shelly0312 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 O'Regan's--Montreal Tunebook and ABC Translator ....so Tallship, yes the ORegans worked perfectly to get the ABCs back to dots. And thank-you for redirecting me to the site. I hadn't been there for over a year--it sort of just slid out of sight. Lots of great stuff there: those 3/2 hornpipes and 7/8 tunes.! I think I've got a weekend's worth of entertianment.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Dunk Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 Here's a funny little tune I've just discovered as I was transcribing another collection for the Village Music Project. Some of the morris musicians may want to grab this and adapt it for an existing dance or better yet write a new dance! X:179 T:Mother Quoth Hodge or The New Way THO1.179 M:6/8 L:1/8 Z:vmp.

Pete Dunk Posted March 8, 2013 Author Share Posted March 8, 2013 A discussion started in a Tune of the Month thread reminded me of a transcription I did last year from Danny Chapman's hand written arrangement of the Playford tune Mr Beveridge's Maggot. I'm not sure if I've ever posted it on the forum so here it is. Well beyond my standard of playing but still fun to noodle around with and learn a thing or two from.

But despite the title of the discussion you sent me to that discussion is about "Nos Galen" aka "Deck The Halls" and not actually about the tune I was referring to at all. There might have been a different discussion, though I didn't search... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Dunk Posted April 7, 2013 Author Share Posted April 7, 2013 Charles Sherritt was an accordion player from Aberdeen, Scotland. Thanks for the info David although I'm blessed if I can find out anything about him or anything else he may have written. Well now, time for another tune methinks! This one will try out the skills of the very best players although it's very playable by anyone if the speed is kept down. It is intended to be played at a fair old lick it has to be said, and here it is played by the composer, Danny Chapman who pretty comprehensively cans the idea that Irish style can't be played on an English concertina.

Pete Dunk Posted May 27, 2013 Author Share Posted May 27, 2013 One of my current favourites is Anthony Robb's lovely slow air 'Lament for Ian Dickson', which I learned a few years ago from a music book. Someone recently mentioned that there was . I was delighted to find that I had the interpretation and timing spot on but surprised that my tempo, although slow and graceful in my opinion, was noticeably faster than the almost dirge like tempo of the original. I'm so used to playing it at a faster speed now that I'll probably stick with it for no better reason than that I like it that way.

Steve Mansfield Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Here's a Belgian schottische from the wonderful band Naragonia.

The tune book is well worth it - and the latest CD, Batiska, is the first one with substantial input from the quartet version of the band and is just lovely.
