“These three books are perfect for anyone wanting to not only learn French traditional tunes for fiddle playing, but also to see the French influence on songs that became popular in the Americas. The French compilation contains many simple and well-recognized tunes such as ‘Free Jacques’ and ‘Au Clair De la Lune’ as well as a number of French versions of polkas, schottisches, and other dance tunes. The Cajun compilation covers many recognizable tunes that one may not immediately know the titles of. It is also very dance tune-heavy in content, which is expected of that culture. The Canadian compilation pulls in a few tunes from each regional style (Quebecois, Cape Breton, Ottawa Valley), but also shows the English influence on Canadian fiddling. Like all of Greenblatt’s work, the trio of texts highlighted here are easy to follow and include chord progressions for guitar/piano accompaniment. These are truly recommended for anyone interested in European culture influencing music in the US and Canada”
