This sample app demonstrates the features of the full Portland Collection, Vol. 1 app, which can be purchased for $24.99. The full app contains clearly readable notation for the 318 jigs and reels in this popular tune book, which has become ubiquitous among contra dance and other musicians. Irish, Scottish, Québécois, Appalachian, and New England genres are represented. The tunes are both traditional and recently composed, from local, (Portland, Oregon) treasures to national contra dance standards. There is an extensive commentary on every tune including stories about the tunes from their composers. There are chord suggestions, a discography, a bibliography, and more. The tunes and their histories were collected from many Portland contra dance musicians who generously gave of their time and talent to help create this comprehensive musical resource. All features of The Portland Collection, Vol. 1 (book) are included in this app.
