looking for 5/4 tunes

[rutemple]

So I've got a couple of French 5/4 waltzes under my fingerbones, and would like to learn more.

Anyone know any? I'd be glad for pointers to online sources, abc notation in a comment, or links to (gasp) sheet music...

some French 5/4 Waltzes

[rutemple]

This is abc notation; anyone who is not (yet) familiar with this notation system, it's Chris Walshaw's mid-1980s hack at trying to send a fiddle tune by plain ascii email. He took development open-source in 1994, and with the aid of a small group of dedicated programming musical geeks, it's grown up into a sleek, versatile, platform independent musical notation, playing, and typesetting tool. And it's still simple.
More info here at the abc home page:

and gobs of tunes here at JC's tune finder (you can nab a graphic file of the music, or have it played for you, there, too.
http://trillian.mit.edu/~jc/music/abc/FindTune.html

Here, then, are a handful of tunes in 5/4 meter that work as French waltzes (some are variations on that one tune everyone seems to know):
