I am a keen exponent of the ABC(plus) method of music notation. This section of my website tries to showcaces some of its possibilities.
% =========================================================================== % Jack Campin's Nine-Note Tune Book version 55 % =========================================================================== % Tunes with the range CDEFGABcd, maybe with a few sharps or flats. This % was originally meant for the simple non-overblowing clarinet in C sold % for the educational market by several European makers under different % names: the "chalumeau" by SANS in Catalonia; "saxonett" by Jupiter as % sold by Bernard Loffet in France; "clarineau" by Kunath, "chalumeau" by % Tupian and "pocket clarinet" by Hohner, all in Germany; and "chalumeau" % by Hanson in England. Of these, the plastic Hanson is the cheapest, but % Tupian have the widest choice of different types and seem most committed % to the idea. A discontinued British design of a similar instrument was % the aluminium "Highland Hornpipe", which you can still find second-hand. % The Maui Xaphoon is a similar-looking instrument with a saxophone-like % bore: it has a wider range, but poor intonation and inferior tone to the % more clarinet-like instruments. It also takes a lot of breath pressure. % The tunes also work on the Italian-type 10-hole ocarina in C, crumhorns, % simple melodeons, psalteries, tuned-bar percussion, mediaeval bagpipes % and hurdy-gurdies. The Armenian duduk, Turkish mey and Azeri balaban % will also work but may need a few notes adjusted by embouchure changes. % With appropriate transposition, they will also work on any two adjacent % strings of the violin in first position. If anybody teaches the violin % two strings at a time, they might have a use for this. % The tunes use a variety of keys and modes, but rarely need half-holing. % Many of these tunes are transposed from the keys they are most commonly % played in. In some traditions, where tunes are usually played solo or % by unpredictable combinations of instruments, that doesn't matter, but % it matters for instrumental music from the British Isles: if tunes don't % fit the fiddle, flute or melodeon, you won't get other players joining % in. So for these traditions, I've indicated when I've given the tune in % the "right" key; otherwise I'll have transposed it, and you'll need to % warn other players that you're doing something different. % I haven't transposed any Highland pipe tunes, which all have a nine-note % range. These are easy to find in many sources and in Scottish practice % they're always played in the original key (either at concert A or B flat % pitch). % Some tunes here have an eight-note range and can be played in either of % two keys. % In a few places I've shifted notes of the tune up into the 9-note range. % If you see a 2-note "chord", the lower note is the original and the upper % one is mine. % I'm serious about the tempo indications, which are usually the practical % dancing or singing speed for the tune. % As in many songbooks and hymnbooks, I've tried to avoid breaking phrases % across lines. This means a lot of lines begin with an upbeat and end % with an incomplete bar, which instrumentalists may find unusual. % The tunes vary a lot in difficulty. Just because a tune uses a limited % range, that doesn't make it simple. I've tried to include music with the % widest possible variety of mode, rhythm and idiom. % =========================================================================== % == Scottish Gaelic songs
