BOOK & CD from Lois & Mel Bay Publications -
Cajun Favorites for Mountain Dulcimer
This instructional tune book is for mountain dulcimer players of advanced beginner skills & up - and other musicians learn the music from its notation, chord letters and companion CD. This book & CD set presents 26 of the best Cajun two-steps, waltzes and songs, with playing technique instructions to make them sound authentic, and features mountain dulcimer tablature arrangements.
Just like the Cajun accordions that are the centerpiece of the music, mountain dulcimers play adiatonic scale, so the music "fits." Dulcimer players who love DAD tuning can practice 24 of the 26 pieces in that tuning, but it shows how to play in the keys most Cajun musicians use.
Titles: La Valse à Abe, Allons à Lafayette, Aux Natchitoches, The Back Door, Bayou Pon Pon, Bayou Teche Two-Step, Bosco Stomp, Chez Seychelles, Deux Cocodries, Enterre-moi Pas, Eunice Two-Step, Grand Mamou, Grand Texas, Indian on a Stump, J'ai Fait l'Amour Chez Nonc Bob, J'ai Passé Devant ta Porte, Jambalaya, J'étais au Bal, Johnny Can't Dance, Jolie Blon, Madame Sosthéne, Mardi Gras Dance, Oberlin Waltz, Pa Janvier, Parlez-nous à Boire
Lois plays all 26 pieces on the CD, making the pieces easier to learn.
