An Index of Clive Williams' Melodeon Videos from YouTube
A rearrangement of the Largo section from Winter in Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. Not largo anymore; it comes out as a cracking irregular, very irregular, polka here played in G and C – it switches key in the middle.
Played on a Van der Aa melodeon in G/C; part of melodeon.net’s Theme of the Month for June 2016 – Seasons

An unusual pairing of tunes for Melodeon.net’s strange tune pairs theme of the month. The first is the tune known as Abbots Bromley Horn Dance tune, though it isn’t actually used as such by the Abbots Bromley Horn Dancers – they use any tune *but* that one! Other dance sides doing the horn dance use it a lot. The second comes from the English Acoustic Collective and their Morris Offspring collaboration; a tune played with John Dipper’s Dapple and Dobbin (recorded earlier on this channel!) – it’s by Robert Harbron, and called ‘Kindling’. Great tune Rob!
Played on a Castagnari Giasco I in D/G.
Comments closedA mazurka’d implementation of this traditional English waltz, commonly played as a bourree in the style of Tim Van Eyken’s version. I think it makes a nicer mazurka 🙂
Played on a D/G Castagnari Giasco; Melodeon.net tune of the month for July 2014.
Comments closed2 jigs recorded for Melodeon.net’s theme of the month for June 2014, Jigs. The first tune is a traditional Shaker tune; the second written by me. Both tunes are in G and played on a D/G converted Hohner Lucia
Comments closedMelodeon.net tune of the month June 2014! A simple tune, played in G on a converted Hohner Lucia in D/G. Traditional English.
Comments closed2 tunes played as part of Melodeon.net’s theme of the month ‘Tunes collected by Cecil Sharp’. Not so much collected by Cecil Sharp these – they’re both well known Playford tunes – but part of his Country Dance volume, section 4, so fair game I think.
Played on a Hohner Preciosa in Bb/Eb (so these tunes are in C minor)
Comments closedPart of melodeon.net’s Theme of the Month for September 2013, ‘Bob Cann Tunes’. A cracking 48 bar polka, here played on an A/D Castagnari Lilly in D.
