Two Days To Go reel

Diarmaid Moynihan’s composition. Originally posted in Chris Corrigan’s home page.

I transcribed this direct from the recording:

C: Diarmuid Moynihan
M: 4/4
L: 1/8
R: reel
K: Gmaj
~G3d eGEG|dedB AdBA|G2dg eGBd|eGdG (3cBA BA| or dBAB AGEA|

abgb ag~g2|eGdB AGEG|EDGB AGGd|1 dGAB AG~G2:|2 dGAB ADBA||

A couple of variations for bar 4: |dBAB AGEA| or |eddB ADBA|

Not one of my favourite tunes, I have to say. I find it to be very twee-sounding, and that jazzy improvised bit at the end is even more annoying than the tune itself…

Sorry, if that doesn’t work in a converter try this

Nice one Diarmaid!

This transcription is from a live recording of Hamish Napier & Marc Duff from a concert at the Big Whistle Festival in Feb 2013. Hamish Napier was playing a Low F whistle. The recording can be found at http://www.hamishnapier.com/projects/marc-duff-hamish-napier-duo/. One of my favourite tunes on a Low F.

a version from Deanta “whisper of a secret”
