An Index of Clive Williams' Melodeon Videos from YouTube
Mark Prescott and I play as a violin/melodeon duo, Vivant. We have 2 CDs – see www.vivantmusic.co.uk
Mark and I used to play this tune many years ago; it’s dropped out of our repertoire more recently, though in hindsight perhaps it shouldn’t have. I recorded the original track last week; Mark sent me his track shortly after, and with a bit of mixing, here we are!
The tune is by Ben Dauncey, a phenomenal melodeon player from south England.
Comments closedMark posted this last week, so this is me playing along too! The tune is Le Boite a Frissons by Jean Blanchard.
Comments closedThis cracking waltz was (I think) written by English box player Ben Dauncey. Other than a video of Ben playing it, long since taken down, I don’t think I’ve heard any other versions of it. It’s a great tune. Played in Am on a G/C Van der Aa box. It was originally written in Am, and Ben used to play it on a 3 row D/G box with an unusual third row, half in A, half in C#.
Comments closedA beautiful traditional English tune. We recorded this on our 2nd CD, ‘Tree of Life’ – see www.vivantmusic.co.uk
This was recorded just before the 2nd UK Covid 19 lockdown in Dec 2020.
Comments closedThis 5 time waltz is another Stephane Delicq tune, which Mark and I are working up at the minute. With the lockdown restarting things are on pause for a bit, but we recorded this a week ago for the Vaults Bar lockdown session a few days before lockdown started again.
I’m playing the Van der Aa Compact III in G/C.
Comments closedPlayed for our good friend Steve.
Comments closedLovely to have Mark across yesterday for what looks like being the last time in a while. This is a waltz version of the trad English tune Molly Oxford.
Comments closedThis mazurka was written by Stephane Delicq, whose music I’m very much into at the moment; learning up quite a few of his tunes. We haven’t recorded this on our CDs (yet) – who knows perhaps one day we will. If you’re interested in seeing what we have recorded visit www.vivantmusic.co.uk
Comments closedAnother set recorded during our infrequent meetups during the covid-19 epidemic. The Swedish Wedding March is ‘Brudsmarsch efter Byss-Kalle’; the Pearlfisher’s Duet is a theme from Bizet.
Recorded on our first CD; see www.vivantmusic.co.uk
Comments closedHere are a couple of Shaker hymn tunes from the US, both traditional. We recorded this on our 2nd CD, Tree of Life – see www.vivantmusic.co.uk
This video was recorded during the covid-19 epidemic 2020.
