Chris Partington: /* Online Session Tunebooks */

''Category Advisor Chris Partington''

Music is an integral part of singing and dancing and often an accompaniment to other activities like processions and ceremonials.

Singers and Dancers are just as much musicians as people who play instruments.

Folk tunes are very often divorced from their original setting and played for another purpose or just for the joy of it. Thus a song tune can become a dance tune or a concert piece.

Sometimes a good tune inspires the addition of words to make it a song.

All of these things happen.

Here we can pool information about where tunes came from, when, what they were used for, possibly who published them, how they travelled and where they are to be found now.

==Tunes==

Such a small word - such a big subject! This is not the place for storing tunes, those places exist in the external links below, but to give a flavour of the commoner sort here are some examples - [[Tune Index]]

If you feel the need to add tunes read this first [[Policy for tune pages]]

===Online Tunes===

* '''Chris Walshaw's Search Engine on the ABC Notation Homepage''' [http://abcnotation.com/] Search engine. Type in a title and see the tunes pop up, in notation, midi and [[ABC notation]]. Chris Walshaw can claim to be the originator of the ABC notation format as it is understood today. Links to software providers, tutorials etc. This site also has links to many online ABC collections, with a worldwide remit.

* '''John Chamber's ABC Tune Finder''' [http://trillian.mit.edu/~jc/cgi/abc/tunefind] Search engine. This excellent resource trawls the web for tunes in abc format and allows the user to retrieve the results in a variety of ways. You just need to know something about your target tune to narrow the search. He also has a large collection of tunes that he has transcribed into ABC himself, which you will find [http://trillian.mit.edu/~jc/music/abc/ here]

* '''Joe Wass's Folk Tune Finder''' [https://www.folktunefinder.com/] Folk tune finder is a search engine for folk tunes in ABC notation. These search engines use different methods of comparing tunes, so what you can't find in one you may find in another.

* '''The Traditional Tune Archive''' [https://tunearch.org/wiki/TTA] By Andrew Kuntz. A major source of tunes and a place to contribute them is '''The Traditional Tune Archive''' - The Semantic Index of North American, British and Irish traditional instrumental music with annotation, formerly known as The Fiddler's Companion.

* '''Morris Tunes on the Morris Ring website''' [http://www.themorrisring.org/music] ABCs, dots and mp3s of Lionel Bacon's Black Book, plus links to other sites.

* '''An ABC Library of Morris Tunes''' : [https://www.ucolick.org/~sla/morris/music/abclib.html website] Very useful.

===Online Session Tunebooks===

Here are some online collections to give a flavour of the tunes that are current nowadays in various informal English music sessions in Britain and beyond. The descriptions may be taken from the compilers' own websites. These websites come and go so some links may be broken. I have resisted the sometimes strong urge to comment on how up-to-date or not some of the choices seem, since they do largely reflect the current situation.

* '''Paul Hardy's''' [http://www.pghardy.net/concertina/tunebooks/#session session tunebook]. Mainly traditional Celtic and English from the British Isles.

[http://media.wix.com/ugd/d6448b_d71c6b4dba874617bbb6d707a8526177.pdf PDF]. 27 sets of popular tunes, mostly Irish.

===Tune Books since 1900===

There have been many books of tunes printed since the beginning of the 20th Century. Some are out of print but can be obtained second-hand.

* [[Books published since about 1900 containing mainly tunes from the English repertoire]]

* [[Books containing tunes from the Welsh Repertoire]]

===Manuscripts===

Many musicians over the centuries have written down their repertoire in music books and some of the old ones have survived into the 21st century. The oldest one so far identified was written down by [[ATKINSON,Henry MS|Henry Atkinson]] of Morpeth Northumberland and is dated on one page - 1694.

Some good work has been done in transcribing these books and making them available as paper published tunebooks or as [[ABC notation]] collections on the internet.

*[[Tune Manuscripts List]]

*[[Manuscripts by County]]

===Historical Publications===

A most useful list of historical dance-tune books on the web is the [http://www.cdss.org/elibrary/Easmes/Index.htm Early American Secular Music and its European Sources] website. This was researched in the later 20th century and is a very good overview of the field, with a few omissions of books that have come to light more recently, or weren't in the targeted libraries.

Another huge resource based on years of research is the late Bruce Olson's website . Some of the material on the site has become redundant since his death in 2003, yet it remains a valuable tool for serious scholars.
http://www.fresnostate.edu/folklore/Olson/index.html

Tunes and dances are bound together, and when Walsh and Simpson et al published the tunes, the dances often came attached. Mostly, modern musicians raid the tunes and skip over the dances!

Chris Partington: Added more to Bray

Within Britain and Ireland cultural boundaries have never been the same thing as our present 'national' borders. Overlain onto that, or even part of it, have been a series of fashionable enthusiasms for rural pastimes, which sometimes appear more novel, even desirably savage, the further from London they claim (not always justly) as their origin.

This list presently concerns itself with the effect of this on English popular dance music, which even from the earliest times can be seen to reflect reality by including influential music from elsewhere - branles, passepieds etc.

Parallel lists, not identical but equally leaky, could be made for 'Elsewhere'.

For example:-

* [[John Walsh Senior|WALSH]],John; ''The Compleat Country Dancing-Master''; The 1718/9 editions (called here Series1) were "issued in the precise style of the later copies of Playford's ' Dancing Master ' ; the contents in fact were almost identical to, and no doubt intended to intercept the sale of, the original," F.Kidson; Beginning again in 1731, Walsh issued a set of country dance books with 300 dances, two to a page(called here Series2). In the 1740s he started a new series of 204 dances, reusing many of the older plates in new sequences (called here Series3). He advertised the 6-book set in 1754.

Chris Partington: Added Thompson Vol 5 ABC and PDF

Within Britain and Ireland cultural boundaries have never been the same thing as our present 'national' borders. Overlain onto that, or even part of it, have been a series of fashionable enthusiasms for rural pastimes, which sometimes appear more novel, even desirably savage, the further from London they claim (not always justly) as their origin.

This list presently concerns itself with the effect of this on English popular dance music, which even from the earliest times can be seen to reflect reality by including influential music from elsewhere - branles, passepieds etc.

Parallel lists, not identical but equally leaky, could be made for 'Elsewhere'.

For example:-

* [[Books containing tunes from the Welsh Repertoire|Books containing tunes from the Welsh Repertoire]]

* [[Books containing tunes from the Scottish Repertoire|Books containing tunes from the Scottish Repertoire]]

Since I compiled this list some years ago some links may have expired, but since the resource was once available some persistent searching may reveal it again for you. Also there are new resources appearing all the time.

A notable new (to me) website is [https://www.libraryofdance.org/manuals/ The Library Of Dance], which contains links to many early published tune and dance books from all around the world.

Another with a similar remit but focussed more on dances of the English repertoire is [https://www.upadouble.info/listBooks.php Up A Double]

Chris Partington: Link to Library of Dance

Here are some leads for learning some more about traditional dance. It is not always clear, if at all, where the demarcation between 'folk dance' and 'historic dance' lies, and the study of one perforce includes the other.

==Internet Resources==

For a bibliography of the history of social dance have a look at this list on the [http://socialdance.stanford.edu/powers/WebBiblio.htm Stanford University] website.

A long list of historical dance instruction manuals have been digitised by the [http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/dihtml/dicatlg.html Library of Congress]. Includes Arbeau, Weaver, Feuillet, Playford, Wilson et.al.

The LIBRARY OF DANCE website contains a list of vintage dance manuals, some with links [https://www.libraryofdance.org/manuals/]

There is a further list of historical British dance material at this Russian site, [http://www.rondino.spb.ru/cdboooks The St.Petersburg Ball]

Many later dances can be found together with the tunes for those dances, and you will find links to them if you look on the [[List of historical tunebooks, some of which are available on the internet|Tunebooks List]]

A treasure trove website with much of great interest to say about historic dance is the [http://www.pbm.com/~lindahl/dance.html Society for Creative Anachronism]

Much of interest can be found on [http://regencydances.org/about.php Regency Dances] website, including an interesting section of "Papers"

A very interesting little-known English manuscript from the early 17th century containing the instructions for thirty two country dances has been discovered relatively recently.

Chris Partington: Davidson's 250 Welsh Airs

Within Britain and Ireland cultural boundaries have never been the same thing as our present 'national' borders. Overlain onto that, or even part of it, have been a series of fashionable enthusiasms for rural pastimes, which sometimes appear more novel, even desirably savage, the further from London they claim (not always justly) as their origin.

This list presently concerns itself with the effect of this on English popular dance music, which even from the earliest times can be seen to reflect reality by including influential music from elsewhere - branles, passepieds etc.

Parallel lists, not identical but equally leaky, could be made for 'Elsewhere'.

For example:-

Since I compiled this list some years ago some links may have expired, but since the resource was once available some persistent searching may reveal it again for you. Also there are new resources appearing all the time.

A notable new (to me) website is [https://www.libraryofdance.org/manuals/ The Library Of Dance], which contains links to many early published tune and dance books from all around the world.

Another with a similar remit but focussed more on dances of the English repertoire is [https://www.upadouble.info/listBooks.php Up A Double]

Within Britain and Ireland cultural boundaries have never been the same thing as our present 'national' borders. Overlain onto that, or even part of it, have been a series of fashionable enthusiasms for rural pastimes, which sometimes appear more novel, even desirably savage, the further from London they claim (not always justly) as their origin.

This list presently concerns itself with the effect of this on English popular dance music, which even from the earliest times can be seen to reflect reality by including influential music from elsewhere - branles, passepieds etc.

Parallel lists, not identical but equally leaky, could be made for 'Elsewhere'.

For example:-

Since I compiled this list some years ago some links may have expired, but since the resource was once available some persistent searching may reveal it again for you. Also there are new resources appearing all the time.

A notable new (to me) website is [https://www.libraryofdance.org/manuals/ The Library Of Dance], which contains links to many early published tune and dance books from all around the world.

Another with a similar remit but focussed more on dances of the English repertoire is [https://www.upadouble.info/listBooks.php Up A Double]
