The full length title of this book, Come to the Dance Hall: A collection of 207 melodies for Diverse Musical Instruments, Suitable for use in Country Dancing and Related Pastimes, pretty well says it all. This comprehensive, expanded and revised third edition contains nearly twice as many tunes as the second edition, inspired and informed by the author's long association with contra dance and related folk dance music traditions. Here you will find 69 reels and marches, 36 jigs, 70 waltzes, and 32 others including airs, hambos, polskas, schottisches, and swing tunes, all written by Carl Thor over the past 30 years. Harmony parts are provided for 25 of the tunes.
