Welcome to the Traditional Tune Archive</h1>

This is a '''Semantic Index of North American, British and Irish''', traditional instrumental music with annotation, formerly known as "[http://www.ibiblio.org/fiddlers/ The Fiddler's Companion]".

Although we are not trained musicologists and make no pretense to the profession, we have tried to apply such professional rigors to this Semantic Abc Web  as we have internalized through our own formal and informal education.
<br>
<br>
This demands the gathering of as much information as possible about folk pieces to attempt to trace tune families, determine origins, influences and patterns of aural/oral transmittal, and to study individual and regional styles of performance.

Many musicians, like ourselves, are simply curious about titles, origins, sources and anecdotes regarding the music they play.  Who, for example, can resist the urge to know where the title ''Blowzabella'' came from or what it means, or speculating on the motivations for naming a perfectly respectable tune ''Bloody Oul' Hag, is it Tay Ye Want''?

Knowing the history of the melody we play, or at least to have a sense of its historical and social context, makes the tune 'present' in the here and now, and enhances our rendering of it.

How to start a new test wiki?</translate> ====
<translate><!--T:8-->
If you are here to start a new language edition of a project, you can find all information on [[Special:MyLanguage/Help:Manual|Help:Manual]]. Please be aware of the local [[Special:MyLanguage/I:Policy|policy]].


<!--T:9-->
<br>
Some important rules:
<p><center><font face="sans-serif" size="3">'''Edited and Administered by'''</font></center></p>


<!--T:10-->
* You need a valid [[I:ISO 639|language code]] (explained in [[Special:MyLanguage/Help:Manual|the manual]]), if you haven't, you can apply for one, or go to [[wikia:incubatorplus|Incubator Plus]].
* Starting a test wiki here doesn't mean it will later be automatically accepted by Wikimedia; you need it to be approved by the [[m:Langcom|Language committee]] first. See [[m:Requests for new languages|Requests for new languages]] for more information.
* Please respect the naming conventions for the test language, to help future migrations of pages to an actual wiki project. All of your test pages (including templates and categories) need to be named uniquely (by using a prefix — at least the language code; see above) and consistently.

How to contribute to a test wiki on Incubator?</translate> ====
<translate><!--T:12-->
If you have knowledge of a language which currently has a test wiki here, you are strongly encouraged to contribute to that test wiki.


<!--T:13-->
<p><center><font face="sans-serif" size="3">_____________________________________________</font></center></p>
Please give all pages you create a correct prefix. [[I:PREFIX|More information about prefixes]].
