I'd like to work out a version of "Air Pour Faire Pleurer la Mariee/Gavottes" by Nicolas Quemener of Kornog (and possibly a few more tunes in a band setting). I'm really fascinated by Breton tunes, but I don't really know anything about them.
Does anyone know what tuning Nicolas may be using on this tune if any, and if there are any transcriptions floating around of some of the arrangements on the Korong recording? These aren't exactly session tunes per se, but a few gavottes now and then may spice things up. Thanks in advance.
