Irish Session Tunes tune index

A searchable, unofficial index of 325 tunes from Ossian’s Irish Session Tunes books — the Green, Red, Blue and Orange books of jigs, reels, polkas, slides, hornpipes and airs that many learners start their session repertoire with. The list follows the books’ companion CDs (the Red Book CD carries about half of its book); sort by book order to see the sets as recorded.

Sheet music and playback use the first setting on thesession.org, so details may differ from the books.
