Willie Murray’s, C:?

Here’s a great reel I found on the Old Blind Dogs’ “Play Live” album. Part 3 is an E minor modulation of part 1, but since no “C”s are involved I’m pretending otherwise. On the album, part 4 is just a repeat of part 2, but this might not be the case elsewhere e.g. Blazin’ Fiddles, who play this in a piping style - it’s less straight, anyway. I’ll probably add that setting soon.

On both “Play Live” and “Ther Gab o’ May” the Old Blind Dogs have this as traditional. It was previously recorded by Ossian, and if I remember rightly it’s attributed to “MacDonald”.

2-part setting from the “Queen’s Own Highlanders’ Standard Settings Of Pipe Music”.
