Month: December 2021

2 beautiful tunes from North America for Christmas; an appalachian carol written in 1933 by John Jacob Niles, and a canadian carol written 1642 by Jean de Brebouf.

Melodeon.net theme of the month tune for December 2021.

Played on a Van der Aa Compact III in G/C.

Melodeon.net’s tune of the month for December 2021 is once again Flatworld, the lovely waltz by Andy Cutting. Great tune, but it’s been tune of the month before in 2015, and I’m not sure I play it any different these days! So, here’s a reworking of it, slowed down as a mazurka. Playing more along with the chord sequence rather than being 100% faithful to the tune itself, though hopefully you can still hear something of the original in there.
