Three waltzes by Brian Pickell: http://www.brianpickell.com/music/
Muriel's Waltz, Sourgrass and Granite and Waiting for Emilie. These are lovely to play on the flute.
And three Scottish tunes: Farewell to Glasgow, Farewell to Nigg and The Stool of Repentence.

Right now, my fancy is stuck on Corney Is Coming. Next is Jenny's Wedding.
I'm also liking Shaskeen Reel/Jenny Picking Cockles and another reel whose title escapes me at the moment.

Very! Either as a solo tune or all three together as they are played on his album. A friend who lives in Michigan was visiting Kansas a month or so ago and the waltz Sourgrass and Granite was being played everywhere!Yeah, Brian's waltzes are great, aren't they?

Silly me -- I have his CD, but didn't realize all three waltzes were on one track there. For some reason, I thought Sourgrass and Granite was missing. The waltzes also show up on the Schryer/Byrne duo album, Nicholas Williams' solo flute album, and Patrick Ourceau's Live at Mona's.
Brian has the notation for S&G is on his webpage, too: http://www.brianpickell.com/music/downloads/tune43.jpg

Hey, Bloom, yours seem to be quite in line with my favorites right now. Dr. O Neill is a classic that I never get tired of...We always play Down the Broom with The Gatehouse Maid (great tune!).Bloomfield wrote:Banks of Loch Gabhna
Down the Broom
Dr O'Neill
And Johnny Cope (but just working that one up)
My other favorites right now would be Ormond Sound, Teampaill an Gleanntain, The Long Drop, An Buachaill Dreoite (jig) and a wacky slip jig called Farewell to Whalley Range (a.k.a. The Flying Pig), which I learned over the summer and which turns out to be a Michael McGoldrick composition.
Right now I am working on: Gerry Crommane's (from Joe Ryan), The Glen Road to Carrick, Jenny's Welcome to Charlie, and I want to learn Sean Sa Ceo but haven't yet. Any good recordings of Sean Sa Ceo out there?

note that this is a piano/harpsichord score with baroque ornamentation. Just play the top line, preferably along with a record to get an idea of how the baroque decorations sound: some of them use the same notation as celtic ornaments, but are played very differently. Or, try using Celtic ornaments to hear it the way Johann Sebastian's Irish cousin Sean O'Bach might have played it...

Yes, I play Down the Broom into Gatehouse Maid (which is nice, but not as interesting a tune as DtB). I learned DtB off Peter Laban who had another reel after it that I've been meaning to pick up, but haven't.feadogin wrote:Hey, Bloom, yours seem to be quite in line with my favorites right now.

My favorites right now are The Banshee (love that one, and I play it quite well, that always helps ), Tripping up the Stairs, Si Bheag, Si Mhor, The Bucks of Oranmore, and The Fools Jig...When I looked at your posting, Phil O, I read judas priest instead of musical priest...anyone care to try to play Judas Priest on their Irish instrument
