Music for Chetvorno Horo? Andy Irvine

[Narayan Kersak]

Does anyone know where I might find tab or music to this?

I've dug around the internet considerably and haven't turned anything up. I'm working on it by ear, but there is so much going on, that I want to speed up the process and make sure I get all the right notes.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

Hah! Fantastic. Did you simply google the name? I thought my search skills were better than that!

I used ABC Tune Finder's own search function at the link in my post -- the tunes stored at the site are not indexed by Google. It's a very comprehensive database, and for most traditional tunes you get at least a bare bones melody line.

Hmmm... false hope maybe. I went to the site to see if they had he midi, which they did, and unless the midi is just really weird, I don't think that's the same tune. When I get to an instrument to check sheet music will know better.

Here are another two transcriptions for you to try. From a Google image search. One of them is fairly similar to the one in my earlier post, the other seems to be a different tune.

Looking at this link, it seems that "Chetvorno Horo" may be the name a particular dance rather than a specific tune, in which case identifying the tune that Andy used may be difficult.

Thanks. Will check those out too. Well, I have been figuring it out by ear, which is probably best, but all those little ?trills? and the full ensemble was giving me some static. Power through...

Wow. I did not know that the 'tune finder' is still on the internet. This brings memories of many hours researching tunes back in the 1990's. The ABC Tune Finder is a great resource. And not just for Irish tunes anymore. I just found a klezmer tune that I know. Thanks. I guess I'll be using it again!

Wow. 7/16 . That's just over 11mm, isn't it?

Fantastic tune!
