22 Mar 11 - 08:34 PM (#3119428) Subject: Old Dutch dance tunes and songs From: Jack Campin I've started transcribing bits of this book over the years (since I've got a copy, and not many other people have). But never got very far because of its sheer intimidating hugeness. Now I find someone's made the whole thing available, in scanned and ABC formats: Oude en Nieuwe Hollantse Boerenlieties en Contredansen There are some fantastic tunes in there, from all over north-west Europe around 1700. For songs: http://www.liederenbank.nl/index.php?lan=en Somebody has put an unbelievable amount of work into that. |

I have a feeling that if we bypass the language barrier the English and Flemish musical traditions are more similar than different. |

23 Mar 11 - 06:44 AM (#3119622) Subject: RE: Old Dutch dance tunes From: GUEST,Peter Laban The 'Oude and Nieuwe Hollantse Boeren lieties en Contredansen' were originally published during the first two decades of the 18th century (1700-1716). They are not the only or earleist collection of similar material: in 1644 Jacob van Eyck published the 'Speel-goddinne', 'De Fluyten Lusthof' was published in 146 and a second aprt in 1649. 'De Hollantse Schouburgh' appeared from 1697-1716. the 'Boerenlieties' collection was re- published in fascimile in 1972, editor Marie Veldhuyzen. |

You are right that it offers many good tunes. I have a tune from there called 'Cecelia' that I keep on my piano. It is a sexy little number, hardly sounds like a cecelia to me, but that's part of the charm. I've added the site to my Favorites so it won't get lost again. |
