Hunting Hawk Posted February 16, 2004 Posted February 16, 2004 Does anyone know where I can find sheet music fer my concertina. I'd like some sea shanties or pirate songs, but can't find em anywhere. I think, therefor I am. Or maybe I just think I am.
Desert Pyrate Posted February 16, 2004 Posted February 16, 2004 I don't know what key yer squeeze-box be in, but the NQG pirate songbook has a melody line. Would probably sound mighty fine.
Hunting Hawk Posted February 16, 2004 Author Posted February 16, 2004 Thank ye Desert Pyrate, I'll have a look-see. :) I think, therefor I am. Or maybe I just think I am.
Isabella Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 Not sure if they have pirate chanties. Concertinamusic.com If you can transpose music from one key into another, you could play regular music from regular books remember your standard sharps and flats for what would be your Concert C scale. So like when I played French Horn our concert C Scale has one B flat in it. So it was F G A Bflat C D E F. That was how we were tuned for playing with a group. I'm not familiar with concertina, but if it's like tuned similar to a piano with basic all available keys and tones, then you should be able to pick up any music and play it, ignoring the cords for piano, etc, enless they are used. Cool section on time line of them. :) If you need music transposed I can give it a try. I downloaded a free software last year that actually would record the notes as you played or sang. If you are good at your ear, you could play and figure the right sound of the songs, and then play it to the computer, and print out the sheet music. :)
Katie Nameless Posted April 15, 2004 Posted April 15, 2004 Ye can find selected sheet music here. If yer lookin' fer a title, Crooked Jack's always a favorite. :) Everyone knows it, it's not tha' difficult an' it's quite a nice tune if ye ask me. One thing more, Commander of the Concertina, if ye get MIDI files and put 'em in the Cakewalk music program (please don' say ye have a Mac....) yez can get sheet music, key it up, down, change incorrect notes, 's wonderful. By the by, ye can get masses of MIDIs for 3 an' 4 parts at this location. Essential fer the modern pirate of today. O' course, the pyratical thing to do would be just BORROW someone elses disc....without permission. Dick and Lessie better love me for all this potential traffic....
