Printed music sources

[Glenn]

<SIZE size=150>Hello Accordionists,

I would like to start a posting on Internet sources for printed accordion music.

As new links come in I will edit the posting so it will always remain on top.

Nice one, thank you - I've just printed off Indifference and the Muppet Show theme, although I probably won't combine them in a medley...

 

[Glenn]

But I thought you liked a challenge Anyanka?
I also printed off "Indifference". I couldn't resists.

It was so nice to see the squeezeboxcircle mentioned. Its just down the road from where I live. They meet on the first thurs of every month to practise the music chosen for the month, and for a general show and tell.

Hey, hop on a plane, train or bus and join us!!!

[Glenn]

I'd love to Nathen.
Perhaps in my next life I'll get the chance.
It's good to see such an active club and a well maintained website.

 

[grannykins]

These are the ones I have found so far

[Glenn]

Thanks. I'll edit these into the initial post when I get back from my travels and have access to a proper computer.

Therere some Balkan tunes here: http://www.dunav.org.il/balkan_music_scores.html . The ones that dont directly link to a pdf from that page seem to have been transcribed and dont have chords, but the other ones have them. There are also mp3s of many of the tunes elsewhere on the site.

 

[Glenn]

Thanks mjh,
They look devilishly difficult when you gauge from YouTube just how fast and fluid they are meant to be played some of them.

 

[bocsa]

Found this site via a link from Tiogair

http://gmajormusictheory.org/Freebies

 

[Matt Butcher]

Two links to some Italian tunes. This is Southern Italian music, all aimed at organetto players but could be used by any accordionist as it stands or as a basis for learning some typical licks and patterns in a Southern Italian style. The second set of links are linked to some extent to some You Tube teaching videos by Mario Carbone which again are based on the organetto but could be applied to others, perhaps.

There are some simple dots on http://www.organetto.it/pages/spartiti.html

and down the right hand side on http://www.organetto.net/index.php?opti ... &Itemid=66.

 

[JIM D.]

Another site for Traditional Music from around the globe is http://www.traditional-songs.com

 

[Glenn]

Thanks Jim, I'll add it to the list.
