Six comments

Planxty Fitzgerald

I learnt this at Meitheal Summer School last year. It was one of the big finale pieces we all played together at the last-night concert. Imagine about 80 fiddles, flutes, whistles, accordions, concertinas, banjos, one set of Uilleann pipes and a piano all playing one huge lush arrangement of this tune.

Well, I liked it!

So Do I

🙂

This has to be one of the most beautiful tunes I’ve ever heard.

chordal backing

Just wondering does anyone know what chords would go along with this tune?

Thanks

Buy the composer’s harp book and you could work it out from there:
