On Jean-Michel Veillon's CD "Pont Gwenn ha Pont Stang" (flute, sorry) he plays a great set of Irish reels, one of which is "The Reel With the Beryle". A search of the my usual sites came up empty. Does anyone have a source for the music? It would save me some transcription time.
Thanks,
Bruce

Bruce, if I'm not mistaken, on one of the Chieftain's early albums (7? 8?) this title is given to a tune that is basically a Co. Clare setting of "Drowsy Maggie". (And if I am not further mistaken they paired it with "The Wind that shakes the barley".)
Does J-MV's tune sound Drowsy Maggie-ish, the first part, anyway? If so, you can probably find it under this title.

Sorry, but I've had the tune on the brain since Bruce mentioned it. It is on Chieftains 8 and it goes like this. Maybe it's what J-MV plays.

It's a variant spelling of "birl", which it seems is a Scots piping ornament. (See here:By the way, do you know what "beryle" refers to?
<a href = "http://members.tripod.com/~citylion/Som ... .htm">Some comments on the birl</a>)
I've heard Irish musicans use "berl" or "berl", especially in Donegal, to refer to, I think, a good driving quality in a tune. Sort of "The reel with woomph".

I have just corrected a mistake in the ABC code that was preventing the concertina.net MIDI generator from playing the complete tune. The "2" for the second-time bar was missing and the MIDI file stopped there. So if you scroll up to the post with the ABC code and click the concertina.net link, you can hear the thing.
