“ Rose Tree” is a traditional Irish reel, recorded here considerably slower than it is usually preformed. It is often played for contra dances and is performed considerably faster than I have recorded it here. “ Westfork Girls” is an easy old-time reel in D major. It is also easy to print the sheet music if you so desire. I find it most helpful to minimize the audio player and to follow/play along while looking at the sheet music on the screen.
#Think of me sheet music for flute pdf
The sheet music files are in pdf format and will require an Adobe Acrobat Reader to view. So I don’t think of the tunes in the tunebook as performance pieces, but as learning pieces in slow tempo for the beginner to learn the tunes and to play along with the music. This freed me from having to be so precise with my playing, and with recording in midi step time I had the freedom to record at my leisure, print sheet music, and alter the tempo of the piece after it had been recorded. Originally I had planned to play each tune on the Irish flute, but I opted, instead, to record the melody of the tune in step time with a midi piano voice and do the accompaniment with guitar in real time. I tried to choose a fairly even sampling of reels, hornpipes, jigs, and waltzes and airs. I think that they are all quite suitable for the Irish or simple-system flute, whistle, or other melody instrument. Not all of them are Irish tunes, but they are all tunes that I have played in a contra dance band (playing second fiddle and guitar) and tunes that I like.
I have selected 20 tunes for this tunebook.
