Tune Dossier cover

This book is out of print (sorry!). Contact us if you're looking for a specific tune from this book.

We published this, our first book of our original tunes, in the year 2000. It contains all of the original dance tunes from Contra-intelligence, Volga Notions and Contra and Blue, and many more reels, jigs, waltzes and other couple dances -- all written by Dave, Claude, or Julie. Some have been recorded subsequently by us on In from the Cold and The Red Light of Evening.

You may order the book by mail; see our recordings and books page for details.

The Inevitable List of Errata

Errors in all printings

  • In Ya Tenes Treinta Años, there is an extraneous repeat sign midway through the B section.
  • In Morning Fog, Afternoon Sun, the first note in the 5th measure of the B section should be a B natural.
  • In Trip to Sofia, the last measure of the B section should have an A chord. The last note, an A, should be an octave higher.
  • In Craggy Dome, there should be no repeat sign at the beginning of the B part.
  • In The Clock Stopped, the last measure should have a half note, not a dotted half note, since if you go back to the beginning there is a quarter note pickup.
  • In The Louise Polka, the C in the fourth measure of the G part should be a C natural.

Errors in the first printing

  • In The Merry Waltz, the D# in the last measure of the B part (the pickup to the E above high C in the C part) is an octave too low.
  • In The Boathouse, the E sharps in measures 1 and 5 of the A part should both be E naturals.
  • All but the initial chord for The Excellent Initial Structure are missing. They should go something like this:
A part |: Gm - | F - | Bb - | F Dm | Gm - | F - | Bb F | Dm Gm :|
B part |: Gm - | Eb F | Cm Gm | Cm Bb | Dm - | Bb F | Gm F | Dm Gm :|
  • The Midnight Couchette was not recorded on Volga Notions. Bag o'Tricks recorded it on their CD.
  • In the notes for Hambo fran Krone Kulle, literal is spelled "lteral."
