Richard Robinson's Tunebook

This is a collection of tunes and lists of tunes. Its main interest is with various traditional forms of northern and western European music - jigs and reels, polka, polska, schottische, bourrée, etc - but is happy to take whatever comes along. The material is available as conventional musical notation and in machine-useable formats (PDF, MIDI, ABC). There are no recordings.

Most of the material here is known to be old enough that it's in the public domain; but it's not safe to assume it all is, many people are making new tunes in these idioms. If you were thinking of making public use of what you find here, or contributing to it, please think about whether there might be any copyright issues.

This site has taken me a lot of work to build, it will disappear unless I keep paying the rent on the server, and it has no funding other than what I put into it. On top of which, I'd prefer to avoid clogging it up with adverts, but the server bills do need to get paid somehow. So, if people were to feel like making a contribution once in a while, it would be very much appreciated ... I thank you. Anything donated here will go towards the upkeep of this site and its author.
