Terre d'Auvergne - Traditional Music from Central France
Terre d'Auvergne - Traditional Music from Central France is a tune book with companion
music CD. Produced and published by my friend Mitch Gordon, it features sheet music and recordings of 40 traditional
French tunes in both G/C and D/G tunings that have been favorites with West Coast (U.S.) musicians for years. The sheet
music of each tune selection consists of melody notation along with accompanying chords, as well as notes on the tune type
and origin. The companion CD recording contains a correct tempo version of each tune and is useful for hearing what tune
should sound like and for playing along.
As a long time player/teacher of French cornemuse (bagpipe) and button accordion music, I highly recommend this booklet/CD
to all those who wish to aquire a bit of the vast Central French traditional music repertoire. Players of 2 and 2-1/2
row G/C, and 3 row G/C/F diatonic (button) accordions will find it especially useful.
