For some time now I've had people asking about sheet music for the tunes that I've written or some sort of tune book. So what I've decided to do for the present to make some music available here. You will need a small program called scorch which you can download for free from: http://www.sibelius.com. This program will not only allow to view the music as I've written it out but also will play it back for you to listen to. You can adjust the tempo by moving the slider bar at the top of the page, you can even print out the music or transpose it to a different key if you want to.

I've had a few email's asking me to put the guitar chords for the tunes in the music. I've been resisting this mostly because my philosophy is that is one of the ways that you make the music your own. Whenever I've taught at festivals I've always encouraged people to take the basic melody and play with it.... perhaps you'll play it faster or slower, with more ornamentation, or jazz it up with a fancy chord structure. Part of the fun for me as a composer is hearing how others interpet my music. So if you think you've done something interesting please, let me know or send it along.... maybe we'll start another page with other people's recordings of my tunes. The most important thing here is to have fun!

The Elora Gorge 

The Wilderness Lament

French River Flight

Conestogo Waltz

Sandy's Fancy

The Misty Morning Waltz

The Redheaded Girl  (Between Two Worlds)

St. Jacob's Ramble
I usually play this tune as a medley followed by The Road to Listowel which is played in straight reel time or sometimes with Sandy's fancy if I want to keep that hornpipe rhythm going.

The Road to Listowel

Jivewalk
this was recorded 1st on Step Out of Time as Jivewalk, recorded later on New Celtic Moon as Dance of the Sidhoeg

Morning Chimes
a nice Christmasy type tune.

Pete's Prance
a new tune to celebrate the little sheltie pup that we got recently.

The Fordwich Jig
I first wrote and recorded this tune for the Dulcimer Traditions cd

Carolyn's Prance
Recently I've been getting together to play with a banjo player and a mandolin player.... what a great mix!! The mandolin player (Wesley Bates) wrote this great little tune that I'm enjoying and he's given me permission to share it around. I've taken one liberty (sorry Wes!) and changed the ending. Wesley ends the tune at the bridge and tags a little bluesy vamp on... I prefer to go back to the A part to end the piece. I'm sure that Wesley won't mind whatever you decide to do with it.
If you play this let Wesley know that you appreciate his willingness to share this wonderful tune with all of us dulcimer players. You can reach him at: <graver@wightman.ca>

Trip to the Moon
written for a film short, played on synth guitar. Performed with the VOC film Harmonic.
