Whilst browsing the Reyburn whistle site (just lovely whistles, perhaps a little advanced for me yet..) I clicked on the session D whistle sound sample on this page: http://www.reyburnwhistles.com/2009/07/test/
I was amazed by this tune…
It is not only superbly played, but a beautiful tune too. It sounds as if it went on for longer than the clip is edited for…can anyone identify this tune…
I e-mailed Ronaldo and he told me that the name of the tune is “The Collarbone of a Hare”
All the best
James
Probably after the W.B. Yeats poem of the same name.
Thanks for this! It didn’t occur to me to email the site owner!
Is it a longer piece than is played?
Here is a link to the full version of this great tune.

If anyone knows where I can find a link to the sheet music for this tunes, please let me know. It is gorgeous.
