One of the tunes that I have taught myself Teampall an Ghleanntáin (Crissoned the Hairy Reel by Patrick D'Arcy and gang). Is a rather unusual tune. It has a very limited scale which makes me think that the tune was orriginaly written for the pipes. The tune also has a very big lilt feel for a 4/4 time which makes me think that it might have been in a different time signature before being written down. Maybe it was 6/8 or 9/8?
I personally think it sounds better played in a closed style (that's probably because I play a closed style mind you ). I also find you can give the tune an interesting sound by craning the D every second time through.
Any comments?
Cheers L42B

Can you post a clip of yourself so we can hear it played in the closed style? I'd be interested to hear the difference in interpretations.

Great site Stuart. I especially like the 'doggy-dog world' entries -
Americans are always in a rush, always looking at the clock, never waiting patiently. It’s a doggy dog world out there. (link)
Only those nations survive in this doggy dog world that consider their land, language, culture and freedom above all petty differences of religion, social class, and economic standing. (link)
the true matter is: it’s a doggy dog world out there and they’re all in it for the money. (link)
The guard may have just been saying what he thought was expected of him, but you can certainly see how a doggie dog world leads to homophobia. (link)
He took kids and taught them the ways to become successful in this doggie dog world, including me. (link)

It'll have to be next week sometimes (no promises though). I've been very bussy at the moment with things other than pipes. It also depends if my friend will allow me to borrow his recording studio for an hour . As I'll be recording some CD's for some friends of mine in Dublin as well.Justine Wrote

Good tune! Tonight I sneaked away from my kitchen project long enough to get it down on the whistle. Tomorrow, I'll put it on the pipes.feadogin wrote:
