The session http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/104 lists this as being in Dmaj but it doesn’t quite sound like Dmaj to me. Anyone know if it’s a modal variant?
It looks OK to me. Two sharps fit the melody. For accompaniment, I tend to substitute F#m7 for the A chord. FJohn should like that. ![]()

Nice tune. Looks like it ends the sections in Edorian which fits the 2 sharp key signature. Wanders a bit on the way though…and that is what makes it interesting, at least to me.
Well, if you go by the chords on Altan’s Harvest Storm, and not TheSession:
|D G D A|D G Bm A| |F#m G Bm D(7)|F#m G D A|
Since the composer Mark Kelly is the one playing guitar, presumably it’s what at least he had in mind. The endings aren’t EDor, but standard V-I turnarounds.
But chords are chords, and the tune’s the tune. You play what pleases you, and hope that someone doesn’t toss you out. ![]()
