Autumn Leaves

This Hornpipe was collected on a reel to reel tape of the Mullingar Fleadh 1966, and played by Al Seery on tin whistle I think it is also known as Falling Leaves & also Fallen Leaves.

Autumn Leaves, X:2

This setting is from the collection of tunes in manuscript form published by Dan Herlihy in 2003. It on page 36, tune 1. As often, the tune has no name. It is remarkably similar to the first setting here, lacking the whistle players upper octave Ds to finish.

POK MSS = Padraig O’Keeffe’s manuscripts. HTH.
