Welcome Home Grainne jig

On one of their recordings--sorry can’t remember which one…

Paul McGrattan also recorded a very imaginative version of the tune on flute. The notes suggest it was in the repertoire of John Doherty. Thank you for reminding me. Now I have to learn it!

Now compare this tune with the first and third part of Langstrom’s Pony ?

Some tunes feel the same, sometimes feel exactly the same (it’s a mood thing, the whole factor) but scrutiny shows that the differences can be many:
This is the Langstrom Pony: https://thesession.org/tunes/61
This is the Mooncoin jig: (3rd part //) https://thesession.org/tunes/206

Am I allowed here to whisper I hate the c natural in the first part? keep it sharp! (the first word in this sentence does not mean Aminor)

This is a dorian version of the tune as found in O’Neill’s Music of Ireland. The original is in mixolydian.

The dorian version of this tune from O’Neill’s 1001 (#297) called “Johnny The Jumper”.
