Now Online - L.E. McCullough Trad Irish Compositions

Irish Flute

Just in time for Chinese New Year:

Anyone interested in perusing and playing any of my traditional Irish compositions can do so at http://www.lemccullough.com. . . hit the Music tab, and the Tune Index link is at top left.

All 142 compositions to date are printed in music notation. . . audio clips for about 80 tunes, with more coming day-by-day.

Actually, to be fully accurate there are 142 and-a-half. . . composed the first part of a jig for a 7-year-old music student yesterday. . . she gets the second part when she learns the first. . . it’s like dessert after eating your vegetables kinda thing. . . or maybe I’ll let her compose the B part, get those creativity juices flowing early.

Thanks to Ms. Lesl Harker for transcribing and setup of the tunes using the space-age Tune-O-Tron process and world-of-tomorrow ABC Convert-A-Matic technology developed by Mr. Paul Schwartz at concertina.net. Lesl has two amazing tunebooks of Mike Rafferty flute tunes, BTW, at http://www.firescribble.net/rafferty/.

Happy Year of the Tiger!!!

Memorable titles: “Humours of Allegheny” and “A Ghost of His Former Self.” Ah, I’m remembering those correctly. Never learned them but the titles stuck in my mind anyways.

Your whistle tutor was a big inspiration/influence back when I was starting, thanks for that. Great exposition. I found a 1st edition for $1 in a pawn shop about 8 years ago, looked like it had been soaked in a vat of coffee.
