Attachment 92641Attachment 92642Looking for something to play at Halloween? I have written several tunes that are good for Halloween contra dances. Attached are a few in a little booklet. My band Jalapeño Honey plays these on accordion, fiddle, flute, C-clarinet, and guitar, but they work on mandolin, too. The waltz will come out in a book soon (Evelyn’s Waltz Book for Contra Dance Band) and someday the others will come out in a jig book and a reel book. There are two versions attached so that you can find a part in the desired range for your instrument:
Treble trio (melody, high descant, and harmony)
Mixed trio (treble clef melody, descant down one octave but in treble clef, harmony in bass clef)
The tune titles are:
Armadillo Dance reel
Goblins at Midnight jig
Jack Point reel
Jester’s Tale reel
March of the Gnomes jig
Masquerade waltz
Night Crawlers jig
Three Trolls jig
I hope you enjoy them.
