*Notes: Thanks to Gilbert Hoek van Dijke for contributing the accordion recording and P. M. Blaja’s sheet music above, who writes, “The right title of this tune is ‘La Luna Dins L’Aiga’, a dance tune (scottische) written [by] Peire Maria Blaja. He is a diatonic accordeon player from Toulouse, France.”  He notes that the original score is in G major.

From another comment on this site: “Kerry Elkin, late fiddler from Massachusetts, recorded these tunes and stated that he’d learned them from a cassette tape by Serge Desaynay/Gilles LeBigot called “Tunes for America” which they self-produced to sell on during a tour in the United States in the 1980’s. There were only a few of these tapes made and not many survive. They are a great resource.”
