dancingHello again! I thought you all might like this one. Irish tune called "The Banshee", also known as "McMahon's Reel".

 

Genuine names this time – not my wacky made-ups ones :)

 

Normal speed, then slowed down a bit.

 

So, I just started the upload to YouTube, and I'll come back and add the link. OK?

Hi Jim and good morning to you, is this 'the lilting banshee' of which you speak?
I hope so as this is the first fiddle tune I attampted to learn.

Maybe I should just be patient and wait for the upload

Thanks, Mr. Jim! =)

Love your triplets (i guess it were triplets at 2:00 and 2:16? – in the slow tempo?)

HI Mad,

Yes they were triplets. Bowed triplets – this time, 3 bows on the same note. Up-Down-Up.

Depends on how the music is notated, whether or not you did a bow reset, what beat does it begin with ie up beat or down beat, what did your teacher or conductor say and last but not least what did FM say? follow those rules to be happy, healthy and wise.-fiddle on!jimi-hendrix
