Catalan tunes
« on: October 14, 2017, 10:33:55 PM »

Looking for just one tune and found 250.  This is a collection of arrangements for two or more grallas (bombardes, more or less), usually with drum accompaniment.  No chords but they should be pretty obvious for the most part.  Each tune is presented as a PDF with score and parts, then midis and MP3s for the whole arrangement and each part separately (it's all been done with Lilypond).  The user interface is a bit strange, you need to click on the "Descarregar" tab and then the left-hand side tabs.  There are many different types of tune and a lot of them are pretty lively.  The arrangements often do more than simple vertical parallelism, so this may not be an ideal source for solo repertoire, but for something like melodeon and clarinet it should work fine.

Really useful, thanks.
Is there a central thread where collections like this can be linked together? I often find something useful here, then forget all about it.

Catalan diatonic accordion site, seems to be based in France though written in Catalan (unusual for French Catalans, I think).

http://www.lamaredelsous.com/poniun.html

It's rather confusingly laid out, you'll have to click and guess.  I think I may have posted about some of the same stuff a couple of years ago when it was on an easier-to-understand site.  That page is scores - the right-side links are sound files.

Big Catalan diatonic accordion festival in a rather spectacular place:

Music for the flabiol (one-handed semi-chromatic whistle, much the like the one depicted in a lot of mediaeval English manuscripts).  I'd forgotten about it though I printed it all off a couple of years back when I got a flabiol.

There are three collections - early music, Catalan dances and Christmas songs.  All single-line melodies.
