We recently found a fascinating website for anyone interested in military and social tunes from the Georgian and early Victorian era. Extending from the time of the French Revolutionary Wars to the early years of Victoria's reign, the website profiles an absolutely enormous collection of tunes, some with "harmonies". It began life in England, but is now in Canada, soon to be in the City of Toronto Archives.

Just Another Tune - Website about Popular Folksongs and Ballads
Interested in Traditional Music?
Just Another Tune.com
We found this website the other day. It's by Jürgen Kloss, a trained folklorist (M.A, University of Bonn 1991). You might find it useful for tracing the history of some popular folk-songs and ballads.

Irish Music Collections Online (We're all Celts together)
This Irish piping link might be of interest to our Scottish music degree students. The tunes are not restricted to pipe music, and you never know when there might be overlap in repertoires!
