International Jam Tune List

The following is a list of titles of tunes on the International Jam Tune List with their nationality or culture of origin (and a few others as well). If there is a note (♪) in a column, you can click on it to download a file: printable music in concert pitch, or for B-Flat instruments such as clarinet, or in midi format.

Printable music is in PDF format; to view and print it, you will need Adobe Reader, downloadable for free at http://www.adobe.com

A note in the "Midi" column indicates that you can download a midi version to listen to. We haven't lavished attention on the midi files, but they are good enough to give you an idea of how the music sounds.

The "Lyrics" column simply indicates tunes for which  we have lyrics available at the jams, for those who wish to sing.

The "New or revised" column may contain a date; this is either the date the file was added, or the date that a revised version was posted. Most revisions will be briefly documented under "Notes and Changes" at the bottom of this page.

An red asterisk (*) means "See note on this under 'Notes and Changes.'

If you wish to have a great practice tool for listening to midi files while playing along, go to www.vanbasco.com and download the free Van Basco Karaoke player. Depending on how a midi file is created, you can turn on or off various instrument or harmony lines, and you can adjust the tempo up or down easily without changing the pitch, among many other features.

Files are provided for educational purposes only, for the use of musicians who wish to attend the jam, and are not for duplication and distribution for any other purpose.

Notes and Changes:

08/06/08    Added An Dro Medley introduced at June jam. If you have your own copy, replace it with this one because
                   I corrected a couple of chords. I also put up a second version here with a harmony line; the midi file is from that one.
07/29/08    Replaced Tino Mori with a version with lyrics (C and Bb).
04/09/08    Replaced Der Heyser Bulgar with corrected version (added fine, made some cosmetic changes,
                  fixed second page margins for loose leaf binding. Added midi file.
04/04/08    Added fermata to last note of Hambo efter Ivam Damgård
04/03/08    Added Singing Hambo: Concert, BFlat, Midi.
03/27/08    Added Gas Nign and A Maggot for Mr. Purcell.
03/23/08    Replaced Lerikos with one page version: Concert, B Flat, and Concert with chords for
                  guitar capo at 3rd fret.
08/22/07    Corrected placement of the asterisk over the 3rd quarter of meas.1 in the Bb version only.
08/19/07    Replaced Što Mi e Milo with chord corrections.
05/27/07    Replaced Doudlebska with new versions, with midi
04/17/07    Added missing chord to measure 10 of Tino Mori.
03/05/07    Added midi version of Jove Male Mome.
                  Added Bessarabian Horra No. 14 (Kammen) plus midi file.
                  Corrected Kopačka; the Am chord in measures 8 and 10 belong over the second quarter note,
                   not the third.
03/04/07    Thanks to Carl Baron for bringing this nice Klezmer waltz to the jam. His version was on a single
                  page; I made a close duplication of it to put up here, but I also put up a two page version for those
                  whose eyes work better with slightly larger type. Take your pick. The midi file is, of course, the
                  same on both lines.
02/24/07    Third staff of Eisenkeilnest hadn't been transposed in the Bb version. Fixed it. Thanks again to
                  Carl Baron's eagle eye.
12/29/06    Replaced one-staff versions of Sheebeg Sheemore with a two-staff version and a midi file.
12/09/06    Replaced the two-staff version of Eisenkeilnest with Sue's 3-staff version and added a midi file.
12/03/06    Added missing rehearsal letters to the C version of Tino Mori. Replaced midi file with one that
                  follows the order of the music, with repeats and the fine working correctly.
12/02/06    Replaced Rustemul with C and Bb versions with a bass clef. Also corrects the ending to  provide
                  a coda measure. Added a nearly correct midi file.
11/25/06    Added revised Sadi Moma and Tino Mori (C, Bb and midi versions)
11/22/06    Replaced Bayrischer Bauer with version that has chords above top staff; previous
                  version had them between staves.
10/15/06    Added Hambo efter Ivam Damgård: concert, Bb, and midi
06/24/06    Added Biserka with chords for guitar capo at 3rd fret.
04/23/06    Put back new and corrected versions of Mpambano; thanks to Louis Friedler for help with it.
03/26/06    (1) Added Izvorno version or Crnogorka (for native Balkan instruments such as tambura, gaida, etc.)
                  Corrected midi version which had been based on an incorrectly keyed previous version.
                  (2) Added Narodno Oro in concert, Bb and izvorno pitches and a basic midi file
03/24/06    Added ver. B of Jovane Jovanke in response to the suggestion
                  (thanks, Carl Baron) that a version with the harmony lines separated onto
                   their own staves would be useful.
02/26/06    Swapped in slightly revised Fatiše Kolo and added midi file.
02/21/06    Oops! Added the missing chords to Joc Batrinesc.
02/18/06    Added Biserka and Joc Batrinesc de la Niculetel.

11/27/05    Replaced Ooska Gookas with corrected lyrics and added midi file.
                  Replaced Vranjanka with corrected (and full) version and added midi file.
11/26/05    Replaced Jovane Jovanke and Kopačka with corrected font, measure numbers,
                  etc. Added midi files for each.
10/30/05    Added Triti Puti, with a midi file.
10/16/05    Added İşte Hendek with lyrics with correct letters and diacritical marks for Turkish. Added midi file;
                  Note the midi file does not play back the sequence given on page 1, just straight through beginning to
                  end.

09/28/05    Added version of Hora ca la Caval with correction to chord in measure 24, plus a midi file.
09/25/05    Added Horehronsky Csardas.
09/16/05    Mpambano was up temporarily but has been taken down pending receipt of some corrections.
09/05/05    Added Zol Zayn Gelebt.
08/16/05    Added missing backward repeat to last part of Ivanice, C and Bb versions.
07/17/05    Added fine to part B of Idam ne Idam. Corrected midi file, which was playing part B endlessly.
07/17/05    Revised version of Dospatsko primarily to correct chord in last measure of part D from major to minor.
                 
Also added a midi file-- note the midi file simply plays straight through A through D, does not tackle the
                  
repeat sequence.
07/16/05    Corrected measures 36, 43 and 45 in Alexandrovsky. Also corrected a problem with repeat playback
                   and posted a corrected midi file.
06/19/05    New Hava Nagila with corrected chords, more accurately positioned lyrics.   
                  Replaced both C and Bb Karamfil versions with slight (mainly cosmetic) changes. Replaced the midi file
                  (which had bad-sounding chords) with one that has no chords.
06/03/05    In Ma Navu, corrected final note of measure 14, upper staff, from G to E. Replaced its midi file with the corrected
                  version, and also removed the bad Finale-generated chords from it.
04/26/05    Removed superfluous forward repeat from measure 13 of Shottis fran Idre (both concert   
                 
and Bb versions.
03/21/05    Corrections on links to Rumelaj concert version and to the midi file. Where would I be without Carl?!
02/24/05    Added Finale versions of Rumelaj including harmony line in the Bb version, and added a midi file for it.
02/22/05    Corrected key change at measure 31 of Crnogorka and corrected midi file as well. Thanks, Carl.
02/12/05    Added Finale versions of Crnogorka plus a midi file for it.
01/22/05    Corrected composer for Beth Cohen's (Larry Unger, not Jay Ungar--thanks, Sarah Gowen, good catch!)
01/18/05    There are two midi files for "Mazurka des Escholiers de St.-Genêt," (its full title). One is a
                 
simple one with just the melody as written. The other is a more complex one with other instruments
                  from the source of the tune: http://kazimodal.trad.org. The Van Basco player lets you filter it part by part.
                  Thanks to Kirsten Erwin for bringing this beautiful tune to the jam.
01/15/05    Added info to introduction on Van Basco player as a practice aid.

ano Dušo corrected to Serbian when music was added.
