O’Neill’s 1001

 

The numbers are the tune numbers, not the page numbers.

The noises are mp3 files (all under 1Mb) of me playing the fiddle.

The notes are links to sheet music, where available, and if I can be bothered finding it.

 

The recordings are all going to be first takes. I’ll stick to the notes pretty much as written – I know that’s missing the point of this music, but it’s also part of the purpose of doing this. Doing this has already given me some ideas for my own variations. I’m a very lazy person, so I’m not going to spend long on each tune, and a lot of the time I’ll probably just sightread straight into the mic. I just want to get a flavour of lots of tunes, maybe learn the names of some of them for once in my life. I suppose this is kind of an audio diary of that process.

 

22 down, 979 to go.
