John Kirkpatrick - English Choice

John Kirkpatrick presents 101 tunes that are tailor-made for the strong rhythmic approach inspired by English dance steps and rhythms. With melody, chords and variations, the book is ideally suited for any instrument, but one of the prime factors in the selection of the tunes has been the fact that they sit so happily on the push-pull squeeze-box scale.

John has opted for tunes which are not readily known as session standards by researching published and manuscript tunebooks of English musicians from the 17th - 19th centuries.

Two CDs containing all the tunes in the book are available:

Garrick's Delight CD

Orlando's Return CD

The tunes in the book and on the CDs are listed with the CDs.
