John Riordan’s Heels

From Winifred Horan’s playing : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccNGXj3gH-I

play video

Also on a Solas album.

(it’s my first tune post on thesession, I hope it’s ok!)

For flutes…

Quite fun to play a tone down in Eminor on a keyed flute. With very few changes, the two first parts can be played in either octave depending on the mood.

change in the tune

I think that the 3rd and 7th bar are not EB,EA, EB but EA, EB, EA listening to Solas version.

You’re right ! Someone else told me about this, and apparently the mistake has spread up a bit ! So I fixed it… (5 years later !)
