Hi Folks,

Happy Tunes,
Lupy

ah . . . testing the ole memory banks . . . i got it from somewhere on the web several years ago. quite a nice piece. i remember getting my daughter to join me on it and i changed the name to "grass in the graveyard" on her sheet music. now if i can just remember where i found it . . .

I think you might be having trouble because it's actually a modern composition for the Highland pipes (hence its small range). It was written by Terry Tully.

The sheet music (written as for highland pipes) is here:

This is a link to a webpage; I didn't scan it in. I see the copyright notice on the bottom.

Also, C and F are sharp, but the sharps aren't usually written on highland music.

If you are interested drop me a line and I can send you an arrangement of a tune called The Maestro and the Minions, that we play with the Ass.

we did the arrangement ourselves, so it works for whistle.

There is an abc transcription that David de la Barre did, and we played it a few times at session, three Bb-whistles, in harmony. Nice stuff. His nick here is feadan, that should have his email. I'm sure he'll be happy to share (you can hear him play it in a multitrack recording on clips & snips).

Hi Folks,

Thanks you all for the replies

Many Thanks Sturob for the score - ideal! I'll play around with the score and see what I can come up with. I'm fairly used to altering Highland Pipe tunes (I live in the North of Scotland so Pipes a plentiful!).

Demon Piper, thanks for the offer - I'll Email in just a minute

Again, many thanks to all for the replies and great help!
