Happy Yule!
I hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday season.
I have always loved this time of year for its antiquity. Celebrating at this time of year is a tradition that goes back further than recorded history. When you add your voice and your music to that celebration, your voice echoes down the halls of Time.
One reason I love playing wooden flutes is that same feeling of antiquity. Some folks may wonder why I still play my old German 8-key alongside my 6-key Hamilton. It's because the old flute is a piece of living history, and when I play it, I hear in its sounds echoes of a world that is gone and will not return.
Peace and joy be with you all, through the holidays and through the coming year.

That is why my Tenor Banjo is from 1925, I wanted one with some history so I got an old one. I could have gotten a new Gold Tone which was fancier but I chose the old one.peeplj wrote: One reason I love playing wooden flutes is that same feeling of antiquity.

unseen, tap out the eighth notes and you'll get it easily....
I've been wondering of late, especially after watching a 1938 version of A Christmas Carol on television, what George Rudall would have been doing on this night. It was in the Dickens time, so perfect it would fit to the story.
Interesting. I had my own boxwood Rudall out this morning, realizing it was manufactured at that time (c.1832), and that George's own favorite flute was an 8key boxwood.
Sigh
It makes you pine for "simpler" days, no?
Notice, too, that in a Christmas Carol, there are no decorated trees nor presents. Just commeraderie and friendship and lasting enjoyment of a festive time. And recognition and help to those less fortunate.
The way it should be.
Play your flutes out loud on Christmas Morning!!

It's what has led me to the fife and now the keyless flute. Amazing how such a simple strip of wood with some holes in it has made music throughout the history of the world, parts 1 and 2.peeplj wrote:Happy Yule! One reason I love playing wooden flutes is that same feeling of antiquity.
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah and the rest to all.

I've just "midi'ed" it - and although it's a strict interpretation it gives you the beat of the quarter notes: tune in midiUnseen122 wrote:I tried it on Whistle as that is what was closest and it is a cool tune. I am not really a fan of the quarter notes in the A part as I can never count those right in 6/8.
Maybe that helps with the counting
