23 play where the library writes them; the other 1 fit in another key or an octave away, and each page is set up in the reading that works. Nothing here is marked by guesswork: a song is listed only if every one of its notes is a note this instrument can sound, and the line under each title gives the range it covers on the ocarina.

Songs that are not here
Everything on this page is public domain — traditional melodies and pieces old enough to belong to everyone. Film, game and pop songs are still in copyright, and an arrangement of one is a copy of the melody whatever notation it is written in, so they are not published here. The online ocarina has a tab editor instead: write your own, and the notes travel inside the link you share rather than being uploaded.
