This page contains links to PDF files containing music for the 2012 National Folk Festival Fiddle Rally. We have just started to update the website to include the music for the forthcoming National Folk Festival in Canberra over Easter. At the moment it is expected that practices will be held in the Session Bar at 3:30pm on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The final performance is likely to be at the same time as 2011 on the Monday morning. We will notify you as soon as rehearsals and performances are scheduled. All fiddlers are very welcome. For the past few years we have had roughly 60+ fiddlers (and others) on stage as you can see in the photo above! There is no Festival theme this year and our conductor for 2012, Trish Barker, has selected tunes sets that cover a wide range of fiddle styles.

The table below shows the set names and included tunes that are on the programme. Midi files containing the tunes as they are likely to be played are linked to the graphic in the Midi column. This is primarily to help provide some idea of the speed and structure of each set but actual dynamics are limitied to the structure of Midi and some variation will occur. PDF files containing the sheet music of the set are available in the PDF column and can be printed at any time through Adobe Reader.
