The Peter Brunette Songbook
Illustrated Edition
Preview: The First Nineteen Songs
The songbook is a work in progress. The preview posted here contains nineteen of the forty-seven songs to be included.
Please note that an updated version of this preview, with a raft of corrections and revisions, was posted on May 5th, 2025. If you downloaded the document before that time, please discard it and use the current version instead.
You may, if you wish, print out any of the songs. I don’t recommend printing the entire preview, however, since the songs included in it may still be subject to minor corrections and revisions. I expect to complete the songbook in the summer of 2025 and post the final version here as a free download.
At that time, also, you’ll have a couple of other options. First, hard copies of the Illustrated Edition, professionally printed and bound, will be available for the cost of production and postage. Second, a Bare-Bones Edition, containing lead sheets only and more suitable for home printing, will be available as a free PDF.
If you’d like to pre-order a print copy of the songbook, please contact me using the email link at the bottom of the page. Prepayment is not required.
Upon request, I can also supply lead sheets of individual songs transposed into different keys. Just drop me a line specifying the song title, the target key, and whether the melody should be transposed up or down.
