Well, knowing next to nothing about Flemish music, that has come as a pleasant surprise (boombal tunes as it has mp3 files, I'm still working on getting all the others). Thank you for the links. Enjoy your well-earned coffee.

Suitable music for HG's: www.travak.nl <http://www.travak.nl/> : They (Nikolai and Will) made a very fine tunebook in PDF http://members.home.nl/simonplantinga/hbc/ : contains the entire "Hollantse boerenlieties", music first published between 1700 and 1716 in the Low Counties. It' big and it's complete. PDF format www.boombaltunes.be <http://www.boombaltunes.be/> : tunes used in the Flemish folkdance circuit This is almost enough for a lifetime of playing. People who really want to get into Flemish songs should download the entire " Het Oude Nederlandsche Lied" by Florimond Van Duyse (1843-1910): one of the most complete collections of Flemish folksongs available. Available at the Digitale Bibliotheek der Nederlandse Letteren at http://www.dbnl.org/auteurs/auteur.php?id=duys001 I did my bit for Flemish music, time for a coffee, Pieter ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Derek Lofthouse Sent: 27 May 07 14:47 To: [email protected] Subject: [SPAM:med] [HG] music A couple of weeks ago, I think it was Seth and a few others were looking for sources of music for G/C tuning. I notice Dave Holland has just updated the music at the Cambridge French dance club site http://www.cambridgefolk.org.uk/cam-french/ scroll down to 'the music', you can download in PDF, 35 pages, or in abc. not all the tunes are in suitable keys for the g/c instrument but there is a bunch of them. there are some you may want to transpose, for example bourre d'aurore sand and La sansonnette could quite easily come up to g from d. this is a great resource, he updates it 2 to 3 times a year. hope you find a few you like derek ************************************************************************ ********* Your E-mail has been scanned against Potential Virus and Spyware/Grayware dangers by the MOD BE SECURITY SYSTEMS.
