New Hampshire Country Dance Fiddle Tunes Website

Fiddle Tunes in abc & Standard Notation

The Jigs Page

The Jigs Page contains the abc code for all the jigs. The abc code makes for a long page. See below for some hints and tools for effective usage.

Using the abc Pages

The Download Page has some ideas for how best to use this and other download pages. If you haven't already looked at, you might find it helpful.

  • Click Here For Help. Click opens a box with a good discussion of finding, copying and using tunes in abc format..

The Header Page contains abc formatting code that, if pasted at the beginning of any abc document, will set font sizes and other useful details of appearance.

Help Topics include:

  • Using abc notation and where to get additional help.
  • Copying Tunes for personal use: what to copy and how to use it.
  • Using the Menus at the top of the page to find tunes on this page and in this section, and to navigate the website.
  • Learn about the Tune Index and the Tune Categories, and learning to Play the Tunes.

Useful Links:

Getting the Most out of the Page

  • To close: Just click outside the box.

Website tunes are in abc format. This is a text-based method of writing out music that can be converted to standard notation and played back by an abc reader. To learn more about it or to answer questions about it go to the Introduction to abc Notation. There is some discussion of more advanced topics there as well.

If you have a reasonably clear idea of what to do with the contents of the page, here are some hints for making best use of the page.

Copying Tunes for Personal Use
  • If you copy material from this website, please include the supporting material and copyright notes as well.
  • You can easily copy tunes from this page and paste them into an abc reader. To download entire categories of tunes (e.g. reels, jigs), go to the Downloads Page .
  • The Header Page has the formatting commands that set the appearance of the tunes and in a few cases are needed for the abc code to work correctly.
Page & Site Navigation

The menu system is different in this part of the website. There are three menus at the top of the page. To dismiss a menu move the pointer away.

  • Find a Tune Quickly. Use the menu named for the tune category on the page (e.g. The Reels). Choose a tune from the menu and you'll be taken right to that tune.
  • Use the Tune Pages menu to navigate between abc tune pages.
  • Use the Website Menu to go elsewhere in the website.
Learn About the Tunes
  • Explore the Tune Collection. Go to the searchable Tune Index page for a listing all the tunes as well as links to take you right to them.
  • About the Tune Categories. Learn about the different types of tunes on the website at About The Tunes .
  • Listen to the Tunes. The Playable Tunes section has playable versions of all the tunes on the website.


The Jigs

Here is the collection of jigs. Note that when titles begin with generic words like "A", "The", "Reel de", etc., they may be alphabetized under the second or third word. To find a specific tune you may find it useful to consult the Tune Index page (link above). Tune listing links take you to the tune's location on the page.

H:what may have been an older tuning standard. I believe it is nominally a C

H:$4|1 E A | E E :]2 E E | A A |]$0
H:
H:This tune is clearly related to A Starry Night For A Ramble, as played by the
H:Canterbury Country Dance Orchestra. But despite being melodically very similar
H:they are stylistically so different that it's easy to miss the similarity.
