Hello everyone. I'm back from a very productive trip to Romania. Not only were we able to work side-by-side with several hard working and loving Romanians, but I was also able to find the Budapest whistle guy that I mentioned a while back. I purchased a flute (in F) and several whistles, one of which is pictured below. I also found a traditional hymn tune that I had a friend translate. Both the words and the tune are beautiful and are below as well. It was originally in F, but I have transposed it to D.
Peace,
Erik

Hi Ron,
I'll work something up. It took me about 1 1/2 hours to go through all of his whistles to find one that was in tune enough. They are largely tourist whistles, but if you can find a good one, it performs well.
And Mack,
Thank you for your kind words. I honestly don't do much, though. Just travel there once in a while and help where I can. Really, the Romanians themselves are doing all of the work, but it is a long road.
The chords are in progress... I'll have them soon. Interestingly, the mandolin is one of their primary instruments. I heard a mandolin choir last week do Handel's Halleluia Chorus in 5 parts. It was incredible! Ages 8 to 14!
Peace,
Erik

The chords are complete and I've edited the images above to reflect that. I wish I could take credit for the left hand, but I can't. A friend of mine did the work and the first time that I heard him play it, it brought tears to my eyes.
I haven't recorded it to the whistle, yet, but I do have a MIDI available <a href="http://www.tullberg.com/NumaiHarul.mid">here</a>.
Peace,

WHOOPS! I just noticed that I forgot to transpose it to D. I'll see what I can do...
