New Hampshire Country Dance Fiddle Tunes Website

Fiddle Tunes in abc & Standard Notation

Scandinavian Tunes

This page contains the abc code for Scandinavian fiddle tunes as well as a few tunes that didn't fit into any category. 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.


Scandinavian Tunes and a Few Other Tunes

Here is the collection of Scandinavian tunes, along with a few tunes that don't fit into any other category on this website. 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:Here I tried to keep the spirit of the tune while combining many of the most enjoyable

Schottis från Idre (D)

X:3343530
T:Schottis från Idre (D)
H:This is a fairly popular tune among Swedish musicians, not to be confused with
H:another popular schottis from Idre in Dm. Note the contrast in the B part
H:between the major and minor portions. I understand that some musicians
H:reverse them, playing the first two measures of each line in minor and the next two
H:in minor. The two Dm chords in the upper row are alternative chords. When listening
H:to recordings I noticed that some people start the B part with a Dm. Although
H:the end of the B part is usually shown as resolving to a D major, I think it sounds
H:right with a Dm as well.

H:So how did Frankie Rodgers come to write a kolomejka? In 2002 Albert Brien had a
H:concert/workshop in the Fiddler's Loft in Kingston, NH with British Colombia fiddler
H:Yvonne Hernandez. She played the tune and taught it during the workshop. I asked her
H:that question. Her mother, who was in the audience called out that despite his name,
H:Frankie was of Ukrainian background.

H:This is a great recording from his radio show. In the third part
H:the "+" represents a pluck. It used to be common to alternate
H:with tapping ("x") the four corners of the fiddle with the bow. These days
H:the tap is often replaced with a rhythmic chord on the A and E strings.
H:The last time through he played a long string of taps. This likely involved
H:going around the four corners of the fiddle and possibly going across the
H:diagonals. This was often done in the middle of the tune as well as the end.

H:These days the range of variations played is much greater. Pascal Gemme, one of the
H:leading fiddlers of Québec, played a set of variations at Maine Fiddle Camp in 2018
H:that included doubling of notes, ghost notes, double shuffles and more.
%
H:There are a few other transcriptions of this tune, all of which are
H:fairly different in many places. They  may have used a different recording
H:of the tune. I used a recording of La Famille Soucy with Fernando Soucy fiddling).
H:Because of the calling and low volume of the fiddle in the mix it was very difficult
H:to figure out the melody in places.
