Notation
Note: The tunes below are recorded in what
is called “abc notation.” They
can easily be converted to standard musical notation via highlighting with
your cursor starting at “X:1” through to the end of the abc’s, then
“cutting-and-pasting” the highlighted notation into one of the many abc
conversion programs available, or at concertina.net’s incredibly handy “ABC
Convert-A-Matic” at http://www.concertina.net/tunes_convert.html **Please note that the abc’s in the Fiddler’s
Companion work fine in most abc conversion programs. For example, I use
abc2win and abcNavigator 2 with no problems whatsoever with direct
cut-and-pasting. However, due to an anomaly of the html, pasting the abc’s
into the concertina.net converter results in double-spacing. For concertina.net’s
conversion program to work you must remove the spaces between all the lines
of abc notation after pasting, so that they are single-spaced, with no
intervening blank lines. This being done, the F/C abc’s
will convert to standard notation nicely. Or, get a copy of abcNavigator 2 –
its well worth it. [AK] |

MAN OF WAR. Irish, Hornpipe. From the Goodman manuscripts (vol. 3, pg. 24, c. 1860’s, southeast
MAN ON THE MOON. Canadian, Jig. Composed by
Sarnia, southwestern Ontario, fiddler John(ny) Durocher (1934-1989); one of
several tunes he composed in honor of the c. 60’s-70’s space program. Durocher
was born the youngest of sixteen children, to a modest family of few resources.
He quit school in his young teens to help make family ends meet and remained a
factory worker for most of his life, not even possessing a drivers license.
John came to fiddling when he found a broken fiddle in the trash one day and
asked the owner for permission to retrieve it; with some repair work he had his
first instrument. A few lessons from a local teacher (which served to teach him
how to read and write music), were all the formal music education John
received. He was a prolific composer of fiddle tunes, however, and named them
for sports and current events, family and friends and topics of his day,
explains Ritchie. Durocher’s music was picked up by radio fiddler Don Messer,
who included many of his tunes in his broadcasts and printed collections,
helping Durocher to become quite influential in the Ontario scene for his over
400 compositions. [For more see Ron Ritchie, “John Durocher: A Gifted
Composer,” Fiddler Magazine, vol. 12,
No. 2, Summer 2005, pgs. 25-27].

MANCHESTER. German. Boehme states that the tune is an "old folk dance, and,
since 1868, a modern Salon dance." The tune turned up in southwestern
Pennsulvania where Bayard collected it as a marching tune (1981, No. 295, pg.
251, untitled), and he suspects it has had international currency, perhaps
being brought to the state by German settlers. Boehme, No. 265, pg. 166.

Irish; Hornpipe. D Major. Standard tuning. AABB (Allan's, Craig, Kennedy, Kerr,

notes it should be played as a "Newcastle Style" hornpipe. The tune
was widely popular in the British Isles under a variety of titles and appears
in numerous fiddler’s manuscripts from the 19th century.
Lincolnshire musician Joshua Gibbons included it in his 1823-26 music
manuscript book simply as “Hornpipe No. 101,” set in the key of ‘F’ major (Gibbons
has another tune called “Manchester Hornpipe,” but it is unrelated). Another
version appears as “Yarmouth Hornpipe” in George H. Watson’s (Swanton Abbott,
Norfolk) manuscript of 1850-1880. Source for notated version: the 1823-26 music
