Scott City Hammered Dulcimer Workshop Page

Welcome!

Here are the tunes and preparatory materials you’ll need as a participant in Hammered Dulcimer Workshop which Steve Eulberg will be leading and Mershon Jones will be hosting  on Arranging for Hammered Dulcimers in Scott City, Kansas on Fri-Saturday, Nov 2-3rd, 2012.

I LOVE teaching this workshop and helping people learn simple (and more adventurous) embellishments, adding chords and arranging for solo, duet and ensemble playing.

Resources:

Improvisation: Tweaking Twinkles

I wrote an article for Dulcimer Players’ News in which I used Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star as an example of making some arranging choices. (All the issues are now archived on the website, so look at the issue in the link-Summer 2010–on pages 14 and following)

Tweaking Twinkle

Arranging Palette

Arranging is really about know what options are available and choosing the ones you want to use and when you want to use them.

Arranging Palette for Hammered Dulcimer 2012

 

We will use the following hymntunes as our case study for arranging.

Simple Gifts

This Shaker tune, by Elder Joseph Brackett, has been made more famous by Aaron Copland’s use of it in his Appalachian Spring  and by Sydney Carter’s setting of his lyrics of Lord of the Dance to this tune.
