The Cajun Fiddle Tune Book [Paperback]

Deborah Greenblatt (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 1, 1985

This collection of Cajun tunes is intended as a stepping stone for those who are new to the Cajun tradition. It is impossible to adequately capture the spicy flavor of Cajun music in standard music notation, therefore, specific notes and bowings are suggested. The spirit in the music is quite infectious, and quickly you will find your toes tappin', your fingers flyin', and your bow dancing!

"Et toi" is the title for this review because "you too" should get this book! I agree with fellow reviewer Adam. This is a fun, fun book and tape collection. I have only been playing fiddle for a year and in no time I was playing some of the tunes in this book. There are some lovely waltzes, some foot stompin' dance tunes, and lots of tunes with double stops for that unique Cajun sound. My only regret is that my tape player is a bit slow, so my fiddle at standard tuning is out of tune with the tape. I would like to play along with the author, so I would prefer a CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cajun Fiddle Book Review, December 18, 1999

This is one of the best fiddle books I have ever purchased. The music is simplistic, yet each tune has a twist or quality that makes it sound unlike any other and becomes addictive to play over and over. The cassette also gets better with each listen.
