Dominic MacGowan march

Transcribed from the playing of Blazin‘ Fiddles, this tune is played fairly slow and heavily ’dotted’.

There should be 2 more parts to this tune. Sorry I don’t have the music - learnt it years ago. Its a cracking tune.

This is really a march. I believe it’s by Donald MacLeod. It is a four-part tune. If I had any talent for ABC transcription, I’d submit the other two parts. It good to see tunes like this on the Session. It wasn’t so long ago that Highland pipe tunes were scorned at sessions around here.

What use is posting half a tune ?

This is a four-part 6/8 pipe march tune by Duncan Johnstone and the correct name is Dominic MacGowan.

It is definitely a Duncan Johnstone composition. Here is a fine article about the tune and the boy who inspired it.
