Hi all,
just back from Minneapolis, on friday, work not pleasure, although I did get a whole hour in a place called the mall of America, now that was big, compared to anything in the UK, I managed to find the whole family a gift so it was worth rushing around, a whole day would probably still be to short to do the lot, anyway I managed to pick up a couple of cd's one was a compelation, with an amazing air called my Lagan love, it has an instrumental with flute and harp for about 2 minutes then the flute stops the harp continues and a singer with a very beautiful voice sings the song.
I have tried to find the notes on the session dot org they have a version in C major, but as I have keyless flute I cant get low enough, does anyone have a version in D, notation or ABC.
Cheers sponge
my lagan love

- Tell us something.: irish music, specifically slow airs played on different whistle keys, also lower keyed flutes like Bb, but only from modern makers who have managed to get the hole spacing a little closer. And finally learning some fiddle tunes, mainly slow airs again so that the whole family don't go mad with the sound of a cat being strangled.

If you get the abc from the session, you can always paste it into a program like Barfly and have it transposed.

I think it's pretty hard to put airs like My Lagan Love etc. into written notation/ ABC etc. Desi Wilkinson does a lovely solo flute version of this - 1st track on his Shady Woods CD. Just listen to it a good few times and then have a go at it - the basic melody is simple enough, though I think there's a good few F nat notes, so maybe not so easy on a keyless D flute.
