Mouret's Rondeau

[pelone]

I am interested in discovering and then learning the TAB for the music that is normally associated with the into to Masterpiece Theater. It is the Rondeau by Mouret. It is a catchy tune that I have been able to pick up a bit by ear but would like to be able to nail it down. Any members out there that can help me.

I think that it would make a nice jig.

I can give you the notation for it but Tab is beyond me...

Here's the ABC. Best I can do. BTW, probably make a better shot at a reel than a jig...

Love the tune. I've got the first two parts down cold, but the third part as eluded me for years. (I've been quite happy about the first to parts so I haven't really tried to get the third.)

The title of the piece is Premier Suite des Symphonies: Rondeau. Allen Richmond and the Dayton Mandolin Orchestra do a very nice version on Creole Belles, or you can find the old Masterpiece Theatre version on a release called Cinema Classics 3.
