Tunes with Fnat and/or Eb urgenty needed!

Doc Jones · Post by **Doc Jones** » Thu Dec 09, 2004 4:02 pm

My flute is back from Casey's workshop...with keys!

I need some tunes with Fnat and/or Eb in them!

This is a serious emergency and I appreciate your support during this time of crisis.

I'm sure you'll find a bunch on this website in general.

The Yellow Tinker! As played on Solas: Solas..

and

The Moving Cloud.. you can play it just fine with D's in the first part, but the transcriptions usually go from D to D#.

I think Paddy Fahy's comes to mind...

"Kiss the Maid Behind the Barrel" -- a reel in O'Neil's (the big yellow book). Fantastic tune, 4 parts.

Cara

It's good to see that you're still around Cara, sending you a big smooch

Tunes using F naturals - Paddy Fahy's your man, also Paddy Kelly, and quite a few compositions by Ed Reavy. One of the few tunes I'd attempt using both F and Eb keys is the hornpipe "When The Tide Comes In", also known as "The Factory Smoke" or, recorded by Martin Hayes as "The Brown Coffin". Good luck.

My favorite tune with an Eflat/Dsharp is Squire Parsons by O'Carolan. It's available various places on the web -- if you want an ABC or PDF without searching, email me.

The Drunken Sailor (per the setting in the The Fire Aflame CD)

I like The Commodore. It's a reel in D, but the second part has Fnat and Cnat. Don't know what mode that puts it in. Cherish the Ladies recorded it, among others.

Here are some of my favorites:

Bare Island (or Bear Island, I've seen it written both ways)

Julia Delaney (which gets played almost every session)

Crabs in the Skillet

Fahy's Reel

The Sunset

If you really want a challenge, try Eileen Curran, a nice reel in G minor, or the Mountain Top, a B-flat major hornpipe.

Sounds like you got a great flute there, Doc! Congratulations!

Les Poule Huppees (a waltz, one of the first tunes I played with keys)

Roslyn Castle

Sandy Brechin's, Roddy's Last Trip

John Stevens of Chance Inn (a strathspey, one of my all-time favourites)

Niel Gow's Lament for His Second Wife

One other suggestion. Try to get hold of the recording by Paddy Carty of Galway. Lots of gems on that, including "Dowd's Favorite" and the afore-mentioned "Eileen Curran".

I also love Paddy Carty's rendition of "Galway Bay" on the other recording with Conor Tully. One of my favourite tunes of all times. It's in Gminor and it'll keep you busy for a while.

The waltz "Pernod" has an Eb in it. Not particularly Irish, I don't think, but a lovely tune and fun to play.

If you have Cathal McConnell's CD "Long Expectant Comes At Last," the liner notes say that he wrote one of the jigs specifically because he wanted to use his Eb key. Can't remember exactly which tune at the moment, and I don't have the CD here at work. Then again, without the CD the name won't do you much good, because you probably won't find the dots for it anywhere....
