JC's Contra-Dance Tune Collection
This is John Chambers' collection of
contradance music. The tunes themselves are in subdirectories with names like
jig,
march,
reel,
polka,
hornpipe and
waltz.
These classifications are somewhat arbitrary,
and some tunes may be in more than one subdirectory.
The Makefile contains instructions to build pages
of tunes with a similar feel, and which may be used as medleys.
You may also want to look in the adjacent
Ireland,
Scotland,
England,
Quebec and
KlezContra directories for more material.

If you don't have ABC software, you might like to try
a tool that I'm working on that returns the tunes in various formats:
CLICK HERE.
This will return the page you're looking at now, but the ABC files
will be expanded to show all the tunes, and each tune will have a
line of links to return it in a number of different formats.
