Silver Speer Reels - Capercaillie

rpmseattle · Post by **rpmseattle** » Thu Dec 27, 2001 5:52 pm

Just wondering if someone can enlighten me about the reels found in the "Silver Speer Reels" selection on the CD "Get Out" by Capercaillie.

Are any/all of the sections of this piece standard session tunes, or are any/all completely original melodies?

Someone gave me an mp3 of the track, which appears to have 2 or 3 different reels put together in a medley, none of which sound like "The Silver Spear" I am familiar with.

Any info appreciated. Thanks.

Best wishes
Robert

There is another fairly common tune 'The Silver Spire' that causes some confusion with 'The Silver Spear' Name-wise I mean, they are distinctly different tunes..
