Paul Hardy s Basic Tunebook 2017

1 15 Sep, 017 Paul Hardy s Basic Tunebook 017 Introduction This Basic Tunebook contains a subset of the more commonly played and simpler tunes from Paul Hardy s Session Tunebook. Both tune books contain tunes that I have learned to play on my English concertina, that are played at folk music sessions: particularly around Cambridge () and Redlands (California), and at some UK concertina gatherings like those at Kilve in Somerset. They should also be playable on other folk melody instruments like fiddle, whistle, flute, or dulcimer. Most are traditional tunes from the British Isles, including many English, Irish, and Scottish dance tunes, but others are an eclectic mix of session favourites. Many have been learned by ear or handouts from various sessions in the UK and US, while others have been adapted from Internet resources, in abc, midi or visual score formats. All are believed free of current copyright (unless noted explicitly), or else appear to have been placed in the public domain as part of the ongoing live folk music tradition. Please let me know if you are the owner of any that are under access restrictions and I ll remove them. I have tried to present simple versions of most tunes, without much decoration and interpretation, so add your own triplets, grace notes and variations. I have included guitar chords, sometimes refined from computer-generated ones - use these as guidance, not definitive! Tunes in / time that have the rhythm indication "Hornpipe" should usually be swung - lengthen the first and shorten the second in every pair of quavers - as in "Thursday". Elsewhere these are sometimes written as dotted quaver, semiquaver, but that ratio of :1 seems too high - perhaps try for around :1. This tunebook has been prepared using the abcmps software, with help from abcmidi, abcmus, Melody Assistant, ABCexplorer, and EasyABC. A big thank you goes to those creative and dedicated people who give their time to create and maintain low-cost or free and open source software for abc music editing and output. Thanks also go to Greenshoots ( for the slow sessions near Cambridge in that let me learn many of these tunes, and then refined them (with special thanks to the Brind family for chord revisions); to the Chiltinas concertina group near Bedford and the WCCP Kilve weekends in Somerset that gave me concertina technique and playing confidence; the Ceili House Band in Redlands in California that opened my ears to the range of Irish music; the celtic jam sessions at Green Valley Lake in the nearby San Bernadino Mountains that broadened my repertoire, and to the sessions near my home village of Comberton that carry folk music forward to the next generation. The current version of this and the full session tunebook, in ABC and in PDF forms, is downloadable from Paul s web site at or you can order there a printed copy.
