I try not to use the same music for warm-ups. The warm-up tune doesn't get the same quality of attention, so I try to spread that out.

Big Sciota
usually hornpipes; alexander's most recently, and a couple of arpeggios.
Not a defined one but it seems that I will use the same one for months on end and then move on to another one. Some that have been in the warm up rotation recently: Swinging on a Gate, Big Scioto, Flowers of Edinburgh, The High Road, The Fun's All Over, Johnny Don't Come Home Drunk. I also do the Carlo Aonzo scales or various major scale exercises
Really simple stuff: Amazing Grace, Wildwood Flower, Old Joe Clark and then move on to O'Carollan's Blind Mary and then Ashokan Farewell. As I start to flex those fingers some more, I move on to bluegrass--Salt Creek, Big Mon, and and the like.
