A collection of jigs, reels, polkas, hornpipes, waltzes,
slides and slip jigs, written by
Ron Clarke.
Also, a collection of MIDIs (sequenced by Ron Clarke) of Celtic or folk tunes,
written by others.
These tunes have been published in two slim volumes:
Tadpole Tunes - the First Thirty
Tadpole Tunes - the Second Thirty
Follow the links above for these two publications.
To hear what some of the tunes
sound like
In DOS: you can download, FREE, a collection of them
drawn from both publications (and some previously unpublished
tunes), together with a simple player, for DOS, or:
as the MIDIs (see the links
above).
You may also access the other MIDIs (not written by me, but
sequenced by me) by clicking on the
"Celtic/Bluegrass/Reels/Celtic(2)/Celtic(3) MIDIs" page
links.
(You may find more MIDIs sequenced by me on some of the
websites listed on the LINKS page.)
You are free to listen to the tunes, to learn them and to
play them, with my compliments. You may copy any of the MIDI
files to your NON-COMMERCIAL pages if you wish. I would take it
kindly if you would then acknowledge this site. You may wish to
use this image file:
- re-sized to suit your web page.
The only restriction I would insist on is that if any of my
own original (Tadpole) tunes are used in a way that would
normally attract royalties, such as commercial recordings, film
or TV soundtrack, music for computer games, etc., then WE NEED
TO TALK FIRST !
