French, Breton and Balfolk tunes

• Samen Op de Traktor : A Naragonia tune, presented here with the kind permission of Naragonia. Naragonia is a Belgian folk duo (fiddle, melodeon bagpipes) which is putting out some of the most interesting balfolk music around. You'll hear an echo of French Musette style in this waltz. This tune is from one of their tunebooks. I encourage anybody who finds this interesting to buy all their tunebooks! You can order them at the Naragonia website shop. You can get recordings of their music, either at the shop, or through Amazon. For a preview, take a look at their Youtube channel, or this video from Hallsway Manor.
• Flatworld: An Andy Cutting favorite, here in Em. And there are no flats in it!
• In a Continental Mood: Another Andy Cutting composition. Flatworld in Am included in the same file, since often played together, but I prefer Flatworld in Em.
• Horizonto, an amazingly energetic piece by Blowzabella piper Paul James. The original was done in a key that fit Paul's pipes, but here I provide it in Em that works on the g row of a melodeon and Am which works on a C row. I think probably most of us would play it in Em, though if there are a lot of people that want to play it on the D row of their D/G boxes I could provide it in Bm as well.
• La Guissinette: A gentle waltz by Vent du Nord.
• Robin's Waltz: A very lively jazzy waltz by Jon Swayne.
• Vals Mal Aimable : Another balfolk waltz, often paired with Robin's Waltz
• Poules Houppeés : A bourrée en deux (though scored in 6/8 time). On a box or with rhythm, this is played with 4 beats on the bass line, not as a waltz. An alternate is to do it as a bourée en trois, as in this version.
• Rue des Pres A favorite of the old French/Breton session. By ear you might be tempted to replace the F# in the second measure with a repeat of the G, but resist! it's part of the mood. I did up the chords myself, but if anybody has any suggestions for alternates, please do let me know.
• La Sansonette
• La Boite de Frissons
• La Laine des Moutons (check out the hilarious joke on French conjugation. Kids love it)
