We have a new champion! The tune of the month for December is:
The Moon and Seven Stars (also known as just 'Seven Stars')
Luca Celano has thoughtfully put up a tutorial for this tune (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkqNXL3Erqg) including a run through at normal speed, and then breaking it down into bits.
This is a nice simple 32 bar jig with lots of opportunity for harmony/power chords on the B music. It plays very nicely on one row, and is normally played (by me, anyway) in D. You can of course play it in any key/time signature you like!
Good luck to one and all, and looking forward to seeing your efforts!

Been learning this one on fiddle so you may get a duet. ;)

I'm glad it's this one. Voting had me worried for a bit that it wouldn't make it.
First heard it at M&M in March of this year. When they had their first lunch time barn dance

Been trying to get some "Umhp" into my version so will post that later on.
Enjoy this for now. :|glug

What a nice change to see a video from the band's point of view. So many vids of dancing are taken from the other end of the hall, so you can't hear the music!

Hello

I'm interested to see the different cross-rowing used in these two versions; I normally play 7 Stars on a C 1-row, so cross-rowing isn't an issue, but when I do play it on a D/G I play it in D entirely (not surprisingly, I suppose) on the outside row. Horses for courses, I guess..........
-

...
when I do play it on a D/G I play it in D entirely (not surprisingly, I suppose) on the outside row.
I use the G row so I can play a G chord on the second bar, and stay on the G row for the notes before and after for air management or it would all be on push. I play a G chord on the beginning of bar 3 too, and on the last note of bar 4 use the A on the G row so I can keep the A chord going. In fact I suspect I hold an A bass note (no chord) through those last three notes but I'd have to sit down and actually play it to be sure what I do.

an early attempt melodeon & fiddle both multi-tracked
(the moon and) seven stars
http://www.onmvoice.com/play.php?a=35214
The beginning the fiddle plays the melody and I'm attempting chords on melodeon then at the end they swap round.
I'm doing a one row four stop version soon ;)

I absolutely see the logic of the cross-rowing; it's simply that I learned the tune on a 1-row, and just transferred it to a 2-row "as is", without ever feeling the need to re-learn it.

Here's a stab. I haven't particularly worried about the left hand as you will see.

Neat bit of intercutting; personally I much prefer the 1-row version (but then I would, wouldn't I?) :D

OK, I needed to get these out of the way early - it's going to be a busy month- so here we go, my take on Seven Stars. This is a tune I've played for years with GIG CB, and if any tune was ever a candidate for multitracking, this is it! So here we are, Seven Stars, played on a Castagnari Lilly in A/D, 3 times, and multitracked through the magic of Garageband:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48J3pRMPjTE
(Fortunately for you, I've no idea how to mix multiple videos together, so you only get to see one picture of me!)
Because I'm playing an A/D (by the way, this is the Lilly's debut on TOTM, and means that now *all* of my boxes have appeared on TOTM at one time or another), I'm playing this on the inner row, and it comes out in D. Normally, I play this on the outer row of a D/G, but one with unisonorics so the subtleties of having to cross row to get a G chord don't come into it... though here, because I'm on the inside row I can play one row with similar impunity.
As a tribute to GIG CB, there's no subtle build up of 'you come in 2nd/3rd time through' here, it's ... everyone goes for it right from the start, just like when the real band plays it. Although we do get some power chords from the bloke on the left of the stage and odd descant lines from the bloke off to the right of the stage a bit later on, as the whisky starts to take effect. Just like when the real band plays it!
Enjoy,
Clive

Very nice work, folks!! This is a lovely tune. Chas tried to teach me to play it this summer but I never learned it properly. I'll give it a go on my new blonde toy:)
-

Clive;
Fantastic recording.
some beginner questions :)
Are you using the treble buttons for power chords on your backup track.
What chords are you using for this tune ? Do you have a video of you playing the backup tracks; too ?
Can you add the backup tracks while playing your first video (i.e multi video/sound tracks?)
I am going to try this on a club in C. It is a great tune !

Thank you! Yes, the chords are using the treble, and the bass, at the same time. In true GIGCB style, they're really just 'hold down a bunch of buttons and hope' rather than chords - as long as you get the direction of the bellows right, it's good enough! Chords are pretty much the normal 3 chords for D - D, G and A - the only extra being a 'jumping F#m' which I tend to play by default as part of going from D to G (if playing on a D/G, the equivalent would be Bm when going from G to C) - that chord's not that important musically. Sorry, no videos were recorded for the extra parts; I just did sound recordings. While I can splice together multi-track recordings in Garageband, I've no idea how to do the picture-in-picture stuff I've seen others manage when splicing videos together! I need a simple, cheap video program that can do that and also record from webcam... and I'm not aware of any. Perhaps someone else does?
Cheers,
Clive

busy packing for another trip to England
Keep trying to get some Umff into this. I might be getting there.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khgvMyftcPE
Whatever. :|glug
-
Here's my attempt - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpbEWRldUjQ
The second tune I cribbed from Pete Coe's 'Long Company' album (which also features on Baz's 'Hardcore English' compilation album - see 'English Choice Tunebook' under General Discussion) but they just seemed to fit so well together.
-
Some lovely posts already. I'm finding Seven Stars very tricky crossing the octaves on the runs and keeping clarity. I'm trying the one row effect on the D row. Anyone else having problems ? Just think the tune is trickier than it sounds.
I'll have another coffee and try again (:)
-

I'm a little confused making it sound like a one row by crossing over? Isn't that a oxymoron?
-
I also find the tune trickier than it sounds, mostly because of a lot of pushing and pulling where I'd like to find row-crossing to make it smoother. Yesterday I thought of giving it up since I don't even know how to play the chords on jigs, rhythm-wise. Silly me never wrote down that sort of thing during the bass workshop in Witney.

Nooo, I think she means she tried crossing the rows first and found it difficult, and now she's trying one-row style instead because it might be easier.
-
Sorry I'm a numpty :|bl..I meant crossing as in moving (on the same row) from the lower octave into the higher octave. i.e the run in bar 3.
There is no row crossing and never has been for me on this tune....I just wanted to experiment on the D row. No basses to worry about at the moment (:)
I'm not sure I'm being clear here either :|||:
maybe this is just a one row issue 8)
-

I'm with Anahata for playing the second bar on the G row to give a G bass. Somehow this doesn't seem like cross-row playing as a short phrase is played on the inner row, not like alternating rows for a run. I guess it's because the essence of bellows movement on a diatonic is maintained.
Our NW side started learning a dance to this tune last year and I found it a little awkward to play such a pretty and lilting tune in a suitably robust style so as to lead the dancers. I'm not saying it wouldn't have worked in a lighter style, but it's not what they've come to expect from me! I have noticed in our closed sessions (gets the band together) that when I start a tune off gently and with use of bellows dynamics and feeling, I'm immediately drowned out by all those damned recorders. Perhaps they should share the bad press normally reserved for the bodhran - both great instruments in the right hands.
Rob.

Switch fingers between the A on the end of bar 2 and the same A on start of bar 3 and there shouldn't be a problem. You can even slide one finger in place of the other while holding the button down. Or change fingers going from B to A on the same button (between pull and push)

I'm switching fingers on the B to A of the second bar and switching fingers from the C to D on the 3rd bar and the D to C on the 4th bar.
....I think ::)
I'm actually finding it quite a good exercise but not succeeding in clarity yet.
(:)
-
I've been torturing myself with this piece ever since I discovered it quite a few months ago on a wonderful 21 BOuTONS video. It's not getting any better at this point, so I may as well go ahead and take the plunge. The tune was a great choice for me...lots of fun!

I think you sound fantastic!!!!!!! Very steady, smooth..neat sounding box, etc. Lovely playing!!!
-
I am posting my attempt at tune of the month. I have played with two Hohner clubs and a Guerrini GCF.
Not quite as bouncy with these big boxes ;) (:) but still lots of fun. I even tried some picture in picture video.

Here's a first attempt. I hope to record again soon with some variations but need more practice. (thinking too much when playing at the moment.)

It's played on the D row of the Hohner pressed wood. :|||:

That's really nice, Sandy! Lovely tempo and bouncy feel - just right for dancing to, and gorgeous Hohner sound.
I've been trying out my own versions on a 1-row 4 stop, so watch this space. Hope to post something soon.
-
I'll second that. It sounds delightful.
-
Thirded...
And here's mine, also a fairly straight rendition, but as people seem to be putting tunes together in pairs I thought I'd try this one out with the The Spanish Jig from the Winder Manuscripts, a tune which I like but haven't yet slotted into a regular pairing with anything else for sessions or bands.
Here they are: Moon and Seven Stars - Spanish Jig (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXzUq1sKtw0)
-
Well - here goes. Here's my very first tune of the month and first attempt at uploading a vid to youtube. I've spent most of the day grappling with software which I've barely the faintest clue about! Anyway, I seem to have ended up with a video and some sound at least. I play guitar in Tumbling Tom and the tune is in our repertoire but I'd never played it on the melodeon before this month. I unearthed the dots from the Winder manuscript and attempted to play them even though it's slightly different than the way Hugh (Taylor) plays it in the band. I found the video editing and trying to match the sound from a separate track tricky and time consuming so I may just upload a sound file via my Olympus LS 10 PCM recorder to post any more stuff. 'S nearly 11pm now and I've been at it since about 2 o'clock this afto! For anyone interested the visuals were shot using the movie setting on a Panasonic TZ6 Lumix camera. I'd rather concentrate a bit more on my playing and a bit less on the technology. :Ph

Here's my contribution for December: a multitracked fantasia played on my 'EATMT Stowmarket Special' 1-row four-stop melodeon in D. An experiment with different voice combinations, different tempos and a touch of LvB - all in glorious stereophonic sound. (:)

Wonderful recording ! It is surprising how many sounds you can get out of one melodeon. How do you do that ?

Fantastic Steve :) Those low reeds sound absolutely gorgeous when used on their own. And I was waiting for most of the recording for the overlying theme, you managed to suggest it without actually playing it.

Thanks, everyone! I certainly had a lot of fun doing it. (:)
@Anahata: So who's going to contact Fiona Talkington and Verity Sharp - you or me? :|bl
@Ukebert: The low reeds are indeed nice: Binci - I'm very pleased with them. I don't actually use them completely on their own anywhere in the recording though. They are always paired either with the H or M reeds, or else with the whole lot going.
@Mayord: The melodeon has four banks of reeds ('voices') on the RH side which can be switched in or out independently at will, using the stops. They are tuned L, M, M+ and H. If you are not sure what that means, please refer to my Voices and Tunings article (http://forum.melodeon.net/index.php/page,voices_tunings.html) available from the home page of this website.
The recording is built up from six tracks recorded in Apple's Garageband with a single cheap and cheerful Behringer C-2 microphone. Here's roughly what happens:
Track 1: 0':0" - 1':13". Tune on M M+, no basses/chords.
Track 2: 0':39" - 1':47". Tune on L H with bass/chords.
Track 3: 1':13" to end. Tune on L M M+ H with bass/chords.
Track 4: 1':47" to end. Tune on M H, no basses/chords.
Track 5: 1':47" to end. Half-tempo tune in 2/4 time on L M M+, no basses/chords, but RH chords added at 2':25". Tune changes to OtJ at 3'30".
Track 6: 4':05" to end. Additional OtJ on L M voices.
Mixing/processing in Garageband:
Post recording, the tracks were stereophonically spatially separated, had the volume levels adjusted, and a modest amount of reverberation applied. Final mixdown was done in Garageband to standard two-track stereo AIFF, then converted in iTunes to mp3 format for posting on Omnvoice.
Hours of fun! (About 6 actually, from start to finish)
-
Oh, I'm so enjoying this recording of yours, Steve! Fabulous stuff, and so clever with all that contrapuntal stuff at different speeds, and then what happens at the end ... well I won't spoil the surprise for anyone who hasn't listned yet, but I'm still grinning with pleasure. Well done!
-
@Anahata: So who's going to contact Fiona Talkington and Verity Sharp - you or me? :|bl
I don't think Verity is doing LJ any more, which is a shame because she would have been the best bet.
But I have her home email address ;)

Thanks. I was worried my tempo was all over the place. As I started off fine but by third time through my arm wanted to fall off.
-
I think that sounds great! I think this tune is very hard to get flow into, with all those push and pulls that you have to do even with a 2-row box.
-
I love D. Mallinson's tune books because they have simple but great accompanyment. Unfortunately, I cannot find this tune in the books I have. Many of the members in this group are great in working out accompanyment for D/G. Can you share your version? it would be very much appreciated. Thank you,

Here's my contribution. It's a favourite with my band Florida, so I wonder just a little what our 'proper' melodeon player Tim will think.

I really enjoyed this rendition of seven stars. The held note variation starting at 27 sec really adds something to it.
Well played. Was this multi-tracked ?
-
@ukebert It's an interesting box. Softer in tone than the equivalent pokerwork, and nearly as fast.
@mayord21 No double-tracking - I'd declare it. All the notes are in the same direction, and added for punch and variation. Try it!

Lovely playing, Gavin! So gentle and yet so danceable. I like the B-music; not heard that version before. The pressed-wood Hohner sounds delicious.
Hope Julie was indeed making you a cuppa. You deserved one (:)

Isn't that the B music from Trip to Highgate ? Works well, anyway.

How funny! I've completely garbled two tunes I should know really well and had a great time doing it. LOL...
Perhaps I should try again and get it right, then again maybe I should just go quiet for a while ::)

Have another go Gavin, Moon and Seven Stars has such a great B part.

Ahh, Florida. That's who we nicked half our border dance tunes from! Some of the band used to come to our Christmas parties in Hook, Hampshire. I remember one year we cleared all the tables away and danced inside to the saxophone - marvellous.

When I first read that I skipped over the "to" in the final sentence...

We're still around and still playing. We'll be at Warwick Fest this year, for example.
Meanwhile, I'll try to think what I can do with this tune and get it right this time!

I'm feeling a bit delinquent about TotM, not having submitted much to the effort lately. Lots of wonderful inspiration so far!! So today I decided to give this tune a try. I'm playing it on my old, restored Giuseppi Janni & Figli 9+3 organetto in the key of D. I have fitted some neon lights aboard in honor of the holiday season, and just managed to make it thru the tune before the blizzard hit in full force. :Ph I am hoping to have a seasonal tune as well if I can get some free time before winter ends. ;D

Here's my very straight recording of this tune.
I have played it in C on my Hascy G/C (I like the chords better) and I think if I had to play it in D I would rather play it on an A/D Box.
Haven't got one of those :o(

Very nice .. reminds me a bit of the recording of "21 boutons" ... starting from 1:05 on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDHoHha9mvM

Thankyou so much ;D
One of my ambitions in life has just been fulfilled.....to be mentioned in the same breath as 21 boutons ;)

I've had another go!
It's played rather more correctly this time, or at least I hope so. In my earlier attempt I managed to combine the A of Seven Stars with the B of Trip, which goes to show just how flakey a chap can be!
Some of you might be amused by my playing of the first notes of The Trip in octaves in an attempt to recall the bright sound of a hunting horn.

Very nice, Gav. I've just deleted my first comments when I realised that I'd heard the Trip whilst dancing to Florida at GBH - though not as delicately played - I seem to recall triplets on the trumpet?

Thanks Rob2!
I'd call triplets on a trumpet pretty delicate tho'... but Charlie's an undisputed star. It's great to play with him.

Here's a "kurz und schmerzlos" version. I really love this tune but not being a practiced one rower it ties my fingers in knots >:(
From the many video takes this was the only one I managed all the way through without any major fluffs. ::)

My last-minute submission for this month. I found this tune a real challenge, especially keeping time with the left hand and keeping the runs even. You will notice that I've stitched together the A and B music as I couldn't quite manage a whole take that I was happy with, but I hope you'll forgive me. :-\ :|||:
