Does anyone knows if there a sheet music for Beltaine's version of Parcel of Rogues? I really like it and wanted to play with my whistle but I can't find a sheet music anywhere and since I'm a beginner at music in general I can't just tell the notes by ear. I'm assuming the song is played with a low D whistle.

- Tell us something.: Because I play flute and whistle.
With a toot on the flute and a twiddle on the fiddle
Hopping in the middle like a herrin on the griddle
Up, down, hands around and crossing to the wall
Sure hadn't we the gaiety at Phil the Fluter's ball

Yes, if you play that as written, on a mezzo/alto G whistle, it comes out in the same key as the recording the OP linked to.fintano wrote:Here is a version that fits nicely on a D whistle:

And that's the whistle I would use, personally.
If you played it on a Low D whistle (which the player on the recording might be doing) it would have to be played a 4th higher.
Because the first note in the first full bar, a B in that written version, is an E in the recording.
I tried playing it on a Low D too, it's very high! Goes up to 3rd octave D (the note written as second octave A, the second note in the last line).
