This is a version of La Sansonette by Dominique Forges. It is different from the gaita version, and from the standard hurdy-gurdy version.
Here it is in G
This is a tune from Playford 1651.
I'm posting both a G and a D version. The D one might make a good 2nd tune for a music set with Nobody's Jig.
And here is a slow-ish video with people, in costume, dancing it:
A nice waltz by Patrick Bouffard.
And of video of some friends playing it:
We got it off a Committee Band CD. The transcription is from the Cambridge French session collection
A waltz that seemed to pursue circa 2007. Ran across it again recently.
The A should be repeated 4 times
Here's an update of my previous post, with the second tune Brian used to play. I still don't know the name for these tunes, and I don't have a recording, so this isn't intended to be definitive. Hopefully it'll jog the memory banks...
-Malaika
A lovely tune to which I was hipped by Mike Smith (English hurdy gurdy player and painter). The score is slightly fuzzy but readable.
