Description

Twas in the Moon of Wintertime: Christmas in a Mellow Mode is a 75 pp book paperbound of minor-mode tunes with standard musical notation, mountain dulcimer tablature and portable hammered dulcimer chord shapes for 32 tunes from around the world and is the third in the Dulcimer-Friendly Worship Series.

The goal of this series is to make the hymns and carols of the church available and accessible to dulcimer players. Each tune in each volume is thoroughly researched (author, composer, translator) and the volume is composed of ecumenical and multi-cultural tunes which are indexed. This collection of minor mode tunes originates from multicultural Christmas traditions, but is fitting for all phases of the winter moon and spans genres from jazz waltz, shape-note tunes, English, French and German dances, to African-American spirituals and blues.

Recommended for dulcimer players with a basic level of playing experience who wish to expand their repertoire to include hymns of faith; dulcimer teachers whose students want to play the hymns and songs of their faith and pastors / church musicians who seek to expand the congregation’s experience of workshop, recapture and enliven the cultural traditions of the congregations, so they can appreciate the new cultural gifts from other people in our midst; and whose who seek to include other instrumentalists and voicing in the congregation’s worship. Several of the arrangements in this collection have been recorded on the accompanying recording ‘Twas in the Moon of Wintertime.
