The Moon In May (NOT a reel)

I love to play ITM, but sometime i like something different..
This tune, written by me, is something different..
I hope you like it.

A very pleasant tune, GianMarco! It sounds a lttle bit English/Elizabethan and a very little bit Irish to my mind. Thanks for posting it.

Thanks fiddlefingers , BTW , it sounds a bit breton to my mind.

Gian-Marco,
can give us some hints about the tempo, groove and so on - it's definitely no reel, but lovely melodies

# Posted on July 26th 2004 by swisspiper

mmmm...It is something similar to a breton dans plinn, or to an unswung hornpipe...

I know it's not like a polka but those bits in the 2nd part remind me of one. It's an interesting tune, but too late at night for me to try it out - the neighbours'll complain :-)

in the 2nd and 3rd part some notes are to be played in groups of three. ( it's obvious, or it is not? )

# Posted on July 26th 2004 by gian marco

It's more obvious with the 3rd part than the 2nd, just from looking at it.

# Posted on July 26th 2004 by Dow

for insatnce, the 2nd part is to be played
