 A set of 14 folk tunes arranged for acoustic instruments and suitable for ensembles ranging from duos to small orchestras. This is our second volume of tunes. It differs from the first in that it also includes our unique arrangements of a few well-known traditional tunes as well as those composed by us.  Beautifully illustrated, each tune has three written parts – melody, countermelody, and bass line – as well as chords shown beneath the melody line. In addition to technical tips, there is a video performance of each tune by Moonrakers, played at a steady pace. Suitable for intermediate/advanced players. 
To obtain a hard copy, see above. Also available as an e-book from Acoustic Music for Folk Ensemble, Vol. 2 eBook + Online Video - Mel Bay Publications, Inc. : Mel Bay
