The Ninth Annual National Carry A Tune Week will be held October 4 – 10, 2009.
Sponsored by The Tune Lovers Society, this annual survey of favorite tunes chosen by Internet readers was begun as a way of remembering those lost from the terrorist attacks on 9/11/2001 .
Since 2001, the event has grown to a nationwide response with over 250 tunes chosen, covering a broad range of music styles from America ’s past.
You don’t need to be a singer or an instrumentalist to take part, but musicians are especially encouraged to participate. All you need is the willingness to look back and select up to 9 of your favorite American tunes.
The only criteria for National Carry A Tune Week are that tunes must be of American origin from at least TEN years ago (up to 1999) and in any of these categories:
I. Patriotic Music (Songs and Marches )
II. Folk Music (Traditional Folk Songs and Singer-Songwriter)
III. Religious Music (Gospel and Sacred)
IV Popular Music (Ragtime, Blues, Jazz, Easy Listening, Country, Rock, etc.)
V. Classical Music (Themes and Songs)
VI. Film Music (Themes and Songs)
