Tune I'm writing, FINAL VERSION! (hopefully)

Post by Azalin »

Okay, so here's the real, real FINAL version of the tune, I'm happy with it, and I don't have any more time to polish it :-) As I said, this tune is written for a friend of mine, I started with another title but the final title is "The Lovely Spirit".

Here's the link:

<a href='http://www.metayer.info/mp3/VOICE038.MP3'>The lovely Spirit</a>

And here's the ABC:

X:1
T:The Lovely Spirit
R:jig
M:6/8
K:Ador

hey Az,
I would like to bash your tune a bit, just to do you a favour. But it sounds just great, really, I love it. If you were living closer to me, I would offer you some roses for it :wink:

A lovely little tune you got there Az.
Puts me in mind of "The Monaghan Jig" or maybe "The Trip to Sligo". I find it very comforting that ITM is being nurtured in such far flung corners of the World.
I will be raising a glass or three to "The Newborn" later on .
Be proud of youself this night.
slan,

The A part sounds like an original of mine, the "Caffienated Jig"!

Fine jig. I rather like how the descending runs in two parts echo each other without duplicating or happening at the same time.

The current second part feels like a third part to me... (and to a lesser extent, the first part feels like a second part.)

Good tune. Good job. I like it because it is intresting.

Puts me in mind of a newborn calf at the end of it's first day when it's figuring out that it can run and jump. :)

Tell us something.: I love Irish music! I am mostly a whistle player but would like to learn more about flutes. I also have a couple older whistles I'd like to sell and maybe pick up a bamboo flute to practice with.

Hey AZ,
The jig sounds great! In keeping with my true C&F nerdiness, what whistle are you playing on the recording?

Thanks all, I appreciate the comments.

Claudine, your virtual roses are pretty welcome. I'm writing the tune for a very good friend of mine, my friend should be the one getting roses :-)

Yes, I'll modify the tune a little bit, I guess the current two parts should be second part and third part, I'm gonna have to work on the first part on sunday, and maybe make the second part (first on the clip) a little bit better.

Thanks again and I'll keep you posted with the upcoming full version!

Thanks Az, I really appreciate you writing a tune for me.... but you really shouldn't have.

p.s. I ate 3 hot dogs earlier and I was thinking of you.
No I'm not returning...

Well, I woke up this morning and made a few changes to the tune, added another part, etc. I'm pretty happy with the final version, as I wasnt really pleased which the first part I wrote yestersay, I scrapped it.

Here's the final version:

<a href='http://www.metayer.info/mp3/VOICE037.MP3'>The Newborn</a>

Please let me know if you like it or not.

Jack, it's not for you, but if you come this summer I can play it for ya ;-)

PS: SirNick, I'm using a tweaked O'Briain whistle.
