This collection of sweet waltzes and lively two-steps presents an
exciting new repertoire for mountain dulcimer players, with playing
techniques for authentic style. A CD of all the music is included, and
the notation and chords in standard keys can also be used for other
instruments. This music suits the mountain dulcimer well because it
comes from the Cajun accordion, which has the same simple diatonic
scale. The easy melodies and chord progressions in this repertoire can
be played by less experienced dulcimer players, while the tips on
improvisation and embellished versions offer creativity for more
experienced players. Music includes "Jolie Blon," "Mardi Gras Dance,"
"J'ai Passé Devant ta Porte," "Allons à Lafayette," "Madame Sosthéne,"
"The Back Door."
