I’m trying to get the following couple of tunes by ear from the CDs I have and there are couple places where I’m getting stumped. If any of you out there in TV land have these CD’s and could give a listen, I would appreciate it.
The first tune is from Paddy Keenan’s “Poirt an Phíobaire” CD. Track 8 “O’Neill’s March” My question is about the second part, first time through. I have it like this:
M:2/4
L:1/16
K: D
e2a2 a2ga | b2ba g2ge | gede g2B2| gedB GABd |
I’m reasonably sure the first two measures are right, but not so sure about the 3rd and 4th.
Okay next tune, from a more obscure album. “The Humours of Piping” track 9 “O’Rourke’s Reel”.
M: 4/4
L: 1/8
K: G
B |c3B ~A3B | BAAG AA .d2 | cdcB cABG | (3.B.c.d cA GdBA |
Again, 3rd and 4th measures are the one’s I’m shaky on. Esp. the little downward run right after the staccatto D (3rd measure).
Well, hope someone out there can help me out. Thanks alot.
