Originally a Scottish march.I've seen the pipe music but I can't recall the name.Like some other marches you can play it slowly as an air,a march or a reel or polka.I learned it from a banjo player named Neil Rosenberg who had it from a fiddler in New Brunswick.
I suppose my previous message is quite cryptic...Christian Huet mentioned Sylvain Lacroix, a dulcimer player from Quebec,really good stuff,worth a search and a listen...
Wow!Sylvain Lacroix,"Cordaphone",la bon musicien de Quebec[dulcimer]...
I should add that I call this tuning "the didgeridoo tuning"....tuning the D down to A is a big step...the string gets really flappy,you have to baby it[when you remember,laugh].
In reply to Christian...your English is better than my French,so.Some of my biggest musical influences are Acadian,metis and native[no,I'm not native]..I learned the singing[lilting]and clogging[foot-tapping]from Emile Benoit of Newfoundland.Like Emile did, I never know what I'm going to do[singing],which is great,it brings the music alive and makes it fresh.I never do it now unless I'm in company that understands the genre.Otherwise,it seems to scare people,which I find quite humorous.I'll see if I can find Sylvain and his music...see what kind of 'twist" he puts on things.
like that because it's "authentic", that can be a movie soundtrack.
you're in quebec ? so maybe you speak french ?
do you know Sylvain Lacroix, a dulcimer player living in the Temiscouata ?
Good stuff James! I appreciate your enthusiasm.
Wonderful!!
What a cool tune and a fun video! Well done!
Cool tune! I can't believe you pulled that string retuning/key change off so quickly. Impressive.
After the first go round I drop the low "D"string down to "A"and change key.
