Details ABC Sheetmusic Comments

This is one of those rocking E minor reels that sounds its best when played fairly fast.

This is actually a three part tune. The last two parts I've shown here are basically variations of each other.

I really like that long E note at the start of the tune. The note has an unusual length which then gives the whole bar a syncopated rhythm.

Long E note

That long E note sounds really neat if you slide up to it from the D below. It gives the tune a sort of haunting begining to it, which sounds really neat.

Drowsy maggie

this one works well with drowsy maggie, in the E dorian

# Posted on January 19th 2004 by gravelwalks

If you omit the last staff as shown here (the "variation") you have the tune as I understood it to be commonly played. This would be the 3-part ABC order.

On "An Historic Recording Of Irish Traditional Music" Paddy Canny and co. play it in CAB order.

"The Morning Dew"

Does anyone have the tablature of this reel. I'm playing a Sol/Do accordeon and really enjoy Tony MacMahon's version !!
Thanks in regard

Morning Dew: Joe Cooley's version

I heard that Tony MacMahon plays Joe Cooley's version of the Morning Dew on his solo album from the 80's. The transcription on this website is nothing like that. It might be helpful to cite the source of a particular setting of a tune.

The Morning Dew

I've just found this tune probably derives from Sleepy Maggie (http://thesession.org/tunes/display.php/787), and therefore closely related to Jenny's Chickens (http://thesession.org/tunes/display.php/756). Maybe I'm not the first one to notice the connection among these common tunes.

3rd and 4th measures

a nice variation I've heard on the 3rd and 4th measures is

Was this tune composed by Paddy Moloney?

Morning Dew: An Interesting Version

On HIstoric Recording of Traditional Irish Music from... with Paddy Canny et al, there is a combination of the order. First comes the second two lines( in the sheet music) of Part B, then Part A, then the whole of Part B, then Part A, then the first two lines of Part B, then Part C, then Part A and the first two lines of Part B, then Part C, then the first two lines of Part B. It seems very different order, but very nice to play.

I love this tune after My Love is in America

2nd part

Anyone else only play an 8 bar 2nd part?

Morning Dew: John Doyle version

Thought I'd add this version off "Evening Comes Early" by John Doyle. Played through 2(2AB) with some variations the second time through before changing to the "The Morning Star".

Cheers

Reel: Morning Dew - who recorded it?

I've got a few ideas for backing for Morning Dew.
I'm wondering who has recorded it before, so that I can see if my ideas are original or not!
Thanks

So...just about everyone.

Re: Reel: Morning Dew - who recorded it?

Wow!
That is a lot of artists...
I better get listening to them to check if I'll be stepping on anyones toes.
The backing will contain a loose-skinned djembe, two tight skinned bonjos, fretless bass and a reggae style on the guitar.
The melody will be played on a Low G concert flute! and a regular wooden flute.
- hopefully it goes well

Solas recorded it

They started it with a tune called Coconut Dog.
Here's a video. And yes, it ROCKS! lol
