straits of Mackinaw in Michigan. A million years ago Frank Edgley used to play this on Scottish small pipes with me on concertina. I've included in the dots my variation where in measures 10 & 14, where I replace the A & triplet with a "Birl".

Nice bellows technique.

Well done

Here are the tunes in ABC format, transcoded from your MusicXML versions, opens in my player, you can switch tunes from the controls at the bottom right:

Thanks Michael, I'm sure the ear learners will find that helpful. I originally had them play in Finale with the Bagpipe voice too. Keep up the good work.

Thanks!

 

When I import the xml for this tune into EasyABC I'm seeing several instances of text annotations which may(?) be meant to be accompaniment chords? In the 'worst' case, I'm seeing three consecutive text annotations ("^A""^E""_A") which appear (as might be expected) as an E and an A above the staff and an A below the staff. Are these intended to be accompaniment chords, or has EasyABC mangled the xml in some way?

 

Thanks.

Roger: I don't use ABC, but I believe Michael Eskin imports the musicxml file rather than the xml. I'm sure he has the answers you need. Hope it works out.
