The Humours Of Scarriff

Trabscription: g.m.p.

Nice tune GM. Learnt this one from a Pat O’Connor (a nice slow paced clare fiddler) album called the Green Mountain.

I like the Ddor ( and C ) tunes playable on the D flute.

(Jamie, probably you are a fiddler and you haven’t problems to play in these keys.)

Lovely tune. I first heard it played by John Sheehan with Barney McKenna. Has a lovely ring to it. I’m in the process of learning it now actually. I’ll have it in a few minutes!!

It’s a brilliant tune. Had the privilege to learn it from Grainne Hambly about a month ago. It’s enjoying a vogue around here now.

great tune for practising your C and F naturals on the whistle/flute. I learned it this way from Siobhan ni Chonarain, adapted from no. 43 in the Armagh Pipers Club book (where the first bar is scored beginning dcde)

I have seen this on youtube played by Michael king on flute - great when it’s played slow and ornamented nicely. great tune for practising variations too.

I like to play the first bar:
fade f2ed

The setting as played by Jordi Savall from the album The Celtic Viol.

This transposition makes the tune is playable on the flute. That D# can be played as a natural if you don’t have the key on your flute. It’s a great tune.

transscription of the Bothy Band version. I love the tune!
