Help on Amergin tune, Link to clip now fixed

Whistle
1

Anyone one familiar with the Celtic group Amergin (Argentina) and have their CD or heard Gustavo Fuentes play the tune “Give me your hand” on low whistle?

I’ve been asked to play this tune at a wedding in this slow and airy way (both bride and groom use to live in Buenos Aires). Got the first part down but would like to know what the rest should sound like. My version tends to lose the airy feel and become more bouncy during the high section of the second part. Ordered the CD but just found out that it would be another 4-6 weeks until delivery :frowning:

Help, clips, tips on this or any other similar version would be greatly appreciated.

Here is a link to first part of the tune:

Thanks!

Edit:
The link is now directed to their media page, you’ll have to click on the tune yourself, as they don’t seem to allow direct linking to the mp3 samples anymore. Too many downloads I suppose.

There is a version on the bbc virtual session site of give me your hand.

You can print the sheet music as well as listen to the tune.

Hi!

I’ve heard the BBC session tunes before and this is the way I normally play the tune “Give me your hand”.

My problem starts when I try to slow the tune down and copy the clip I posted above. The first part is fine but when I reach the high section of the second part (not included in the free sample) I cant keep the airy feel of the tune. It actually sounds like I’m starting off on a new and different tune for a few bars.
Just wanted to know if anybody played this tune in a similar way or heard the second part of the sample with Gustavo Fuentes and could give me some hints, or post a clip of the second part.

Thanks anyway!
