Does anyone know of more songbooks with traditional music that are arranged according to the different modes? Like a section for Dorian, a section for lydian, etc. I am looking for traditional folk and mountain music. Thanks in advance. Banjoman |

I believe the Jean Ritchie Dulcimer book which can also be obtained from the Dulcimer Shoppe lists the modes of the songs. They do not have sections for each mode, as I remember, but you can easily find the various modes in each book. The Dulcimer Shoppe's address is PO Box 1230, Mountain View, AR 72560 and phone is 870-269-4313. I think they have a website as well. |

BTW, Catspaw listed a wonderful link to dulcimer (and other) music books sometime last spring, but I couldn't find the thread or the link. Maybe he'll check in and visit this thread. Mary |

Plenty of printed materials are available, but I'm not aware of any that are sorted strictly by mode. Larkin's is one of the best though, it's the one we recommend and provide for beginners in our local group. The others will have different songs and some additional instruction. |

I don;t have them with me right now, so i can't recall the exact titles. I've certainly used them both a lot, though. Let me know if you want the exact titles. - Sean |
