Vermont Fiddle Orchestra

Music for the current season of the VFO

The left column provides links to PDFs of lead sheets (melody & chords).
The middle column similarly provides harmony & bass clef parts.
'Lead' and 'Accompaniment' links sometimes point to the same sheet. (Check before printing.)
The right column plays recordings of the tunes. The upper emphasises melody; the lower emphasises harmony.
The main harmony is on stereo-right; the low harmony is on stereo-left (more easily heard through headphones).
Below the main entries is a list of some of the tunes played more slowly to assist learning.
Tunes from previous seasons are now on the VFO Archive page.

The recordings are very much home recordings and are not studio-quality, so it would be appreciated if they were used only in the VFO context. Thanks for understanding.


December 2024 Concert-length Recordings

These are mainly just fiddle melody, at very approximately the intended tempo (I used a metronome only as an initial guide), purely for practising full length arrangements.
The recordings are quite rough, minimally edited (for your benefit, not to spare my blushes), and will disappear very soon after the concert.
If they sound rather careful, they are! I was trying not to screw up!
