Re: Can someone help me identify a tune?
In all honesty, I think you would have to ask the gaming-music composers what their sources are. As I said, any source material would be so piecemeal as to be ultimately untraceable. A lot of Trad music can be a matter of shuffling building blocks. Not all of it, of course, but it's a common thing. Some of these building blocks can be no more than three notes, so this makes sourcing a monumental task.
I guess what I'm saying is that it would be better for you to take the plunge and get into Trad for yourself. Get to know the idiom up-close and personal, and then you would start to understand where we're coming from. Plus, if you're a composer yourself, this would open up a world of source material for you, and you could pick and choose.

Re: Can someone help me identify a tune?
I don't think I have time or energy for composing, I have too much of a day job for something like that.
Btw I think this might be a Reel, what do you think:

You could dance a reel to it if you had to, but that's as far as it goes. Play that at a traditional Irish or Scottish dance venue and you'll probably get mobbed, and I don't mean in a good way.Desperado wrote:Btw I think this might be a Reel, what do you think:

To elaborate, it has no melodic elements that are recognizable to a Trad player as being tradsome. None. It's fine for what it is in a gaming context, but in a traditional context it would be a full-out abomination.

Perfect if the question was 'is this a reel?', but it was 'what do you think?'benhall.1 wrote:No.

Re: Can someone help me identify a tune?
In the hope that I'm still welcome:
Does anyone connect the motive here that goes in this song from 36:56 - 37:03 with a separate song where it plays a central role?

Thanks

Re: Can someone help me identify a tune?
Nothing jumps out, but then I'm a dance music and airs player, and am not too familiar with the greater corpus of the singing tradition; that said, whether instrumental or song, there's a LOT out there. Do you have the song?
You get points for Derek Bell.

Re: Can someone help me identify a tune?
According to the commentaries it might be based on a song called "Dawning Of The Day" but I searched for other songs with the name and couldn't find this sample in them so I thought maybe it was some staple that only might be in this particular version but might be a staple in irish music canon.

Re: Can someone help me identify a tune?
Sometimes a run can be unique to a piece, not being used elsewhere, and who can say why. But sometimes the same run in a slow air might be used in a sprightly dance tune, but with the difference of context and form, and possibly placement, too, it might not always be spotted. Or it might just be a passing variation.
