The tunes have been chosen particularly for their rhythmic character, offering plenty of opportunity for musicians to add energy, expression and their own individual style to the music.\u003c\/p\u003e\t  \u003cp\u003eEach of the 101 tunes is presented with melody, chords and variations, making the collection suitable for a wide variety of instruments. Particular consideration has been given to tunes that sit naturally on the push-pull scale of the melodeon and other squeeze-boxes, making this an especially valuable collection for melodeon players.\u003c\/p\u003e\t  \u003cp\u003eAlthough the melodeon arrived much later than many of the musical traditions represented here, its distinctive character is remarkably well suited to the rhythms and phrasing of English dance music. The collection therefore combines centuries-old repertoire with John's extensive practical experience of playing this music for dancing.\u003c\/p\u003e\t  \u003cp\u003eTwo companion CDs are available separately: Orlando's Return and Garrick's Delight. Across the two recordings, John plays every tune featured in the book on his various squeeze-boxes, joined on many tracks by his son Benji Kirkpatrick on guitar or bouzouki. The recordings provide an excellent opportunity to hear the tunes as played by John and to follow the music or play along.\u003c\/p\u003e\t  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\t  \u003cul\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003e101 English traditional dance tunes\u003c\/li\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003eRepertoire spanning seven centuries of English dance music\u003c\/li\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003eSelected and presented by John Kirkpatrick\u003c\/li\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003eIncludes melody, chords and variations\u003c\/li\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003eParticularly well suited to melodeon and other squeeze-boxes\u003c\/li\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003eSuitable for a wide variety of melody instruments\u003c\/li\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003eStrong emphasis on traditional English dance rhythms\u003c\/li\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003eIdeal for playing, sessions, performance and repertoire building\u003c\/li\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003eTwo companion CDs available separately\u003c\/li\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003eOrlando's Return and Garrick's Delight together feature all 101 tunes from the book\u003c\/li\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003eCDs feature John Kirkpatrick on various squeeze-boxes\u003c\/li\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003eBenji Kirkpatrick joins him on guitar or bouzouki on many tracks\u003c\/li\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003eIncludes a FREE Hamcor Publishing Treble Clef Key Signature Bookmark\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003eFor players interested in the distinctive sound and rhythm of English traditional music, John Kirkpatrick's English Choice provides an extensive and characterful collection of 101 tunes, combining centuries of dance repertoire with the experience and enthusiasm of one of its best-known modern interpreters.\u003c\/p\u003e\t  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe 101 tunes are:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ctable style=\"width:100%;\"\u003e  \u003ctbody\u003e    \u003ctr\u003e      \u003ctd style=\"width:33%;
