Tricky tune

Seems fairly simple and straight forward. But the last few bars, second part, second time around are different than the setting presented here. I suppose whatever works, works. But I have the ending a bit different.

Seldom played?

Not a tune played very often. I was surprised to hear Robert Crosbie play it in Cooley’s House Pub, Ennistymon, this Christmas Eve.

Composer ?

I have a recording of Catherine playing this tune for a Willie Week flute class in 1980, I think it was. I’ve been busy doing a transcription, but did a check and "gianmarco" has beaten me to it. A very fine flute tune indeed. Does anyone know if it’s Catherine’s own composition ? I don’t have that CD, so have no access to the sleeve notes.

Composer?

I have just bought this excellent cd and the sleeve notes do say that this is one of Catherine’s own compositions
