New England Fiddler's Repertoire is a source book of established contra dance music by Randy Miller and Jack Perron with an introduction by Newt Tolman. The first edition featured hand-lettered music, while the second edition (2003) presented easier-to-read music typesetting, tunes arranged alphabetically, and chords added. Over two dozen decorative wood engravings by Randy Miller were included.
This third edition by Randy Miller and Robert Bley-Vroman marks the 25th anniversary (1983-2008) of the publication of this essential tune book for the contra dance musician. NEFR-3 still has 168 classic contra dance melodies, from Batchelder's Reel to Chorus Jig, Money Musk, Petronella, Portland Fancy, and beyond, while maintaining all of the features of NEFR-2.
For the third edition of New England Fiddler's Repertoire, the time signatures for a number of tunes have been corrected to give an appearance more readily useful to the contra dance musician. Also added is a list giving the original 1983 order of tunes. The third edition was released January 25, 2008.
