OCTOBER ISSUE OF http://WWW.DULCIMERSESSIONS.COM IS ON LINE! Mel Bay Publications has an outstanding catalog of books, videos and recordings for mountain and hammered dulcimer players. To view the catalog visit http://www.baysidepress.com/subbrowse.asp? CatID=37&sub=1&heading=Dulcimer You can also DOWNLOAD Mel Bay books by going to: http://downloads.melbay.com/sheetsub.asp?CatID=37&sub=1&heading=Dulcimer As a courtesy to dulcimer players, Mel Bay offers a free bi-monthly internet "webzine" called http://www.DulcimerSessions.com that offers free lessons, written music and sound files for mountain and hammered dulcimer players. No need to subscribe; just visit http://www.DulcimerSessions.com to enjoy the October '07 issue: 1 "We Gather Together" from the Mel Bay book Shall We Gather, Hymns Arranged for Hammered Dulcimer by Madeline MacNeil. This hymn, arranged for hammered dulcimer, is often played at Thanksgiving time. This month’s guest authors are Bill Troxler, Jim Miller, and Rob Brereton, who have written the following articles: 2 Re-Visioning Familiar Tunes on Hammered Dulcimer by Bill Troxler. Lots of creative steps here to take a familiar tune and make it sparkle with new life. You’ll enjoy what Bill does with “The South Wind.” Includes a sound file. The following two articles have mountain dulcimer tablature and notation as well for hammered dulcimers: 3 Latin Rhythms for Mountain Dulcimer by Jim Miller, featuring tablature, notation and a video of him playing his arrangement of “Arkansas Samba.” As an added bonus in this article we’ve included photos of his hilarious musical “inventions.” 4 Playing Chromatic Music on Mountain Dulcimer in 1-3-5 Tuning, by Rob Brereton, explains concisely how you can use the harmonious 1-3-5 (D-F#-A) tuning to play notes you may have thought were missing from the mountain dulcimer’s diatonic fretboard and 3 strings. The article contains a fretboard survey, chord charts, and Rob’s arrangement of “Hello Ma Baby.” Rob pioneered this style in the 1990s with his playing of big-band era “standards” on mountain Dulcimer. Many of the people currently using this tuning learned from Rob’s classes. Don't forget to click on BACK ISSUES for more of the same! Many thanks to our October issue authors. I invite hammered and mountain dulcimer players to submit articles to me for possible inclusion in a future DulcimerSessions.com. We also welcome requests for new subjects from visitors to this http://www.DulcimerSessions.com
