You should not think of the transcriptions as the last word on what's recorded, either melodically or re: ornamentation; I sometimes combined versions of melodies into one, or had to guess at some of the ornaments. Transcriptions are formatted so that 2-page transcriptions can be 3-hole-punched as facing pages. Tamubura chords formatted as X #,# indicate the chord followed by the suggested frets, drone string first, then melody. For a complete explanation of the tambura notation, transcriptions, tablature, fingering, strumming, and ornaments, please see Macedonian Folk Songs for Voice and Tambura Volume 1 and Volume 2. There is also a key available of the kaval ornaments I use for these transcriptions.
Please note that for some recordings still available for purchase, I have intentionally degraded the quality of the mp3 file associated with it, as well as truncated the file at both ends. For more specific questions and any suggestions, feel free to reach me via the contact form.
Iroquois Springs 2012 students: Below is the list of pieces for this year's camp. The class CD I bring to camp will have the full versions at CD quality. Let me know if you have any questions. See you soon!
