Playing a Scottish Wedding on Nov 10 in Norfolk. Looking for a Scottish site for sheetmusic. Also need tunes from the session that are Scottish such as Atohl's Highlander. There's an open mike /session every Wednesday in Virginia Beach for those who would like to play or stop in to The White Horse Pub. It starts @ 8:30. There's occasional sessions in the area if anyone would like to be put on the list. Send me your e-mail.
Try searching Richard's Web Tunesearch, the Lester Levy sheet music site, and www.contemplator.com, and other links at
www.myavista.com/acflynn/music.html
Also a very long page of music links at
George Seto's site:
www.geocities.com/george_seto.geo/lyric.htm
Good luck and have fun. I love Scottish music, too.
There have been a number of wedding music discussions on the forum at www.mudcat.org. Lots of good ideas there from other performer's experience.
Sheetmusic for Scottish tunes is available on Valley of the Moon's website (valleyofthemoon.org). VOM is Alasdair Fraser's fiddle school/camp in the Santa Cruz mountains in California. You can arrange to get sheetmusic and tapes from past concerts, too.
Have fun at the wedding and I hope they can hear you over the sounds of celebration!
I think Richard Robinson's Tunebook has been mentioned. It contains allsorts, but enables you to search by country of origin, and there's a good stock of Scottish tunes in there.
There's a collection available (I think) from the abc homepage called 'Aird's Airs', which is predominantly Scottish.
If you are prepared to delve into the more archaic world of printed sources, there is a 4-volume series called 'Ceol na Fidhle - Highland Tunes for the Fiddle', published by Taigh na Teud. You'll find all the more popular Scots and Shetland tunes in here.
The Atholl Collection is an exhaustive collection compiled in the late C19th. It is predominantly reels and strathspeys, with not much in the way of jigs, hornpipes, marches etc.
