Question for those that are experts on the "Ressikan flute"

Whistle
1

I’m a rather new player to the pennywhistle and, like you, I absolutely love the song that Picard plays in The Inner Light. I was wondering if anyone out there had the sheet music or chords to that song. While I’m at it, I’m also looking for the music to Greensleeves. I’m not a naturally talented musician, so I really can’t listen to the song and play it by ear, so I’d appreciate the help.
Oh, and I have a C whistle. I read the thread where it is established that Stewart used a D, so I also need to know if it’s even possible to play the song on my whistle.

Thanks!

Hi, Revanche. . .the Ressikan flute tune, Inner Light, has been posted here, I think. Try doing a search and seeing what comes up.

You can play this tune on whatever whistle; you just can’t necessarily play it with the TV show.

I’ll look through my files to see if I can find it, though.

Here’s the first bit, working from memory so it might be a bit off:

XXXXXX
XXXXXO
XXXXXX
XXXOOO

XXXOOO
XXOOOO

OXXXXX+
XOOOOO

XXOOOO

XXXXXO+
OXXXXX+

OXXOOO (or whatever your Cnat is)
XOOOOO

XXXOOO
XXXXXO

Edit - if you;re not familiar with whistle notaion, the six letters represent the whistle holes. The top of the whistle is to the left. An X is a closed hole and a O is an open one. A + means it is in the second octave.

hmmmmm. I’ll have to try that… I know that on Sessioneer, they have a midi file of it, but I’m not sure if anyone’s put down notation…

I have the sheet music and will send it to you via file once you have accepted me on ICQ.

I play it all the time on a B cane whistle and it sound beautiful (to me, anyways). You can listen to it here:

I recorded this snip of it when I was first learning the whistle fingerings, so it sounds a bit rough…:wink: Also, I’ve found that Yahoo connections sound better if you let it play through once, and then play it again.
