Paul Hardy's Session Tunebook 2020 14 Sep, 2021 Paul Hardy’s Session Tunebook 2021 Introduction This tunebook contains tunes I have learned to play on my English concertina, that are played at folk music sessions: particularly around Cambridge (England) and Redlands (California), and at some UK concertina gatherings like those of the WCCP 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, or provide appropriate attribution. Thanks go to those who gave permission for copyrights of the few modern tunes, such as Andy Cutting. Particular thanks to Kathryn Tickell of Coquetdale Music Publishing for Northumbrian tunes by herself, Billy Pigg, Willie Taylor, and Will Atkinson. 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 4/4 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 3:1 seems too high - perhaps try for around 2:1. This tunebook has been prepared using the abcm2ps software, with help from abc2midi, 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 (www.greenshootsmusic.org.uk) for the slow sessions near Cambridge in England 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; and the celtic jam sessions at Green Valley Lake in the nearby San Bernadino Mountains that broadened my repertoire. The current version of this tunebook, in ABC and in PDF forms, is downloadable for free from Paul’s web site at www.paulhardy.net, or you can order there a printed and bound copy (via Lulu.com). Find there also Paul Hardy’s Annex Tunebook for new and improved tunes and errata since last major release of the Session Tunebook, the Basic Tunebook, with about 60 of the most common and simpler tunes, and Paul Hardy’s Xmas Tunebook with about 60 Christmas tunes and carols.

  • The Generations Tunebook Was Born of Necessity During the Course of an Educational Initiative Called, ‘The Generations Project’
    South Riding Folk Arts Network The Generations Tune Book Dance music from three centuries arranged for mixed ensembles compiled and designed by Paul Davenport The Generations Tune Book The Generations Tune Book Dance music from three centuries arranged for mixed ensembles compiled and designed by Paul Davenport South Riding Folk Arts Network © 2005 The Generations Tune Book Introduction The Generations Tunebook was born of necessity during the course of an educational initiative called, ‘The Generations Project’. The project itself was initially, a simple exercise in Citizenship in a large South Yorkshire comprehensive school. The motivation behind this was to place teenagers at the heart of their community. The results of this venture had repercussions which are still being felt in the small mining town of Maltby which lies in the borough of Rotherham, not far from Sheffield. In 2002, the music department at Maltby Comprehensive School in partnership with the South Riding Folk Arts Network set about the task of teaching a group of 13 and 14 years old students the longsword dance. In this undertaking much support and encouragement was given by the national folk organisation, the English Folk Dance & Song Society. A group of students learned the dance whilst others learned to play the tunes to accompany the performance. Financial support from the school’s PTA allowed Head of Art, Liz Davenport, to create the striking costumes worn by the dancers. More support appeared in the form of folk arts development agency Folk South West who generously discounted their ‘College Hornpipe’ tunebook for the project. Players of orchestral instruments suddenly found themselves being extended by the apparently ‘simple’ melodies arranged by Paul Burgess.

  • Systems Music on Spiro's Pole Star
    Systems music on Spiro’s Pole Star Balancing musical experiment and tradition in folk revival Gabriel Harmsen 6630030 Thesis BA Musicology MU3V14004 2019-2020, block 4 Utrecht University Supervisor: dr. Rebekah S. Ahrendt Abstract Theoretical frameworks of folk revival applied by folklorists and (ethno-)musicologists have related revival to identity formation of social groups (divided by class or race), local communities and national “imagined” communities. New theoretical models extend this framework with a transnational, post-revival perspective in which the focus lies on what happens after music traditions are revived. Instead of playing arbiter between “authentic” and imagined/reconstructed music practices, artists and scholars now re-explore creative balances between tradition/innovation, national/international, past/future, and even low/high art. Progressive revival genres have abandoned the concern for “authenticity” by merging traditional and modern musical idioms. Nonetheless, modern folk artists remain connected to an initial revival impulse because they depend on its commercial infrastructure and musical source material. In this thesis I investigate the combination of British traditional music and American minimalism through the post-revival lens. A case study of the album Pole Star by English folk band Spiro demonstrates what compositional techniques of systems music play a role in Spiro’s arrangements, and how they interact with historical melodies. The analysis exposes what musical characteristics of these opposite worlds blend together, coexist or clash with one another. The extended length and lyrical characteristic of historical melodies prove to be crucial factors in determining the crossroad between tradition and modernity in Spiro’s approach. 2 Table of Contents Abstract…………………………………………………………………………………… 2 Introduction……………………………………………………………………………….
