Subject: RE: Crane Driver & SussexCarole - Wedding 8 April
Okay - Carole gave us a buch of music which essentially contains suggestions for tunes which are likely to be played during the weekend. Some of them are fairly common session tunes, but others are ones which I don't know. Although I can sit down and work them out - I can read music, but do not often have a need to, so I don't do it "up to speed", it is still easier to listen to the tune. I tracked down a bunch of the tunes - in ABC format - which can be converted to MIDI using http://www.concertina.net/tunes_convert.html - CONVERT-A-MATIC.
A lot of the tunes are found in a booklet produced by the Lewes Arms Folk Club - Downloadable as ABC and Noteworthy Composer formats from HERE. I have listed the tunes from the Weding List found in each "Volume":-
Lewes Favourites Volume 1 The Cotillion (Bosham Band, circa 1800) Scan Tester's No.2 Scan Tester's No.1 Flowers of Edinburgh Soldier's Joy
Lewes Favourites Volume 2 Brighton Camp Cochin China Jack Come Kiss Me Now Michael Turner's Waltz (Mozart) Enrico The Sloe The Weaver's March (published James Aird, 1782) The Man in the Moon (Scan Tester) The Tank
Lewes Favourites Volume 3 The Oyster Girl Speed the Plough Welch's Four Part Polka (Sussex Tune Book) Davy Davy Knick-Knack
Lewes Favourites Volume 5 Maggie in the Wood Dashing White Sergeant Michael Turner's Jig Old Rosin the Beau The New Rigged Ship
Lewes Favourites Volume 6 Laura Monck's March (Belle Isle) The New Moon Scan Tester's Schottische No.2 Jimmy (Jamie) Allen Marmalade Polka My Love She's but a Lassie Yet Off She Goes Tip Top Polka King of the Cannibal Islands Moll of the Wood (The saucy little bird on) Nelly's Hat (Scan Tester) The Rose Tree
Well - That should give a start...... Quack! Geoff.
