An Index of Clive Williams' Melodeon Videos from YouTube
A mazurka written by Gregory Jolivet of Blowzabella, and learned from their latest album “Two Score”. Fits on melodeon really quite nicely, needing a small accidental note at the end of the B music, but that’s about it.
Melodeon.net’s theme of the month is mazurkas; this video is part of that. Played on a restored 1920’s Hohner in G/C
Comments closedHere’s a version of Scarborough Fair played on a G/C 1920’s Hohner Melodeon only using the standard 2 rows and 8 basses; not the extra 4 basses available on this instrument.
Melodeon.net theme of the month for November 2015, Tunes’s that Lester Bailey *hasn’t* covered in his tune-a-day blog.
Comments closedHere’s a 2nd go at this tune (I had a go at a jig version of this a couple of years ago) – this version is a straight 4/4 version played in D minor on a 1920’s Hohner G/C melodeon. Apart from the first time through where a D chord on the push is needed, this is perfectly playable on any 2 row 8 bass instrument with thirds off.
Melodeon.net tune of the month for November 2015
Comments closedAnother version of this, played as part of Melodeon.net’s tune of the month for November 2014. This time, it’s played on a Hohner 1920’s model in G/C (and played in C). This great mazurka was written by Maxou Heintzen of course.
Comments closedA great tune written and played by Naragonia; a 5/4 waltz commonly played in F; here played in C on a Hohner G/C melodeon.
Comments closedJean Drejac’s 1950’s parisian waltz, immortalised (in the melodeon world anyway) by Tony Hall as ‘Banks of the Seine’. Played on a G/C 1920’s Hohner; part of melodeon.net tune of the month for September 2013.
Comments closedOther than the Guerbigny/Pacher CD I found it on, which simply calls it Swedish Waltz, I don’t know what this tune is called. Does anyone else know?
Played on a 1920’s Hohner in G/C.
Comments closedAn irresistably catchy tune from Poitou France, learned from the playing of Benoit Guerbigny; part of Melodeon.net Theme of the Month for July 2013.
