Free Printable Violin Music
Musical Priest

Free printable violin music Musical Priest is a catchy tune and fun to play.  It is especially useful for fiddle players just starting to add ornaments to their playing.  Musical Priest is offered here in two arrangements: a simple version with large notes and no ornaments, and a smaller musical font arrangement that shows where to add turns to the melody.

This is a lively tune.  Here is a video from the website of Duncan Cameron, with a close-up lesson:

For beginner violin players, it is easier to first master the melody, and then add in the ornaments in lines 1 and 2.

My two versions are almost the same as Duncan Cameron's, but is closer to the arrangement found in The Fiddler's Fakebook.

Try this reel with a swing rhythm (LONG-short, LONG-short, LONG-short, LONG-short, etc.).  It has a very different feeling!
