Eanach Dhúin

Slow air.

Eanach Dhúin

Where did you get your transcription from, Falkbeer?

Eanach Dhuin

I think this is the tune of a song sung in Irish by Michael O’Donnell on the first Bothy Band album.

Notation

See also the setting in Tomas O’Canainn’s Traditional Slow Airs of Ireland (#40) which is much more accurate (correct time signature, for a start, though I know that’s a vexed issue with transcribing slow airs, and I’m not generally a fan of that book….), though at a different (and I think preferable for flute/whistle) pitch - a 4th higher, in A dor. FWIW, one can play it in 3/4 as the OP offers it - the notation is not "wrong" in terms of technical inconsistencies, but I think it loses the feel of the tune as sung/played in most of the renditions I’ve heard.

Bad version

I’m learning this tune on tin whistle and this version is awful. Barely relates at all to how the tune should sound. @Jemtheflute thanks for posting an accurate rendition of the tune/song.
