THIS PAGE AND
THE LINKED PAGES ARE UNDER ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT. THEY ARE MOSTLY
COMPLETE AND GAPS WILL BE FILLED IN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
On this page you will find links to tunes from BFG music books. The tunes are available as images (the written music score) and as sound files. The sound files are in midi and should play on any computer. The tunes are played at slow speeds so that you can learn them by ear. In time we will add tunes as MP3 files, with each tune tune played by a member of BFG.
If your computer warns you that playing the files requires a plug in or is using scripts it is perfectly safe to allow this. All the files on this page are on the BFG website and you will never be sent to other sources for them .
The links below will take you to the tunes. If you know the name but don't know what sort of tune it is then you can find out from the alphabetical list.

Tunes will appear like the example shown as a picture image below. (This example shows a Quicktime music player. Your PC may use another sound player such as Windows Media Player.) Use the player controls to play/pause the music file. You will still be able to see the music score. Underneath the music score is a link to the sound file. If you right click on this you can download the file to your PC (use the Save Target As option). You can then play it without being connected to the web. If you use Media Player or The Amazing Slow Downer you can slow the music down. Right clicking on the music score allows you to save the image to your PC.

| BFG has included all the tunes on these pages to encourage players to learn them. Permission was granted by most composers to include their tunes in our music books. If you are a composer or if you represent a composer whose tune is included on this site and you want us to remove it, send us an email and we will do so. Most of the tunes here are traditional. | |
