Sheet Music For "The Coast of Malabar" (Cooder/Chieftains)
Posted: Fri Mar 14, 2014 11:28 pm
Hello:
Long time, no post. A while back I went over to the 'dark side' (actually, the shiny side--the 'silver' flute). I am starting with slow and easy tunes that I have familiarity with on the whistle. Therefore I am looking for the sheet music for 'The Coast of Malabar' as it is found on the Long Black Veil CD (Chieftains with Ry Cooder on this track). I believe it is in E-Flat Major and I think I noodle along with it correctly on the E-Flat and B-Flat whistles, but would like the benefit of having the dots and lines to be sure. My teacher has asked me bring in sheet music for it and has suggested that I take a stab at creating my own by transcribing what I think I know. Were I to do this it will surely not be a thing of beauty when I am done with it and, at best, will probably just reduce to writing ('hen scratching') the liberties I am probably already taking with this wonderful tune. Hey, new instrument, new beginning, why not correct sheet music?
I will appreciate it if anyone can send me a copy of said sheet music if to do so will not be a misuse of any third party's work product.
It is good to be back.
Be Well,
Tom Dowling
