Orange in Bloom (Jeffries Anglo concertina)

The morris tune Orange in Bloom, or Sherborne Waltz, played on my C/G, 38-button Jeffries concertina. I stole this lovely arrangement from Adrian Brown and mangled it terribly -- thanks and apologies, Adrian! I really am better than this usually, but the keys are spaced differently on my other instrument and it always makes for a challenge to switch back and forth. I’ve made a tutorial for this tune for 30-button C/G Anglo here: Adrian’s original video (created to demonstrate the difference between equal temperament and 1/4 comma meantone): Note that Adrian is playing in F on a Bb/F concertina, and I’m playing in F on a C/G concertina, which partially accounts for some of the differences in phrasing. Update 7 Feb 2021: Adrian has just posted another lovely arrangement, go listen to it!
