Paul Hardy's Basic Tunebook 2012

27 Jun, 2012 Paul Hardy’s Basic Tunebook 2012 Introduction This Basic Tunebook contains a subset of the tunes in Paul Hardy’s Session Tunebook. The subset is of the more commonly played and simpler tunes. Both tune books contain tunes that I have learned to play on my English concertina, that are played at folk music sessions, particularly in the areas around Cambridge, England and Redlands, California. They should also be playable on fiddle, whistle, flute, dulcimer, etc. Most are traditional tunes from the British Isles, many of Celtic origin, particularly Irish dance tunes, but others are from an eclectic mix of sources. Some have been adapted from Internet resources, originally in abc or midi formats. Others have been learned by ear or handouts from various sessions in the UK and US. 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 choose the simple versions of most tunes, without much decoration and interpretation, so add your own triplets, grace notes and variations. I have also included guitar chords, based on computer generated ones if not present at the tune’s source. This tunebook has been prepared using the abcm2ps software, with help from abcmus, Melody Assistant, and ABCexplorer. 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. Particular thanks also go to Greenshoots (www.greenshootsmusic.org.uk) for the slow sessions near Cambridge in England that let me learn many of these tunes; the concertina sessions at Chiltinas near Bedford in England that gave me confidence; the Ceili House Band in Redlands in California that opened my eyes and ears to the range of Irish music; to the celtic jam sessions at Green Valley Lake in the nearby San Bernadino Mountains that broadened my repertoire; and the Ceol Galore young musician practice sessions in my home village of Comberton that are carrying traditional 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 www.paulhardy.net, or you can order there a printed copy.
