Bb flute tunes on recordings
Hi folks, hope all the Yanks had a good Thanksgiving!
I've a Bb flute on loan and wondered if there was a thread on what recordings were done in Bb. Can't find such a thread - if there isn't one, can anyone post up some names and album/track numbers? (I'm sure I have some, just no idea where they are!)
Cheers!

Hi Lesl
There are three tunes on Bb accessible from my Bb Models page:
http://www.mcgee-flutes.com/Low%20flute%20models.htm
Cold in April/Black Nab, a pair recently written by Matt Walklate, and an older tune, The Barrel of Monkeys, from Gary Walsh.

Altan's Frankie Kennedy recorded this gorgeous slow reel in Bb in a set named Dobbin's Flowery Vale on Harvest Storm
Someone at the session posted an ABC of this version.

I've also assumed for more than a decade that D'sFV was the title of this tune.Frankie Kennedy's version
I found this whilst browsing the net and have transferred it here, having made minor alterations to the abc (but not to the actual notes):
X: 1
T: Dobbin's Flowery Vale
M: 4/4
L: 1/8
Q: 120
S: Frankie Kennedy
R: slow reel
N: Frankie Kennedy recorded this using a Bb flute. This transcription is transposed and written for D flute
D: Altan - Harvest Storm
H: Frankie Kennedy learned this from a tape of a BBC recording of Robert Cinnamond of Glenavy, Co. Antrim

This reel has nothing to do with the title "Dobbin's Flowery Vale" . Frankie learned the air of the song of that name from Robert Cinnamond, and stuck this reel after it. The only thing the 2 distinctly separate tunes have in common is that Frankie recorded them one after the other.

Sorry, my bad. I should have spotted that. That'll teach me to cut and paste...

Thanks Kenny. I realised the mistake only recently.
And now there was no doubt that the trees were really moving - moving in and out through one another as if in a complicated country dance. ('And I suppose,' thought Lucy, 'when trees dance, it must be a very, very country dance indeed.')

Yay! I have some of these cd's! So far have just been trying out regular tunes, then I thought this would be fun, to play along.. Lately I've been playing in Bb that Jr. Crehan tune, which I think is the same as the Long Black.. mentioned above, and also is called one of the Ha'penny's - Moll or Pol Ha'penny.. And look at that, Tom did the Dobbin's transcription hey!
thanks all thus far. It's a finger stretch for me on the bottom hand and I'm experimenting with 2 different right hand positions.
keep 'em coming, this will also be a good resource to have documented here.

Just tune the tune
For some time now I have been using my PC and various audio programmes to either slow down or re-tune pieces that I want to learn or play along with.
That way you can get all the Bb material you want!!
Cheers.

Yeah, me too. I use one for transposing the record, another one for slowing it down while playing (and for speeding it up but I've never done it ). Do we know one specific software which offers both these functions? And perhaps even the possibility of saving a track that's set into a desired pace? I also find transposing a track deeply distorts the sound. Which one does it the least?
Thanks

Yep!!
"Best Practice" will tune or slow/speed a recording and will record a copy of the tuned/slowed version as a .wav. AND - it's free to use - although I have sent the guy a few dollars coz I really appreciate his efforts.
