i have a clue to the name, its ‘the humors of …’ im not sure the second part.
its a nice three part pipe jig with a phrase which is a crans - followed by a quick run up the D major arpegio followed by another cran? on low D this phrase is used a lot in the A section and finished the B and C sections, the tune never goes above high G.
can you name it?
i hope im uning the correct mening of cran here, roll on the low D using the g finger and with the chanter off the knee.
i have no you-tube in work, but its not looking too hopeful if the session ABC’s are anything to go by.
ill checktonight and report back.
Hi Chris
I then thought it might be Humours of Dingle The middle tune here in this nice set by Jem on a Swayne whistle, but it goes to high A.
Is it the Humours of Kesh Virtual Session it is the third tune in the set of 3.

A severely truncated version of The Lark’s March?

Humours of Ballyloughlin?
That was the first tune I thought of, but dismissed it when I read the “three parts” and “D arpeggio” references – until I just now realized there’s a that big fat DFA ~D3, right there at the end of the A part.
DUH! Anyway, just in case, here are the ABC’s for chris:
X: 1
T: Humors of Ballyloughlin
S: “Ceol Rince na hEireann” 1/32
Z: B.Black
L: 1/8
M: 6/8
