Jan Mijne Man\Go Mauve

A couple more schottiche.  The first tune is notated in C.  In the recording they play a couple of iterations in C, then switch to D.

The Willow Runnel

This tune by Ian Luff in some ways reminds me of a nordic tune. The horn parts also sound really cool.

It is referenced as a schottische.

Wooddicock

This is a tune out of Playford. The Pranksters use it for the dance Whirligig, which is also from Playford but has a much less fun tune. It's written here in Dm, but when they play it for the dance, they play it through in Gm, then Am, then Dm. It's especially odd because the transition happens after the A part.

Scottish a Catinaux

We playe this at the Slik Road stage.  For some reason I was either doubling the number of A parts, or of both A & B parts.  Notated here in C, but also played in G depending on what type bagpipe or hurdy-gurdy is playing.

Tumbalalaika

Download Tumbalalaika.abc

Depending on who you ask, this was either written by Henry Lefkowitch or traditional. In any case, this transcription is Forest's, and the chords come from Jessa and Daria.

Daria also gives alternate chords for the B part: Em, Em, D7, D7, D7, C, D, Em.
