Tunes for G 10-hole ocarinas

Read it up an octave. This version is from the Scottish accordionist Ian Lowthian, who recently ran a workshop on Latin American music for accordions. His harmonies are brilliant.

Thank you for this, is there much latin american music that works on transverse ocarina?

Yes, I'll have a look.

This is an often played tune in Turkey. It's like a schottische. It's attributed to the early 20th century classical musician Tanburî Cemil Bey, but he probably collected it from a Greek folkdance player in Mytilini (Lesbos). The rhythm is typically Greek and nothing about the tune suggests Chechnya.

It's written in huseyni (Dorian mode) in the range of a G 10-hole - the B is slightly flattened. But Turkish music uses staff notation as freely transposing and most of the time it would be a fourth down - play on a C ocarina fingering as if you had a G one.

There are a ton of performances of this on YouTube. This has two.

Very simple Kentucky tune, from Miles Krassen's "Appalachian Fiddle". I often play sets of old-time tunes and I can add this one in.

Sunshine - a bouncy modern balfolk tune by the hurdy gurdy player Gregory Jolivet. There are lots of videos of him playing it, never the same way twice.

Another balfolk tune. Like so many of them, fits the G 10-hole range. I've known it for years but only just found out what it's called.

This is from Matt Seattle, about his collection for Border pipes. Matt uses extended techniques to get the high B and C above the normal chanter range. This makes his piece more playable on a 10-hole ocarina in G than it is on the original instrument.

"I'd like to apologise for a mistake I made in the version of "John Anderson, my Jo" which features in "Geordie Syme's Paircel o Tunes".

This applies only to the version of the opening strain of the tune, the rest of the suite and the variations are not affected.

It must be admitted that the whole suite may not fall under everyone's fingers, but some pipers will be able to reach the high accidental notes such as high B and high C natural."
