Re: Does anybody know that tune
It's The Queen of the Rushes.
I always get it jumbled up with Coppers and Brass - surely they're versions of the same tune?
cheers

Re: Does anybody know that tune
As Andy said, it's the G major version on "The Queen of the Rushes".
There is also a version in D mixolydian, as played by Liam O'Flynn on the Planxty album "Words and Music" - he couples it with "Paddy Fahy's Jig".

Re: Does anybody know that tune
the humours of enistymon has a very similar first part to the queen of the rushes (except in g), a second part similar to the second part of coppers and brass, and a third party similar to the third part of the queen of the rushes (but again in g)
i love o'flynn's playing of the queen of the rushes - it's got just about everything you could want a piping tune to have

Re: Does anybody know that tune
Am I the only one to think first of Tommy Reck for the D version and Maire ní Ghráda for the G one when it comes to this tune or is it a generational thing?

Re: Does anybody know that tune
Noooo, definately not the only one, but it probably is a generation thing.
Re: Does anybody know that tune
It maybe a generational thing, but any aspiring player of this music should be fully aware of what came before Riverdance. It isn't that hard to do in the "information age". Considering the cost of a set of pipes and the commitment involved in learning to play them, it makes one wonder why incipient pipers wouldn't be soaking it all up –– and not just pipes, but all of the music. On the other hand, there are certain amounts of pipering (and flute-playing and fiddling and low-whistling and box-playing) that I'm not much interested in. Maybe that's a generational thing!
P.S. I prefer it in G. Sounds a bit plodding in D.

Ennis said he felt G was the 'home' key for the pipes. Not without reason.I prefer it in G. Sounds a bit plodding in D

Re: Does anybody know that tune
Tommy played some fascinating variations for that tune, played B instead of Cnat in the 3rd part too. There just aren't idiosyncratic musicians like that any more.
I learned that tune from his LP too, well, cassette tape actually.

Re: Does anybody know that tune
That's just in D, not E minor. It goes into other things after it, and all sorts of bits and pieces of stuff, but the tune itself is played pretty straight in D at the start.Christian Tietje wrote:Hallo Hildegard,

Re: Does anybody know that tune
Hello Behall,
you're right, it begins in D, quote to the Planxty-Set. Then it modulates through baroque-Vivaldi-phrases. Please listen patiently until the end. After some changes it leads to e dorian mode, begins on b, only first two parts.
