Hello there in the music world,
does anybody know a source in the net for the mentioned works?
I’m actually not looking for the score of it, just for the written down tune of “I walked across the fields this morning” which is one of my favourites and which I’d like to try on whistle. Just for me.
Many thanks in advance
P.S.: For interested readers wo don’t actually know what I mean: This is a work of Gustav Mahler, more classic, but very relatetd to his slavic/czech roots. Lovely melody.
I think it is the right song, but am not positive. I’m glad you said it was by Mahler! It could have been an Irish tune name and I would have spent forever looking in the wrong places.
It is in a key that you can play on D whistle, but I don’t think it is in the best key because of the low A at the beginning. Hmmm. But even in you played it in D, start on G, you’d have to go down to C I think. Oh well, good luck, I am not a musician! I listened to the midi—it definitely takes some odd twists and turns. I recently heard some bits of Slovakian traditional music played on some sort of wind instrument, and it was different from anything I had ever heard before. I can’t remember who or what the instrument was, it was a website I just happened across.
many, many thanks, yes, that’s the one!!! Looks like much half covering holes. But nice anyway. This melody is also part of his Symphony No. 1, set 1, I think.
The website you mentioned with the slovakian sound never heard before, was it this one here? http://www.fujara.sk
Indeed, fujaras are very interesting instruments, in fact fipple flutes as well like our whistles we all play here. But these are 5’ to 6’ tall. I love their sound too. My parents had a LP, which was given away after daddy died, named “Fujarocka moja” with lovely melodies and this certain sound.
