l transcribed this tune from Breton flute player Sylvan Barou at the boxwood festival in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. He didn’t know the name of the tune. It has beautiful ebb and flow, almost like a meditation or series of breaths some short , some long. Sounds wonderful when he played it on the flute , works well on the fiddle and I think it would sound good on concertina or accordion. .
