Description:

See the ABC home page http://abcnotation.com/ for a specification of this notation, software (mostly free or cheap) for processing it and links to archives of music transcribed in it. The rationale for my tune collections is: not to duplicate what anybody else is doing to do it right the first time The tunes are mostly taken from old and rare sources most people don't have access to, and edited as carefully as possible. ABC is very compact; none of these files are big. If you don't want to install anything on your computer, there are web-based converters at these sites: http://www.colinhume.com/Music.aspx http://mandolintab.net/abcconverter.php http://www.clivew.com/abc.php http://www.sessionlist.com/abctopdf For all of them, you just paste some ABC into a box and it'll give you both staff notation and a playable MIDI file. (When using your browser as an ABC application in this way, set it to display the ABC with a fixed width font like Courier). Another tool that may be useful in conjunction with these is Jens Wollschlager's ABC transposer. An illustrated tutorial on modes and tonality in Scottish music with hundreds of tune examples, aimed at performers rather than musicologists. I update this continuously with new ideas and example tunes. Tunes from the repertoire of Edinbal, Edinburgh's "bal folk" group for modern European folkdance. They are in both ABC and PDF formats. Finnish tunes: this is a cleaned-up version of an ABC file originally uploaded by Dick Atlee. 36-page PDF file generated from it. The Nine-Note Tunebook, over 600 tunes for narrow-range instruments nine notes up from middle C, mainly on the white notes but with a few accidentals. They come from many different cultures and genres. Klezmer tunes as played by the Edinburgh Klezmer session, which meets upstairs at the Fiddler's Elbow, Picardy Place, every second Thursday between 7.30pm and 9.30pm.

A collection of 40 Scottish session tunes, intended as a resource for musicians visiting Scotland who already play an instrument but are new to Scottish music. Start any of these a in pub session and somebody will join in with you.

All the tunes (both songs and Northumbrian pipe tunes) from Bruce and Stokoe's Northumbrian Minstrelsy of 1882. Andrew Blaikie's ballad tune manuscript of the early 19th century, 134 tunes with Blaikie's own simple and tasteful bass lines (this uses BarFly syntax for multivoice ABC). David Young's dance manuscript of 1740 in the Bodleian Library. This has the most fashionable dances of that year in Edinburgh, with tunes and detailed dance instructions. (Young was responsible for some of the most important collections of his time, particularly the vast Macfarlan MS). I've tried to notate Young's amazing calligraphy in ASCII. G.S. McLennan tunes; a carefully edited collection of all the tunes Pipe Major G.S. McLennan published in his lifetime, a few others, and a bibliography of his work.

A few American tunes published in Edinburgh by John Clarkson around 1805, for the piano. 16 Highland dance tunes from an early 19th century collection by Alexander McKay. This is contemporary with Simon Fraser's better-known collection of Highland music, but the settings are much simpler and far more believable as a record of the way Highlanders might have played it at the time.

I'm playing "The March Hare", which modulates from A minor to D minor, and the perplexed expression of the harmonica player (Eddie Wallace from Glasgow) is because he's wondering what on earth is the appropriate moothie to use for it. Me and George Current at the Bells Sunday session, in 2008 (photo by Sean from Derry). I'm playing a Lee-Collins-modified Zen-On Bressan treble recorder; the sax is a 1922 Buescher C melody.

I've been in a few groups over the years, including a long musical partnership with Harriet Grindley (clarsach).Another of my musical multiple personalities used to play the washboard with the band for Edinburgh's New England contradance group. The group has now folded, but if you come across someone around Edinburgh or at a Scottish festival playing a washboard for traditional music in a unique style based on military and dance-band snare drumming, that's me.This link kills spam
