| 'Cimbalom' Hungarian Folk |
http://www.cimbalom.nl/ |
International Folk |
In The Netherlands more amateur musicians
are playing folk and Gipsy music of East
European Countries than in any other West
European Country. Many years ago I started
my home page Cimbalom as a Dutch platform
for these musicians and their colleagues in
other countries.
During recent years I have collected a
large number of Hungarian melodies from
various sources and described these as a
single voice MIDI file. The purpose of this
collection of over 5000 melodies (MIDI's),
in majority of (Urban) Hungarian Folk
music, or in fact in majority Magyar Nóta,
but including some 1700 Népdalok, is to
promote these melodies among devotees, and
to contribute to the preservation of this
type of Folk music. To support the
recognition of these simple melodies, in
most cases a "Demo" of that melody is added
in the form of a short Mp3 file.
