Hornpipes
The links below provide three formats of the jigs we may explore in class.
Recordings of the tunes were made at a tempo of 100 beats per minute in a time signature of 4|4.
Each tune will begin with FOUR measures of clicks in this order STRONG BEAT - weak beat. The tune will begin on the FIFTH strong beat or on the pick to that beat. To time your start, count four strong beats and begin playing on the next strong beat. OR count three strong beats and play the pick up note(s) to the tune.
All recordings were done on the Irish Tenor Banjo. The click track drops out after the four introductory, count-in measures.
The tunes were played without any ornamentation and without any swing. I played them a close to the metronome as possible. The intent was to convey the melody. All of the tunes need some swing and ornamentation to bring them alive. Visit the SETS link to hear how the tunes are played in performance.
If you download the mp3 you can use one of the many free players to adjust the tempo of the music to fit your needs without changing the pitch of the music.
