Cool tune!
Well done Mark!
This is a real tricky tune to play, with all the octave leaping about. Sounds pretty on a recorder too. Definitely NOT a noter tune !
.
I tried to play it on the penny whistle for a while, and found it just too much for my beginner skills. I'll enjoy your version vicariously!
Yes it was quite a challenge to arrange as well as to play. I also had to accurately bend a string each time for that sharp 7 in the final cadence. You can't do that on just any dulcimer, so I had to pick a dulcimer with relatively light string pressure... Doug Berch to the rescue (: But it's a really fine tune, so thank you for pointing it out back when.
Well done Mark!
