I know I'm just talking to myself here - probably past your bedtime. I can hardly find any sheet music for you. Granted, I'm not trying very hard. With so many MP3s at your disposal, I think you're better off without. This is why god gave you ears. Make Her proud.
I'm thinking of putting rainbow bike-handlebar tassels on the end of my bow and having a bit of bling-bling set into my headstock now, I'm so inspired.
Since you probably don't speak whatever that language is any more than I do, I'll clue you in: That's a list of different types of tunes / songs and each one links to a list with Midi files, sheet music, and lyrics (though not necessarily all together). You want to find anything that has an ex under "partitura", and that will take you to painstakingly-transcribed-by-hand scans of Galician sheet music. (At least, I think it's Galician.)
i learnt a cool four part a minor-ish jig the other day that was Galician (so i was told). i'd post it to the tunes section but i'd be violating guidelines. email me if you want and i'll transcribe it. unfortunately i didn't catch the name.
Kerri, you were around for all those arguments on the whole "Irish dance music" thing, weren't you?! The upshot was: when Jeremy wants something taken off or thinks something is off-topic, he'll take it off or let you know and then remove the thing, but while a strict adherence to the guidelines is not truly necessary, it'd be nice if people remembered the guidelines clearly given on the home page and the FAQ page.
I didn't say there was, and people post them all the time. The consensus was that sticking with mainly tunes that are regularly heard in Irish music sessions was good, and that sometimes includes other tunes from other traditions. Surely you were around for all this? Or were you off in Ireland at the time, or in the throes of moving yet again? It was a huge brou-ha-ha.
It's possible I was here but ignored it. (I tend not to seek concencus, and just do whatever I like until somebody tells me to stop). More likely I was soaking my feet in some Pacific tidal pool, poking anemones with a driftwood stick and wondering which colour of seaweed I could eat.
Food for thought: it seems to me as if a large proportion (perhaps even *too* large) of the contributors here (the mouthy ones anyway) are not in Ireland, and it's possible that the tunes played at their sessions are not exclusively Irish (heck, the tunes in *Irish* sessions are not exclusively Irish) so...
If I were to find a totally bitchin' Galician tune and start playing it at a session, and everybody else loved it and learned it, and it became a fixture in the Montreal session scene, and I posted it, would I be a bad, bad girl? What if I was Irish and did the same thing and the session where everyone was playing my little Galician tune happened to be smack in the middle of Bogwater, Co. Galway, would I still be bad?
Well, that was the consensus, Kerri. I didn't say "sessions in Ireland", I said, "Irish music sessions".
So if a tune gets regularly played in your session, you can post it. It doesn't matter if it's from Mars. Although if it's severely copyrighted and you might get Jeremy in trouble for it, that's a big no-no.
You just like to argue. I think I've said that before, haven't I? ;)
You're probably more likely to find "exclusively Irish" sessions the further away you go from Ireland eg San Francisco and the like
Certainly, they were always popular in Scotland(and still are). These days, though, we actually have some "Scottish" sessions here and also plenty of hybrids.
LOL -- that's actually a bit of a sly reference to a discussion Kerri and I had in the early days of The Session, Conán! As I recall, her answer was: "I DO NOT LIKE TO ARGUE! WHAT MAKES YOU SAY THAT?" or some such, so you weren't very far off.
This isn't about just being contradictory. I prefer to agree, to be honest. I was just curious about Rog's Galician tune is all, and wondering if I am supposed to start ignoring requests for Quebecois tunes. :^)
I have very fond memories of sitting in a session in Ennis roaring out Simon and Garfunkel songs, actually, but they *are* copyrighted, so I doubt I'll ever post them here.
Many tunes posted here are copyrighted in some form or other but we don't always know if we've learned our version in a pub somewhere.
There's also newer tunes posted here which have never been published etc yet but the composer might do so in the future. Where do we stand then?
I know. Luckily, most trad players understand the dilemma, I think. However, for instance, if Jay Ungar finds out about his tunes replicated here, I dunno -- he's reputed to be pretty insistant on his copyright, since that's a major part of how he makes his living.
I thnk there's plenty of room for adding Breton, Galician, Asturian, Eastern European tunes as they do get played at certain sessions more often than some of the Irish tunes in the database. That said, I agree that if you want to post a tune from a different tradition, you should at post at least one from the Irish tradition that isn't there already.
http://www.interacesso.pt/web/wencesmc/mtorner1.html
Some asturian tunes in MIDI format. Check if you're interested the following groups, might have some MP3 in their web.
Llan de cubel, Corquieu, Felpeyu, Llangres, La Musgaña (not asturian, but good enough) .
And Kerri, I can tell you thousands of tunes more borings than the fandangu (Irish, scottish, for fiddle, for pipes, there are plenty of boring tunes)
hmm, some reaction to my offhand comment... i've heard it suggested that there should be an approximate ratio of 5 irish-type session tunes to 1 other. since i've posted a grand total of 2 tunes, one of which is scottish, i've got a fair way to go before i deem myself eligible to post another dodgy un-thesession.org tune...
and since i learned the tune in newcastle at the specifically-named "Non-Irish" session, that probably makes it even worse!
this galician (if it actually *is* galician!) tune is only the latest addition to the queue of potential submission candidates (including a few self-penned catastrophes to give joy to michael gill) that are just waiting for all those irish tunes to be transcribed...
i guess what it comes down to is i'm a complete imposter here! i hardly ever play in irish sessions; i mostly play scottish tunes by choice; i just stay around 'cos i enjoy the crack and there's actually a lot in common between different session styles.
(hey, but zina, i've been practising and i can just about squeeze out a reasonable roll every now and again... perhaps that makes things better!? :-])

Well, I don't know from Galician music, but if you're interested in Asturian music, check out the group "Llan de Cubel".

Re: Sites for Galician Music?
http://www.llandecubel.com/Llan%20de%20Cubel-Fandangu.mp3 is quite possibly the most boring tune I've ever heard in my life, but fair play to them for trying.
Here's a bunch more asturian stuff.

Hm. the mp3s on that last site are ridiculously short. Sorry Armand. let me try a little harder.

Galician stuff:
a tune (not played by "real" galicians):

sheet music for the above tune:

A bunch of MP3s of "real" galicians":

A list of Galician links:

I forget what this is:

Another guy with heaps of MP3 downloads on his site:

And no music or MP3s, but by far the funkiest looking Galician piper's website, like, EVER!

I guess you will not find a lot information in english, spanish might be better and of course gallego...
Have a look at
http://www.clip.dia.fi.upm.es/~boris/gaita/
http://www.arrakis.es/~jpresedo/midi.htm
you should google with
partitura (sleeve notes)
gaita (pipes)
muneira (or other types of dances)
Good Luck
