Another Sheetmusic Quest

DixieWhistler · Post by **DixieWhistler** » Tue Jul 31, 2001 9:13 pm

I suddenly realized that the only reason I actually post here is when I am on the hunt for certain sheetmusic... the rest of the time I just lurk. If this is "wrong," or bothersome to even one here, PLEASE tell me and I'll stop!

I'm looking for a decent version of "Brian Boru's March." I heard this played this past weekend by an 11 harp ensemble and decided that it was really a great song, contary to my former opinion. I've heard it before but never as nice. If the ornamentation is written in the music it's a plus, because I stink at doing it myself...

As always, thanks much in advance.

Homespun Tapes has in stock" Cathal McConnell teaches Irish Pennywhistle: Book and CD; in which you will find a very good version of Brian Boru's march.

There isn't any ornamentation, but it does give the guitar chords. Go here:

Hope this helps

It's also included in 110 Irish Best Slow Airs, which can be got with a cd of all the tunes. I don't recall ornamentation included in the print.

Thanks to you both!

Whenever there's a CD, I (usually) have better luck with the frillies (as my sis calls them, but then that's only on a good day... she's got other ... um... choice words associated with my whistles too.) It's really just a matter of patience when it comes right down to it, anyways, and everyone knows I'm decidedly lacking in that area.

Happy Whistling All,
