An old English tune which is the melodeon.net tune of the month for April 2016. Played in Eb on a Hohner Preciosa 12 bass in Bb/Eb.
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 closedHere we have 2 Playford tunes (i.e. tunes from 17th century England, collected and published by John Playford), Kettle Drum and Glory of the West. I learned these off the playing of Chris Wood, and a fantastic twin fiddle version of these can be found on his album with JF Vrod, Crossing.
Played on a Streb electronic melodeon with unisonoric basses tuned to A/D (I think) – the tune itself comes out in Em.
Part of melodeon.net’s Theme of the Month for February 2011, Playford Tunes.
