CVSFC Repertoire Played Slowly
Tunes are listed by sheet number in each category, with keys, tempos and audio.
Click on a Sheet number to access a pdf file of the sheet music.
Keys: m = minor; mix = Mixolydian; dor = Dorian (introduction to these
modalities )
Playing without sheet music is a goal, but not a requirement.
Tunes here are played slowly to assist learning, many at a slow and an intermediate tempo.
Slow airs are excluded since they are already slow.
These tunes are home-recorded by Peter Macfarlane.
They are not studio quality, being mostly single takes and unedited, and are provided purely for use within the CVSFC context.
Thank you for your understanding.
