tune in funeral scene of Waking Ned Devine?
hi, new to the tin whistle and new to this website. Can anybody tell me or better still can anybody share with me the name and notes to the tune played in the funeral scene of " Waking Ned Devine" One more maybe obviously stupid question. why isn't the third octave used on the tin whistle? the very small amount of literature i have doesn't show it being utilized. oh! 1 more. how do you slide from one note/octave to the next smoothly to give that lovely haunting sound? not much interest on these matters down here in Australia.

WELCOME!
can't tell you the name of the tune, don't know it.
concerning your q about the 3rd octave. as far as I know tinwhistles do not go any higher than the first note of the 3rd octave, to go higher is not within the physical range of this instrument.
and it would hurt the ears quite a bit too if you could.

Hey, we need to introduce you to Wombat!
Anyway a couple of the other Ned Devine threads talk about "The Parting Glass" but it is a song that is sung by one of the characters after the funeral. I think the one you're looking for is "Lux Eterna, My Eternal Friend".

All the music was written by Shaun Davey. No clue where you can get the notation but you can buy the soundtrack and try to sound it out.

Sliding a note is done by 'rolling' your finger off the hole to slide up a note or rolling on to the hole to slide down. On some whistles it also works by lowering your finger slowly onto the hole or raising slowly - that's not as reliable as rolling though, in my humble experience.
And whether the blood be highland, lowland or no.
And whether the skin be black or white as the snow.
Of kith and of kin we are one, be it right, be it wrong.
As long as our hearts beat true to the lilt of a song.
